For people like Shen Mo who look at weather forecasts every day in later generations, of course he doesn't believe that carrying out the Dragon King to ask for rain will have any bullshit effects.

But the common people believe this, and he has no choice.

Now this team of rain-seeking team cannot see the beginning and the end behind, and Shen Mo does not know when it will be until they can finish it.

If he was going to rush over now... I guess if he did this, it would not rain in a few days, the people would definitely say that this was because he was hit by soldiers during the rain prayer, which angered the Dragon King and the like.

So now Shen Mo could only grit his teeth and stood by the side of the road patiently.

...At this time, when he saw the Tongzhou commander coming, several people in the team followed An Jun to Shen Mo's horse.

There is a chubby Taoist priest here, probably the clergyman in this team.

There is also an old man who is quite old and dressed in silk clothes.

Seeing his luxurious clothes, Shen Mo probably was the head of the local wealthy household and the person who invested in the rain ceremony.

Another person immediately bowed after seeing Shen Mo, and this was the local county magistrate of Dengzhou.

Of course, since Shandong is the occupied area of ​​Shen Mo, this official was also assigned by Tongzhou.

In the words of the court, he was an official who was elected in the North.

Nowadays, officials in the Song Dynasty are divided into "southern election" and "northern election". Of course, this is a private name in the officialdom.

The so-called Southern Examination is the official origin of the imperial court, while the Northern Examination is a government official sent by a group of forces in Shen Mo and Tongzhou to govern the local government.

In the current Song Dynasty, some of them are nominally still belong to the imperial court, but in fact they are in the hands of Shen Mo. They are all these "northern elected officials" who govern civil affairs.

These places include Guangnan East Road, Guangnan West Road, Fujian Road and Huainan West Road.

They are not considered Shen Mo's inherent sphere of influence, but they were recovered by Shen Mo before, so they naturally became his territory.

Dengzhou is not the case. From the time of Yang Miaozhen's Red Coat Army to the present, Shen Mo has been governing Shandong for four or five years, so this is definitely Shen Mo's sphere of influence.

Seeing that his officials followed the people out to pray for rain, Shen Mo did not show any disgust.

Because as a local official, you must also take care of local customs and folk customs.

So no matter whether the county magistrate believes in the Dragon King or not, he cannot say what his fault was when he participated in this event.

...At this time, the three people also stepped forward one after another. After they greeted Shen Mo, they all reported their names.

The fat Taoist priest's Taoist name was "Leran". After hearing this, Shen Mo even took a special look on his face.

When he found that the old Taoist's eyes were fine, he immediately felt that the Taoist name was not appropriate.

Then the wealthy businessman also reported his name and said that his surname was Luo and his name was Luo Yushu.

Shen Mo was right before. He was the representative of the local wealthy households. He paid for this rain-seeking event.

Then there was the official, Shen Mo met him not long ago when he arrived in Dengzhou.

This person's name is Liu Ke, because the two had met a few days ago.

Moreover, Tongzhou officials did not need to pay a big gift to visit when meeting Shen Mo.

So the magistrate Liu bowed according to the rules of Tongzhou and saw the courtesy with Shen Mo.

Not far from them, the team carrying the Dragon King to pray for rain also stopped.

Shen Mo saw a group of people a few feet away, looking at this side curiously, and still talking in a low voice.

Although they didn't know that the commander Shen Mo was coming, they also knew that the person who came with his soldiers must be a big shot.

So for a moment, thousands of eyes were looking at Shen Mo and the others.

At this moment, Shen Mo saw this already long team and stopped now, and couldn't help but feel anxious again.

After the gentry in front of him knelt down and bowed, he also stood up with An Jun's support.

He now knew Shen Mo's identity, so he couldn't help but look nervous and nervous.

At the same time, the fat Taoist priest in front of Shen Mo knew it, but he bowed slightly to Shen Mo.

He looked calm and composed, as if he was confident.

At this time, the Taoist priest saw Shen Mo looking at him, and then he slowly stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Since it's a noble man who has come here, that's just right!"

"We are the ones who ask for rain, and we are afraid that we will not be able to go to the sky to listen. We are in a panic and do not know if we can ask for this rain."

"I didn't expect the commander to come here. It was God who gave me a way out for the people of Tongzhou!"

...Seeing this Taoist priest being slow and talking in a row, Shen Mo suddenly felt disgusted.

To be honest, he missed the demonic Taoist Ling Xiaozi a little now.

If he was present today, he would probably be very interesting to debate with the Taoist priest, or even the fighting style.

But now Shen Mo has no time to grind his teeth with such a Taoist priest in the martial arts world?

"The Taoist priest may as well say something," Shen Mo immediately waved his hand slightly, stopped the Taoist priest's nonsense, and then asked him straight to the point.

The fat Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, looked at Shen Mo and then continued: "The commander is worth a lot of money. He must have been a member of the immortal class in his previous life.

In this life, I will definitely descend to the earth in the stars, and I am definitely not a person with physical body and mortality!”

"If the commander feels sorry for the people, I beg you to worship in front of the Dragon King... In this way, the nobles ask for rain will definitely be very different from ordinary people!"

"Your uncle..." When Shen Mo heard this, he was secretly angry and understood it all! This Taoist priest of Daoran was so brave that he dared to use him as a ladder to cross the river!... If you want to tell what was going on here, among the people at the scene, it is estimated that only this old Taoist and Shen Mo knew the most.

Because Shen Mo had been an undercover agent in his previous life with the fake living Buddha, he was so familiar with these fake clergymen’s routine of cheating people of money.

Like today's event, the rain-seeking ceremony must be huge.

Luo Yushu, the local wealthy businessman here, is actually just a sucker for spending money.

The official next to him, Liu Ke, also came to watch the fun and expressed his importance to the matter by the way.

The one who really gained a lot of benefits was the fat old man in front of him! So it would not rain after the ceremony today.

This incident has greatly damaged the reputation of the fat old man.

So in terms of the word "正在" in the world, Mingran needs a ladder to cross the bridge.

Shen Mo just happened to experience it and just caught up! As mentioned in the previous article, if Shen Mo rushed over from the middle of this team regardless of concern, it would be the only one that was the fat old Taoist.

Because in this way, if you ask for rain, you won’t be able to do it.

He could immediately put the cause of failure on Shen Mo's head.

After all, it was Shen Mo who led people to collided with the Dragon King's car driver team. The Dragon King must be unhappy, right?
