Dragon Ball, while crossing the heavens and the world

After conquering Daming Mansion, Luo Yan followed Junzhou's plan to promote young talents in Daming Mansion, preside over the distribution of fields and recruit soldiers.

Daming Mansion has a large population and a more complicated social environment, so Luo Yan stayed here for a few more days.

Soon after, the soldiers who divided the fields reported the news that they had encountered a monster in Wesuli.

Someone saw a black python in the farmland beside the Vesuli River.

The big python snaked for dozens of meters, was as thick as a bucket, had horns on its head, and was so ferocious that it almost frightened several farmers who met him to death.

Luo Yan became interested. In this world of the Book of Heaven, he had not encountered any monsters yet. This was the first time he heard news about monsters today.

"Where is this Weisuli?"

Luo Yan asked, and a young local official from Daming Prefecture who was promoted by him immediately replied: "Your Majesty, this Weisuli is Wang Mang's hometown."

"Isn't Wang Mang's ancestral home in Shandong?" Luo Yan had some historical knowledge and was not fooled.

"Back to the king, Wang Mang's ancestral home is indeed Shandong, but his great-grandfather Wang He came to Shalu Mountain to arrest thieves for the court. He found that these so-called thieves were hungry common people, so he had kind thoughts and stopped pursuing them. The local people I was very grateful to him and allowed him to live in Wesuli in Shalu Mountain. This became Wang Mang's hometown."

"Oh, Vesuli is still a famous historical city, but you said so much, is this giant python monster related to Wang Mang?"

The official asked back: "I wonder if your Majesty has heard of the allusion of the dragon not waiting for the python."

"No, come and listen."

"According to legend, Wang Mang poisoned Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty with medicinal wine and usurped the throne to become emperor. God condemned him and refused to rain in Wang Mang's hometown for three years, making his father and fellow villagers resent Wang Mang.

Without rainfall, crops cannot grow.Wang Mang said that if the sky does not serve, the python will.

As a divine creature on earth, the python is also very powerful. It cannot call wind and rain, but it can also summon water vapor and demonic mist.

So Wang Mang sent a message to a black python: During the day, the river water flowed for ten miles, at night, the well water flowed for five miles, and the dew at dawn flowed four fingers.

The black python did as he was told, and cast a spell to summon clouds and mist to nourish the crops. It was also because of Wang Mang's words that even though it didn't rain, Daming Mansion still had abundant grains in those 18 years and had bumper harvests every year. "

Luo Yan listened with great interest: "There is also such a story. Could it be that the giant python in the mountain was the monster that obeyed Wang Mang's will and brought a good harvest to the people?"

The young official nodded, "The farmer reported that what he saw was a black python. This must be the monster that helped Wang Mang."

"What's the reason for the rebirth of a monster from more than 1000 years ago?" Luo Yan said subconsciously.

The official was cautious and a little excited: "The reappearance of the divine python may indicate that the king will replace the Song Dynasty..."

Hearing this, Luo Yan frowned.

He asked accusingly: "Is this true about this giant python, or is it a rumor you concocted?"

When the ancients rebelled, they always concocted strange images. It was nothing like the great ancestor who killed a white snake or a stone man with one eye, and stirred up rebellion across the Yellow River.

Could it be that someone wants to flatter him and deliberately spread this rumor?

"My subordinates dare not spread rumors, Your Majesty. I did not know about the divine python before. I just expressed my feelings and asked Your Majesty to punish me."

Luo Yan closed his eyes and said nothing, and spread out his spiritual power, searching along Daming Mansion to see if there were really monsters.

If there really were monsters, then it wasn't because his subordinates were deceiving him. If not, then he would punish these subordinates for their crimes.

They have been indoctrinated with modern ideas, so why are they still engaging in these crooked ways?

His mental power was like a tentacle, scanning the area surrounding Daming Mansion inch by inch, not sparing no matter whether it was in the sky, on the ground, or in the water.

Suddenly, his mental power sensed an unusually powerful aura of life. It was not the aura of a cultivator, nor the aura of a city god, but a beast-like aura.

Powerful, many times more powerful than ordinary people.

"There really are monsters!"

Luo Yan was startled and wanted to target the owner of this energy.

But the monster seemed to be aware of Luo Yan's mental scanning, its breath disappeared in a flash, and then disappeared.

In the World of Heavenly Book, the use of divine consciousness by gods and monsters is much more sophisticated than in the World of Devouring Starry Sky. They have many ways to avoid Luo Yan's rough mental scanning.

However, Luo Yan's sudden scan had roughly located the hiding place of the monster. At this time, it was too late for the monster to hide.

"There really are monsters. It seems I wrongly blamed you."

Luo Yan asked the young official to stand up: "Let's go and have a look at Weisuli."

The official stopped him and said, "No, Your Majesty. The monster is so cruel. How can I let Your Majesty put himself in danger?"

"Haha, are you underestimating my strength?" Luo Yan sneered.

"I don't dare, I don't dare, but when your Majesty governs Daming Mansion, you have to make decisions on everything. I think your Majesty should put political affairs first. As for dealing with monsters, you only need to send a few soldiers."

Luo Yan snorted coldly: "I still need to worry about the governance of this land, so what do I want you to do? Stand down, I have decided to go to Weisuli. Let Leng Ying and Wu Ying come in."

After being reprimanded, the young official finally resigned quietly.

Luo Yan took Leng Ying and Wu Ying and set off for Wesuli.

Weisuli was not far to the east of Daming Mansion. Luo Yan and the others flew directly from the sky and soon arrived at the place where the monster's aura was discovered.

Unexpectedly, the monster's aura was in the local village.

Daming Mansion is surrounded by vast plains, with no mountains to hide in, but it would be too arrogant for a monster to hide in a village!

The village is different from the big city, and every household is very familiar. If a monster wants to hide its identity and stay in the village, I'm afraid it won't be able to hide for long.

But if this monster is very cunning, it is not impossible to hide it from the villagers for decades.

Luo Yan scanned the people in the village with his mental and telekinesis power, and used magic to open his eyes to observe the traces of evil spirits, but found nothing.

All the villagers are human and have no monster changes.

Luo Yan looked at a river far away from the village, and after thinking about it, he felt that the giant python might be hidden in the underground water veins.

And because the village happened to be built on the water veins, he could sense that the position of the giant python coincided with the village.

Catching a villager, Luo Yan asked him to lead the way to the village's well.

When he arrived at the well, Luo Yan found that the well in this village was very strange.

In ancient times, holes were drilled directly and the well walls were built with bricks and stones.

Half of the inner wall of this well is made of glazed bricks, and the other half is made of stone bricks.

The mouth of the well is deep. Looking from above, you can't see the bottom of the well at all. There is not only water in the dark well, but also a faint evil spirit.

Sensing the demonic aura, Luo Yan was basically certain that the demon was hiding in the well.

You can scan with your mental power, but you can always only sense a faint aura of monsters and cannot detect the existence of monsters.

The underground space is very small, only a few square meters. It is somewhat unlikely that a python tens of meters long could be hidden.

"Old man, what's going on with this well?" Luo Yan asked the villager he casually grabbed.

The old man trembled and replied: "This well was built during the Han Dynasty. Legend has it that Wang Mang built it for his hometown..."

Then the old man began to tell a story.

The beginning of the story is similar to what the young official told. It was not raining in his hometown, so Wang Mang made the python fog up.

Wang Mang issued an order to let the well water spread for five miles.

However, his hometown was made of sandy soil and it was impossible to dig a well, which always collapsed. Wang Mang asked a golden toad to spit fire and burn the well walls into colored glaze.

Jin Chan was spitting fire and burning the wall of the well. He was discovered by an old man and shouted loudly, which scared Jin Chan away, leaving the half-burned glass well.

That's why the well in front of you is half glass and half stone.

"So the glass well in front of you is also caused by monsters."

Luo Yan even more suspected that there was a monster in the Liuli Well, but he could never catch the monster's existence.

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and thought of a possibility: "Is there a formation covering the well, or is there a different space?"

Those who have the means to open up space are usually big monsters, true gods, black pythons and golden toads. They probably don't have that ability.

The two monsters most likely relied on the formation to cover their aura.

"It seems I have to go down there myself."

There is no record of formations in the Ruyi treasure book that Luo Yan obtained. When it comes to things outside his knowledge system, there is no good way to crack them. He can only feel the mystery of the formations in person and then find ways to crack them.
