Chapter 589: Chapter 476 Liuhe Zhuxian Sword Diagram (Big Chapter asking for guaranteed monthly ticket!)_3

On the high mountains of the Qinghai-Tibet region, many people suffer from difficulties in breathing. Tibetans can improve this situation by ingesting powder burned from black datura, or by carrying an aroma pouch of the same. When used in the Central Plains, it can refresh the mind, but occasionally it can cause headaches or even block the meridians.

Besides, it is also used by Tibetans to nurture a supernatural being named "Dahei Tianling", who specifically attacks human brains. I’m not sure whether it has anything to do with the Crown Prince’s sudden illness.

Also, the consecration of the Jinping Dharma King was completed last October, but they didn’t start their journey home until shortly before the New Year. It should be known that Tibetans also celebrate the Tibetan New Year which is about the same time as ours in Central Plains.

According to the monks in the Longfu Temple, they were supposed to return to Tibet in November, but one of them, Zaxigongbu, suddenly fell ill and delayed their departure for a month at the Longfu Temple."

At this moment, Yue Qianqian seemed thoughtful, "Speaking of which, there was a kind of powder in the aroma bags carried by the Crown Prince, the origin of which hasn’t been identified. The Imperial Hospital thought it was chrysanthemum powder, which acts as a brain tonic, but there were pharmacists who believed it was some sort of datura."

Li Xuan couldn’t sit still, "Let’s go to the Longfu Temple to take a look, Yue Qianqian, wait for Peng Fulai to return, and let Xuanchenzi protect you. Ask them to check if the powder in the aroma bag is black datura.

Also ask them if black datura could possibly cause brain tumors? And what the hell is this ’Dahei Tianling’?"

Zhang Yue asked with excitement, "Should we report this to the Emperor?"

He knew that the Jingtai Emperor had always been concerned about this case, and there were many criticisms within the Court, which had put a lot of pressure on Li Xuan.

Now that there appeared a glimmer of hope in this case, with the Crown Prince’s sudden illness possibly being a result of poisoning, Zhang Yue was extremely excited.

"We haven’t even begun yet!"

After giving him a sideways glance, Li Xuan thought for a while, "We should inform the Left Dudu, ask the ’Wusizang Qiuhuso’ to investigate these two people, Duojicairen and Zaxigongbu."

Although the Tibetan area has two Zhihuishi Divisions, ’Wusizang Zhihuishi Division’ and ’Duogan Moving Zhihuishi Division’, in actual fact, the Court only applies a tether strategy to them, and does not involve in their actual administration.

The Liudao Division there does not have any branch.

Only Xiuyiwei has established two Qiuhuso there to monitor the two major Du Du and nine Dharma Kings.

If Li Xuan wanted to investigate these two Master Lamas, he could only do so through the Xiuyiwei channel.

The Longfu Temple is in the northeastern part of the Forbidden City and approximately 15 li away from the Central Army Duanshiguan Yamen in front of Chengtian Gate.

The temple is also very close to the prince’s mansion where Yu Jianji lived before moving into the East Palace, separated only by two main streets and ten lanes, probably about five li.

When Li Xuan arrived, it was already late at night, and the main gate of the Longfu Temple was locked.

Li Xuan did not wait for them to open the door and flew directly into the temple. Meanwhile, Master Xuantong, the abbot of this place, came out to greet him.

Not only was he very respectful to Li Xuan, but he also showed no dissatisfaction with this group of people breaking in without permission.

The Longfu Temple, a temple built by the Court and subordinated to the Honglu Temple, is designated by the Court as special accommodation for Lamas and monks from all regions.

As the abbot of the Longfu Temple, Master Xuantong surely held a high status, but how could he dare to offend Li Xuan?

As a fellow Buddhist practitioner, Master Xuantong had witnessed all the recent tumult in the "Great Huguo Temple," and knew that the instigator of it all was this Marquis of Guanjun standing before his eyes.

Li Xuan and his group were quickly brought before a row of monk’s huts.

"Duojicairen and Zaxigongbu both stayed here," said Master Xuantong with palms together. "These monk huts are for hosting guests, so no one has lived here since they left."

Li Xuan quickly entered and then frowned slightly. The rooms were very clean, even without any dust.

Master Xuantong looked at Li Xuan’s expression, "Monks clean this place daily, but I’ve heard from the sweeping monks that the two guests were very well-behaved.

When they left, they tidied up the rooms very cleaned, which was very different from the other monks."

Li Xuan observed with the Tao-protecting Eyes for a moment, without finding any clues in the two rooms.

Then he came to the backyard garden of the temple. After a quick look around, he walked toward the corner in the west.

About fifty ’black datura’ plants were grown there—Li Xuan had already learned about the general appearance of the black datura on his way here.

"Originally, they had grown about ’one fen’ of the land with black datura here, for which they paid the temple two thousand teal of patterned silver. This was originally against the rules, but they had an official from the Honglu Temple speak on their behalf."

With a worried look, Master Xuantong looked at Li Xuan. From Li Xuan’s expression, he instinctively felt that something might go wrong.

So he was telling Li Xuan everything he knew: "Oh yes, after the black datura bloomed in November, some guests thought the flowers were so beautiful that they picked them without permission. The two guests were very angry and even had a big fight with the monks who looked after the garden.

When they left, they destroyed all the ’black datura’ here. The fifty flowers you see now are from seeds secretly kept and planted by monks in our temple."

Li Xuan squatted down and gaze carefully with the ’Tao-protecting Eyes’.
