Chapter 62 Black Lotus; Ghost Swamp!

Taking the flying knife, Elder Wen Dao first sniffed it with his nose, then burned it with the candle flame, and then said:

"This flying knife is not poisonous."

"Master, is there anything wrong with this hidden weapon?" Lin Xuan asked.

Abbot Sanzang said, "There is nothing wrong with it. It is just an ordinary thing."

Hua Xiaolan thought that it would be useful if she caught the murderer's flying knife.

Maybe, we can use this to infer the identity of the murderer.

But it is useless...

For a moment, she looked a little gloomy.

Seeing that the master was busy, he had to leave the bed and stand next to Xiaolong and Xiaohu.

Seeing this, Lin Xuan sighed in his heart.

So, the clues to the murderer are completely gone?

"Monk Mo is here!"

Outside the door, a monk suddenly shouted.

Soon, Lin Xuan saw a red-robed monk in his early forties walking in without saying a word or smiling.

He had a face as red as a date, a black beard, and a serious look.

"Meet Abbot Sanzang."

Everyone made way for him, and Monk Mo came to the bedside and first greeted Abbot Sanzang.

He frowned and looked at Elder Longchuan who was lying on the bed.

"Doctor Mo, please check on Elder Longchuan's condition. He has been poisoned, but I can't figure out what the poison is."

At this moment, Elder Wen Dao spoke with a hint of guilt.

After all, I am the head of the Medicine King Academy and am well versed in pharmacology and medicine. How come I can't even tell what kind of poison is in a person?
Especially at this critical moment...

Doctor Mo nodded slightly and patiently examined Elder Longchuan, but unfortunately he still found nothing.

Since observation and smelling did not work, he asked palpation:
"What did Elder Longchuan eat and drink tonight?"

"I had the same dinner as everyone else, except that I drank a cup of tea before entering into meditation." Elder Wen Dao repeated what the young monk had said.

"a cup of tea?"

Doctor Mo frowned slightly.

Elder Wen Dao brought the cup of tea and said to himself:
"There should be nothing wrong with this cup of tea..."

Doctor Mo took the cup.

He took out a silver needle from his body, put it in the cup, stirred it, and combined it with the signs of Elder Longchuan's poisoning before, he seemed to have some enlightenment:

"His eyes are sunken, his face is pale and his body is stiff. It seems that Elder Longchuan has been poisoned by the black lotus."

When this was said, everyone looked confused:
"Black Lotus Poison?"

"What kind of poison is this and why have I never heard of it?"

Elder Wen Dao looked at Monk Mo with confusion.

"There is a kind of poison recorded in ancient books that has not been seen for many years. It is understandable that Elder Wen Dao does not know about it." Doctor Mo explained.

however.

When Lin Xuan heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

When he was copying the first volume of the Book of Power, he clearly remembered that the poison black lotus was recorded in it!
Black lotus is colorless and odorless, and is a chronic and highly toxic substance.

One day after being poisoned, his eyes became sunken.

On the third day, the eyes will become ulcerated and will melt away at the touch of a finger!

On the ninth day, the whole body will turn into dry bones and the person will die!

The whole process can be said to be extremely cruel and bloody.
While thinking, Lin Xuan began to question the monk Doctor Mo in front of him:
"Which ancient book did this monk Mo see this poison? Could it be the Book of Power?"

As soon as this thought came out, it was suppressed by Lin Xuan!
The "Book of Power" had been kept in the Sutra Repository before, and only the abbot Sanzang was qualified to view it.

Many elders have only heard of its name but don’t know where it is?
Not to mention having the right to view it.

Not to mention Monk Mo Yi, even Elder Wen Dao, the head of the Medicine King Academy, would not be able to read the "Book of Power" without the consent of Abbot Sanzang.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan couldn't help but look at Abbot Sanzang calmly:

"Oh, right, maybe Master is also suspicious..."

As if he noticed Lin Xuan looking over, Abbot Sanzang looked normal, just like Elder Xuanfeng and the others, who all looked confused.

It seems that, like everyone else, you have never heard of this so-called black lotus?
"Can Elder Longchuan be saved?" Everyone was silent and waited in silence. After a while, Elder Zhaozhen at the side asked hurriedly.

"Hard to say……"

Doctor Mo looked embarrassed.

"Elder Wen Dao, can you prepare an antidote?"

“It should be possible, but it will take at least two months…” Elder Wen Dao said with a wry smile.

Preparing the antidote is very complicated.

It takes a month just to test the medicine.

Two months is still a conservative estimate.

"Isn't there any other way?"

Elder Xuanfeng sighed, feeling helpless.

At this moment, Abbot Sanzang suddenly spoke:
"I have heard that there is a strange flower growing in the Ghost Swamp. This flower can cure all kinds of poisons. If we can pick it, it should be able to save Elder Longchuan..."

"But it is said that the ghost swamp is guarded by a giant python, and ordinary people can't enter it at all."

When Doctor Mo heard what Abbot Sanzang said, a gleam of light flashed across his eyes, but it disappeared in a moment.

Elder Xuanfeng was impatient. When he learned that Elder Longchuan could still be saved, he immediately shouted:

"What are you waiting for!"

"Tomorrow morning I will select a few monks and set off to the Ghost Swamp to pick that strange flower."

Abbot Sanzang waved his hand and said:

"Don't worry, I will arrange it tomorrow."

"This thief attacked Elder Longchuan tonight. He might come again tomorrow. We must be careful and guard against him."

Elder Zhao Zhen nodded:
"What Abbot Sanzang said makes sense."

"The most urgent task is to be on guard, but Elder Longchuan's situation cannot be delayed any longer."

Abbot Sanzang suddenly had an idea and told everyone:

"You guys go out first. I want to help Elder Longchuan pass on his Qi and seal his meridians. This may help slow down the onset of the poison."

Since this concerns the safety of Elder Longchuan, no one dares to be negligent.

Not long after Abbot Sanzang finished speaking, everyone walked out one after another.

Half an hour later.

The door opened again.

The crowd filed in again and went in to inquire about the situation.

Abbot Sanzang said to comfort him:
"Don't worry, I have saved Elder Longchuan's life for now, but we can't delay any longer. We must pick the exotic flower within three days. Otherwise, even if we save Elder Longchuan, he will end up disabled."

Hearing this, everyone became solemn.

He stayed in the room for a while before leaving.

Tonight, according to the arrangement of Abbot Sanzang and others, Elder Wen Dao will be in charge of taking care of things here.

In that case, there would be no problem for Lin Xuan and the other three.

Everyone could only return to the dormitory with heavy hearts.

Lin Xuan couldn't let go of the fact that the monk Mo Yi had spoken about the black lotus. When he was almost at the dormitory, he turned around and ran to the abbot's courtyard:

"Xiaolong, Xiaohu, you two go back first. I need to go find Abbot Sanzang."

"Brother!"

Seeing Lin Xuan leaving in a hurry, Xiaohu couldn't help but shout.

Xiaolong's eyes flickered, as if he had guessed something:
"Brother must want to go to that ghost swamp and pick the strange flowers."

"Oh, to Ghost Swamp?"

Xiaohu uttered a sigh and said without thinking:
"Then I'm going too!"

"Come on, maybe it will be Elder Xuanfeng who will lead the team tomorrow. He won't take us with him."
