Chapter Eighty-Eight: Drinking Tea

readx;

With the return of the clan elders, when the palace announced the punishment of Bu Su and the silence. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info After a while, two monks walked in from outside the hall. The two monks, one after the other, were in their forties, and the monk who walked in front of him was holding a vermilion lacquered wooden plate in his hand. There are two fragrant teas on the plate, which are still steaming slowly. The monk who walked behind him held a vermilion lacquer plate cover and a red cloth in his hand. The next moment the two walked into the hall, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall. Wherever the two passed, the monks made their debuts one by one. It wasn't until the two monks walked to the center of the hall and stopped standing for a time that the noise in the hall due to the appearance of the two gradually quieted down. But there are still people who are still whispering about what will happen next.

"Amitabha! Senior Brother Bu Jin can be regarded as benevolent and righteous! Bu Su committed three serious crimes, and was punished together, and his life could not be guaranteed. If you can get a punishment that is not common in these sects, although there is a fifty percent chance of death. But he can't say that he drank raw tea, so his life was saved. ”

"Yes! As long as Bu Su drank raw tea, then he would not be able to die for these three felonies. If he drank dead tea, then he would not be able to repay his sin with his life. It's better than suffering from flesh and skin, and fighting to the death. After all, the same disciple and brother... This life and death silence is really a good method. Senior Brother Bu Jin showed mercy in the end! This life and death depends on how he chooses himself. ”

"Humph! The best step is to choose dead tea! Although Senior Brother Bu Jin was benevolent and righteous, he gave him a chance for fifty percent of his life. But after all, he betrayed Senior Brother Bu Jin and voted for the Yan family! And what Senior Brother Bu said just now is reasonable! The church affairs have been abandoned to such a field now, and he can't get rid of it! This is the only one he deserves to die! ”

"Alas! You can't say the same either... After all, Busu was your and my senior brother... Even if he shouldn't have betrayed Senior Brother Bu Jin and voted for the Yan family. But wasn't it the first master who asked him to go? Although he shouldn't have agreed to be entrusted by his first teacher, but after all..."

"Alright! Alright! Anyway, he Bu Su shouldn't have betrayed Senior Brother Bu Jin in the first place. Today is the reward he will receive! You intercede with Busu like this, is it possible that you are still looking for him?! ”

"Huh?! Where do I to... Towards him?! It's just that... I just think..."

Just when the monks in the hall still had some private words, Xiang Hui instructed the two monks who brought the tea to the Buddha: "Test the tea! ”

With Xiang Hui's instructions, the two monks who came to the center of the hall began to inspect the tea after bowing slightly to the five elders of the main hall.

First, the monk with the tray and the cloth placed the two things in his hand on the ground. Then he successively left and right, picked up the end of the monk Zhu lacquered wooden plate, two cups of fragrant tea to drink one by one. Immediately, the tea drinker took out a small paper bag from his arms. After opening the paper bag in public, he threw the green powder in the bag into one of the two teas. In the small paper bag was a medicine bag with herb poison. After the grass poison green powder was put into the fragrant tea, it instantly blended with the tea, and there was no trace of abnormality. And because the fragrance of tea overshadows the smell of grass poison, it is really impossible to distinguish the grass poison that blends with tea.

After the tea drinker threw the grass poison, he immediately pulled up the long sleeves of the monk's robe. After the disc cover and the cloth that had just been placed on the ground were displayed to everyone one by one. Only then did the dish cover lightly cover the tea tray. Thus the cover was also covered on the disc cover. It is impossible to see the two cups of tea covered by the cover and cloth.

And the tea monk who has done all this is after doing all these things well. Then he put his hand into the cloth and felt through the hole left in the cover. Therefore, in a period of silent recitation of the scriptures, after a period of fiddling, he withdrew his hands from the cloth and the plate cover, put his hands together and bowed to the clan elders and replied: "Amitabha! Tea is ready for the sinful monk to drink. Can it be opened? ”

Xiang Hui nodded slightly and said lightly: "Hmm! Cover up! ”

"No!"

After the tea drinker received the order of the minister, he took off the cover and the plate cover in turn, revealing the two cups of tea on the tea tray that had changed their positions. When the tea monk took off the cloth and plate cover, and bowed slightly to the clan elders again to show respect, no one saw a look of panic in his eyes...

"Senior Brother of the First Seat..."

Just as Bu Jin, who was looking at all this in front of him, was thinking about something to himself, Bu Jin, who was sitting next to him, called to him.

When Bu Jin turned his head with a little confusion and looked at Bu Ji who was embarrassed, Bu Ji said again: "Both, I want to give him a ride at the end!" I also hope that the first senior brother will be completed! ”

Bu Jin frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something. But then his brows relaxed, and he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Alas! I knew why I didn't start today... His current situation is all the fruit of his own brewing. Even if you don't have your junior brother to help him, he will definitely not be able to leave the fixed number! Don't blame yourself too much. Senior brother also knows that you miss the same family! Since you want to give him one last ride, go ahead! ”

Although Bu Jin said such a thing on his face, he was actually a little unhappy in his heart. After all, Kebu has contributed a lot to himself over the years, and he can be said to be the first hero to help him regain his first position. And after he had thought about today's affairs, he had to give in and become an elder of the church to help him deal with the affairs of the church in the future. Since he asked himself to mention this matter in person, he could not refute his face regardless of reason or reason, so he had no choice but to respond to his invitation.

Bu Ji folded his hands and bowed slightly: "Senior Brother Xie!" ”

Just when everyone in the hall was watching the two monks, Bu Ji slowly stood up and said to the clan elders, clasping his hands together: "Amitabha! There are words and pleases! ”

Xiang replied: "What did the master and nephew invite?" ”

Bu Ji said: "Yes, I want to ask the clan elder to let him come and hold tea for the sin monk Bu." ”

Without waiting for Xianghui's consent, Bu Su, who was covered in blood and sweat, also said loudly: "Xianghui clan elder, Bu Su also wants to invite Bu to come and hold tea!" Bu Su couldn't help the corners of his mouth when he spoke, and looked at Bu Ji with a smile.

"Alright! Then the master and nephew will come to hold tea for the sin monk step! ”

After a deep groan, Xiang Hui agreed, and the step came to hold the tea for the step.

After the old Xie clan returned, he slowly walked to the center of the hall again. Under the gaze of everyone in the hall, Buji's footsteps stopped beside the Duanpan monk. At the same time, Bu Su also staggered to the front of the Duanpan monk.

Yan, who was holding his hands tightly in his sleeves, looked at Bu Su, who was about to drink the Silent Tea. The fair face with a slight frowning of the eyebrows couldn't help but add a bit of indescribable bitterness. Although she still keeps comforting herself in her heart... Maybe I just thought too much, or maybe these two cups of tea were not tampered with. But she knew that Bu Jin would not be so kind and leave a way for Bu Su to survive! Even if he jumped out at this time and said that these two cups of tea were poisonous tea, then... And how? That's right... For the sake of her own children, she can't be so reckless. But, just watching, watching him just like this... How can I bear it?! Busu....

"Senior brother Buji, it's really good that you can come and help the Sprinkler family hold tea!"

Bu Su grinned. As he spoke, he pulled the wounds on his body, but he couldn't help frowning slightly and gasped.

Bu Ji put his hands together and said, "Amitabha! I don't know which cup my brother wants to drink? Both, he is the senior brother. ”

Bu Ji did not answer, but directly asked Qi Su which cup of tea he wanted to drink. Bu Su smiled a little ugly because of the pain: "Since you come to help me hold the tea, then how about you choose this tea for me?" No matter which cup you choose, drink it! ”

As Bu Su said this, the hall couldn't help but start talking. Even Bu Jin couldn't help frowning slightly, only to feel that Bu Su was really cunning! In his heart, he thought that he was using this as his last struggle. Even if you are about to die, you have to take advantage of the opportunity of your own side to go against yourself! As a result, after thinking about it again, they both complained a little bit. If it weren't for the step, he would have to send the step to the last ride, and he wouldn't have been caught by it! But that's all it can be.

"Then it's for the senior brother."

Bu was both down, and after Bu Su said that he would choose tea for him, he agreed without concessions.

Bu Su, who smiled and nodded slightly, couldn't help but squint slightly when he looked at the junior brother who chose tea for him. I can't help but feel a little bitter in my heart... He, but he hasn't been with this brother like a brother for a long time... Spoken. Today... It would be nice to be able to say something about it.

Soon, Bu Ji chose tea for Bu Su, and held the tea in his hand and handed it to Bu Su. Looking at Bu Ji holding the fragrant tea handed to him, Bu Su seemed to remember something... But it was a long time ago. At that time, he and Bu Ji were just teenagers following the master. At that time, the favorite thing for the junior disciples to do was to serve tea and water to themselves and other junior brothers when practicing sticks. Because the younger brother of Buji has been weak since he was a child, even the master has spoken, and he doesn't need to practice sticks. But because of this, he became the person who served tea and poured water for himself and other brothers. At that time, everyone was talking and laughing, and the tea prepared for himself was also the best and coolest because of the best relationship with him...

Bu Su's broad palm slowly stretched out, and he casually took the fragrant tea from Bu Ji's hand. It's as if reality and the past overlap again at this moment. Bu Su said again with a smile, in the past, when he was a child, he often served tea to drink, and his junior brother Bu Ji often said jokingly: "Tea ~ is still cold and good~"

Bu was slightly stunned and couldn't help stiffening, but he also replied as if subconsciously: "It's too cool..."
