Chapter 113: The Night of the Eclipse

Everyone's suspicious gaze was on him, after all, the person who could predict the lunar eclipse now was probably not born yet. Liu Ze was calm and relaxed, sipping tea leisurely, and he didn't look anxious at all.

I don't know how long I waited, anyway, the air at the scene was very dull, no one spoke, watching the moon rise to the middle of the sky little by little, and the lunar eclipse still did not appear.

Ruan Yu finally couldn't help it, and said sarcastically: "The moon stars are scarce, the moon is empty, Liu Gongzi, your tengu shouldn't have slipped away to other places." ”

Liu Ze sat there with his eyes closed, deaf to Ruan Yu's words.

Ruan Yu was about to get angry, and the sharp-eyed Lu Cui suddenly exclaimed, "Look, the moon seems to be missing." ”

Everyone looked up, but no, a piece of the moon that was like a silver plate just now was obviously missing, and the shadow part was getting bigger and bigger, not to mention, it really looked like it had been bitten by something. Soon, the moon was half-broken, and the moonlight was much hazy.

Cai Yong and the others all looked at each other, although Liu Ze's words were conclusive, but if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, I'm afraid no one would have believed it. Now that the facts are in front of us, it is impossible for everyone to disbelieve that a person can accurately predict the changes in the heavens, and not be like a god?

At this time, Luoyang City was boiling, and a burst of gongs sounded rapidly, people were shouting, and dogs were barking wildly, as if they wanted to use gongs and screams to scare away the tengu that ate the moon and recover the vanishing moon.

In the palace, Emperor Ling of Han, who was singing every night, was playing with a large group of almost unattached palace ladies in the naked palace, and the sound of the deacons and eunuchs hurrying outside the palace came out, and he said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty...... Big things are not good. Emperor Han Ling Zhengxing's head was disturbed by him like this, a black line appeared on his head, and he said angrily: "What's the alarm? The deacon and eunuch said: "Your Majesty, the sky is changing, and the heavenly dog is barking at the moon-" Emperor Han Ling was shocked, put on his dragon robe indiscriminately, and rushed out of the palace gate.

Most of the full moon in the sky had fallen into the mouth of the tengu, leaving only a curved moth eyebrow moon, and in an instant, the moth eyebrow moon was also swallowed cleanly, and only a black round shadow remained of the big moon, and the cold light was faintly scattered around it, and the starry sky was much brighter at the moment.

Fear and panic were written on Emperor Han Ling's distorted face, his legs weakened, he sat down on the steps, his eyes were blank, and he muttered to himself: "Oh my God, is it possible that my great man is really going to die?" ”

Zhang Jiao, who was far away in Jizhou, had red eyes, waved his arms excitedly, held his sword high, and shouted with all his might: "Heavenly Dao! Heavenly way! God help me! Sons, this is the will of heaven, make me peaceful! The heavens are dead! Huang Tian should stand! Years old in Jiazi! The world is lucky! Below him was a group of fanatical believers wrapped in yellow scarves, frantically waving flags and rudimentary weapons and shouting: "The sky is dead!" Huang Tian should stand! Years old in Jiazi! The world is lucky! ”

Zhu Jun, who had just arrived in Yingchuan, won the first battle, broke the Yellow Turban Army, and when the army was resting at night, suddenly there was a shout outside the camp, and countless Yellow Turban thieves rushed up to kill, but saw that this group of Yellow Turbans were all red eyes like blood, full of energy, and desperately impacted the defense line of the official army. Although the officers and men had an advantage in weapons and equipment, they were naturally powerless to resist in the face of the Yellow Turban Army, which was dozens of times more numerous and had an unprecedented fighting spirit, and the fierce battle did not take long for the officers and soldiers to suffer heavy casualties, and in desperation, Zhu Jun had no choice but to abandon the camp and retreat to Yingchuan City.

Fear was also written on Ruan Yu's face, the waning moon in the sky haunted his heart like a nightmare, and the lunar eclipse really appeared! The appearance of the lunar eclipse means that he has lost, and the price of losing is that he has been expelled from Cai Men since then, and he is no longer Cai Yong's disciple. Thinking of this result, Ruan Yu couldn't help but tremble, becoming a Cai Men is the most coveted thing as a scholar, although Cai Yong is not in the officialdom, but with Cai Yong's qualifications, it is a prominent thing to be his disciple, and it also means that the future is bright. And this qiē will become a thing of the past, and from tomorrow, Ruan Yu will become a laughing stock in the Luoyang scholar circle, and will inevitably be notorious. He suddenly felt a trace of remorse, why did he want to bet with Liu Ze, who was as surprising as this mystery, he actually lost a mess today, and he really wanted him to leave Caimen, but he was unwilling in his heart.

Liu Ze saluted Cai Yong and said, "Teacher, although this apprenticeship ceremony has been delayed for a lot of time, the students still don't want to delay it until tomorrow, I don't know if it can be completed tonight?" ”

Cai Yong seemed to have just woken up from the surprise, and said busily: "Of course, let's go to the middle hall to talk." ”

In fact, the gift of apprenticeship is also very simple, Liu Ze has bowed down, offered tea to the teacher, and presented the gift of apprenticeship. Cai Yong is a little embarrassed about the gifts of the apprentice, accept them, these gifts (Lu's Spring and Autumn and blue and white porcelain) are too valuable, don't accept it, this is the disciple's heart, that there are teachers who refuse to accept the gifts of the apprentice, if you really want to refuse, isn't it a refusal to get started?

In the middle of the ring, Cai Yong said: "Runde, with your talent, it is really my Caimen's honor to be able to enter my Cai family, and the six bundles of cultivation have been accepted by the teacher, but this "Lu's Spring and Autumn Period" and blue and white porcelain are too valuable, and they dare not accept it for the teacher." ”

Liu Ze said with a smile: "Lu's Spring and Autumn is a unique book, although the value is unlimited, but in the eyes of secular people, it is just a few bamboos that burn the fire, the teacher has a collection of thousands of books, and regards books as life. As for these porcelain, they are just some utensils, which are convenient for people's lives, they are both priceless and priceless, and the teacher is a noble person, so there is no need to stick to vulgar things. ”

Cai Yong laughed and said: "In this way, it is stupid for the teacher, okay, good, your gift is accepted for the teacher." ”

After the ceremony, Liu Ze officially became a disciple of the Cai family, and Gu Yonglu came up to congratulate him. The young and the old were orderly, Liu Ze saluted them to show his respect, and the titles became Senior Brother Gu and Senior Brother Lu. Cai Yan is three or four years younger than Liu Ze, and this Senior Brother Liu can't run.

Cai Yan also bowed to Liu Ze generously, and said, "Senior Brother Liu is above, please accept the little sister's worship." ”

Liu Ze returned the salute and said, "Senior Sister Yan doesn't need to be polite. ”

Cai Yan smiled slyly and said, "Little sister, this senior brother can't be called in vain, so Senior Brother Liu should also give a meeting gift, right?" ”

Liu Ze was stunned, he really didn't expect Cai Yan to openly ask for gifts, in addition to preparing for the gift of apprenticeship today, Liu Ze really didn't prepare extra gifts, but there was a big pile of money tickets in his arms, but if he really wanted to take this out, he couldn't help the peerless beauty in front of him - too vulgar. He hesitated for a moment and said, "This is natural, it's just that I came in a hurry today, and I haven't prepared a decent gift, how about making up for my junior sister tomorrow?" ”
