Thousands of Taoist priests in Chaotianguan have been doing things and praying for rain at this altar for dozens of days, and God has not moved at all. Not to mention that the common people and officials looked at them very skeptically, and even the confidence of the Taoist priests themselves was about to collapse.

If you can't ask for rain, you can only blame those monks for the crime.

"This damn weather, if it continues to sunshine, the ground will be scorched!"

"The fire aura is too strong!

Immortal Master Kong wiped his sweat with a sweat towel, and he was also a little anxious.

He couldn't help but think about his origins.

I think he was just a small Taoist priest in Xingzhou County in Wulan State, because he violated the precepts and was not jealous of women, he was driven out of the Taoist Temple to become a wild Taoist, and then he traveled all over the world for decades, and by chance, he broke through the realm of martial artists by mistake, became an immortal cultivator, and saw a lot of the world.

Although he has become an immortal cultivator, he is close to middle age and has only reached the first level of the Qi refining period, and this immortal cultivator has long been gone, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to enter the next level. He has no idea of cultivating immortals, he just wants to enjoy himself in this worldly country, and make up for what he has not enjoyed before.

A few years ago, he returned to Chaotianguan, seized the position of the master, and drove away all the old-fashioned old Taoist priests who drove him in the past.

Besides, he also has some skills at hand, he can cast one or two small spells, turn small clouds, and spread light rain, which is enough to fool those ordinary people who have not seen the world, and make countless ordinary people in Xingzhou stunned by immortals.

For a time, the incense of Chaotianguan was prosperous, and thousands of Taoist priests from all walks of life were gathered, and it became a famous avenue view in Xingzhou County.

This time there was a big drought in Xingzhou County, and the county lord's mansion paid a lot of money to ask Chaotianguan to do a ** thing to ask for rain.

Unexpectedly, Venerable Wu of Tianluo Temple learned the news, and led the crowd to rush over, and forcibly divided the ordinary silver money, to ask for rain together, and compete with Chaotianguan.

Cutting off people's financial means is like killing your parents.

Monk Wu, the presiding officer of Tianluo Temple, was naturally angry

"That old way, I'm afraid I'm cursing the deity!"

On another altar, the fat-headed and oil-eared Venerable Wu was reclining on a bamboo couch, and the bamboo couch weighing hundreds of catties of fat body almost sank most of the time. Next to the bamboo couch is a large ring shovel spiritual weapon. He fanned the big pipa fan in one hand, and looked at the Taoist priest who was looking at the sky from a distance, with a fierce look in his eyes.

Several little monks around him fanned him on all sides to drive away the heat.

"Master! I heard that Immortal Master Confucius is very famous in Xingzhou County, and he can spread clouds and rain and perform immortal methods! The disciple had seen it with his own eyes before, and when he spit out a breath of immortal qi, he summoned a cloud, and the rain began to rain in a hurry. ”

"I don't know what's going on this time, his immortal method actually doesn't work! If he really asks for rain, the face of our Tianluo Temple will be covered by their view of the sky. ”

"Hey, I'm afraid that old Tao has done too many evil things and used up all the mana on the woman's belly. I have long heard that he does not abstain from women, is extravagant, hides women in Taoist temples, and does some unseemly deeds. He deserves to be unlucky!"

The little monk said.

"It's strange that he can ask for rain in this damn weather! Even if he has ten times more mana, he doesn't want to ask for rain. ”

Venerable Wu shook his head.

"Master, what if he gets angry and fights with us?"

The little monks were a little in awe of Immortal Master Kong. The fame of Immortal Master Kong was much higher than that of their master, Venerable Wu.

Venerable Wu snorted coldly, "With his little catty and two, how can the deity not know, it's just a trick to fool people with both hands." The deity is not easy to mess with. If he dares to come, the deity will chop him with a shovel! ”

He had known this Confucian priest for a long time.

A few years ago, when he traveled abroad, he met Confucius in the spiritual land in Xingzhou. This Confucian Taoist was on the first floor of the Qi refining period, and he worked hard to earn a few spirit stones, and only then did he learn one or two spiritual rain techniques and water arrow techniques.

The mortal of the world does not know what the Spiritual Rain Technique is, but he knows it very well.

This spiritual rain technique is just a small spell used by immortal cultivators to water the spiritual field, and it can't be used to fight the law, and it can't be put on the table at all in the spiritual land immortal cultivation world. Water archery can fight, but it is also very weak.

He Venerable Wu also has mana in his body, but he can't spell.

Later, he became the host of Tianluo Temple, and Confucius Daoist ran to Chaotianguan and relied on his spiritual rain technique to become a decent Confucian immortal master. Others don't know, but they really think that this Confucian Immortal Master has a few brushes, which are more powerful than him.

If he fought alone, he would be able to knock Immortal Master Kong to the ground with a spirit shovel

Ye Chen put on a Taoist robe and came to the vicinity of Xingcheng's outside the city.

Outside the city, there are two giant altars made of giant wood, and thousands of Taoist monks are praying for rain.

He was a little puzzled, wanting to see how these secular Taoist monks begged for rain, so he mixed in the crowd of ordinary people to watch.

There are tens of thousands of ordinary people in Xingcheng watching and begging for rain, peddlers, pawns, merchants, officials of all sizes, and thousands of Taoist priests and monks who have been asking for rain for several months, and they have long complained in their hearts. In awe of Immortal Master Kong and Venerable Wu, they did not dare to speak ill of each other. For fear of angering God, the drought will last longer. Relying on God's rain, this is already their only hope. No one dared to offend those Taoist monks at this time.

Ye Chen looked at it for a while, and it was tasteless. These Taoist monks are not casting any spells, but some secular Taoist priests are just using the Dharma to fool money.

Ye Chen turned around and walked towards the city gate.

Xingcheng is the capital of the state and county, and there are a large number of caravans, passers-by, and wealthy people, who are rumbling in horse-drawn carriages and ox carts, and are queuing up to enter the city.

Ye Chen lined up to enter the city gate, but was stopped by the sturdy soldiers guarding the city gate.

"Where did the Taoist priest come from, is there a way to guide him?"

The soldier shouted.

"I don't need a guide to enter the city? I don't see any other cities in Ulan that need a guide. ”

Ye Chen was surprised.

"Earlier it wasn't used. But now that the famine is chaotic, who knows if you are a rebel or a thief, who wants to blend into the city and wait for an opportunity to make trouble! Those who are not residents of the city and have no guide are not allowed to enter the city. Let's go!"

The soldier shouted, waving his hand away. The soldier is mortal with the naked eye, and he can't see Ye Chen's cultivation.

Ye Chen was speechless, touching his nose a little bored.

He originally wanted to go into the city to inquire about the drought situation, but he didn't expect to be able to enter the city.

For immortal cultivators, they can't enter a secular city, and if they are known by the disciples of the Immortal Sect, this face will be lost.

If he didn't disguise himself as an ordinary Taoist priest and directly reveal his identity as a monk of the Void Gate of Tomorrow, he wouldn't need to be so troublesome, just let the county officials come out to greet him.

It's just that in this way, he may not be able to get the situation of the disaster that he wants to know.

Standing in the light is always better than being able to see more in the dark.

Do you want him to use the stealth technique to enter the city incognito? Using the means of immortal cultivators, just to enter the city, this is inevitably a bit of a knife to kill chickens.

Ye Chen was speechless, he didn't want to cast an invisibility spell in public, so he could only turn around and leave.

He saw a notice posted at the gate of the city, guarded by several soldiers in armor. "Xingzhou County Government, seek capable people and strange people to eliminate the drought!" "This notice has been out for more than half a year, and the talented people and people in Xingzhou County are already in the county lord's mansion, and no one can alleviate the drought. "Many pedestrians and business travelers in and out of the city, many people are near the announcement, and there is a lot of discussion.

Ye Chen's heart moved, and he walked over to watch.

The notice said that as long as the list was revealed, he would be able to go to the county lord's mansion and be rewarded with preferential treatment from the county lord's mansion. If the drought can be alleviated, there is a great reward.

"A capable person, if the list is revealed, he can also enter the city! and he can become a guest of honor in the county lord's mansion. ”

Ye Chen groaned.

This method is simpler and effortless than using stealth to enter the city. He disguised himself as an ordinary monk, and infiltrated the county government to inquire about the situation, and it was easy to find out the real disaster.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen stepped forward and unveiled a notice posted on the city wall in front of the soldiers.

"Someone has unveiled the list!"

"It's a Taoist priest, and another capable person has come to unveil the list!"

"I don't know what he is capable of, dare to unveil the list!"

The crowd watching the announcement at the city gate was in an uproar. There are many people who watch it, but those who dare to unveil the list may not be able to have one in ten days and half a month. The unveiler was dressed in a Taoist robe and was clearly a Taoist priest.

"Who is Your Excellency, dare to unveil the list?"

Several soldiers guarding the bottom of the list, upset and irritable by the scorching sun, glared at Ye Chen, seeing that he was so young, he didn't look like a Taoist priest who had attained the Tao at all, and couldn't help but shout.

"I'm a monk from out of town, and I happened to be passing through Xingzhou County. I used to learn art elsewhere, and I knew a little about some spells. Although the strength of the person is weak, he can also contribute a little to the county lord. I'll unveil the list now, can I go to the county lord's mansion?"

Ye Chen said with a smile.

"It turned out to be a foreign wild Taoist priest!"

"It can't be nonsense!"

The soldiers looked at Ye Chen with extreme suspicion and discussed with each other.

Since Xingzhou County announced that it was looking for capable people, many scammers came to the county lord's mansion to cheat and cheat in the name of capable people. A lot of money was spent, but nothing was done.

For this reason, they were reprimanded by the superiors.

Although Immortal Master Kong and Venerable Wu were not able to ask for rain, they did have magic power, and their reputation in Xingzhou County was extremely high. Most of those "capable people" who cheat to eat and drink can't even compare to a finger of the two.

The soldiers didn't dare to expose anyone casually, and they all took it to the county lord's mansion.

"Go and invite Immortal Master Kong and Venerable Wu to come! Immortal Master Kong and Venerable Wu are real masters, they will definitely be able to tell at a glance. ”

The soldiers quickly came up with an idea, and a soldier captain reported to a five-grade city guard officer at the city gate, and someone unveiled the list.

The five-rank city guard then ran to the altar not far away, and asked Immortal Master Kong and Venerable Wu to come and verify the authenticity of this capable person.

At the announcement office at the city gate, someone unveiled the list. It has long attracted the attention of the people outside the city, as well as the Taoist monks on the altar.

Soon, Immortal Master Kong calmed down and walked towards the notice.

He was followed by more than a dozen Taoist priests, and all the Taoist priests scolded and scolded in their mouths, rolling up their sleeves, and were very angry, "Where did the wild Taoist priest come from, he didn't have long eyes, and he dared to come and grab a job with us!"

There was also the fat-headed and oil-eared Venerable Wu, who had long been on the altar and couldn't stand the heat, and when he saw that the city guard at the city gate came to invite him over, he just found an excuse to get down from the high altar and go to the city gate to find a shady place to rest.

A small group of Taoist priests, a small group of monks, and two groups of people collided, and they couldn't help but snort coldly.

When they came to the city gate, the five-rank city guard pointed towards the young Taoist priest.

Immortal Master Kong looked at it proudly, and his heart suddenly chuckled, awe-inspiring. Those ordinary people can't see it, but he is an immortal cultivator, how can he not see that this person has mana, and it is unfathomable. Once you exceed several levels, you only know how strong you are, but you don't know how much stronger.

He was only at the first level of the Qi refining stage, and he couldn't see the depth of this young monk at all, and when he got closer, he felt that a pressure made it difficult for him to breathe.
