Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 1150 246. Look at your weak and sullen appearance, you should be Zhou Zhuo, right?

   The noisy night passed quickly.

  When the morning light came, Qinglong Temple had restored its former tranquility. Of course, the traces of the war were still there. The most conspicuous ones were the demon corpses in front of the temple gate and scattered all over the foothills.

   In fact, after careful inventory, we can see that not many demons really entered the material world last night. This is because the monks of Qinglong Temple took very decisive measures.

  Before the demons' front was fully unfolded, he called Yulong Tianzun to join the battlefield strongly, and destroyed the portal through which the demons entered the material world with a destructive attitude.

   As it turns out, this tactic is absolutely correct.

  It effectively avoided the casualties of the Qinglong monks. Under the circumstance that the Yulong Tianzun, who is in charge of benevolence, kindness and wisdom, is in charge of himself, no matter how serious the injury is, it will not endanger his life.

   But although no one died, the damage to the monks was still not small.

   Almost all the monks and warriors who retreated from the battlefield were injured, but the sense of mission of defeating the brutal demon and defending the Holy Land made Yuanjuan very excited.

   They even discussed a grand banquet to celebrate the victory.

   This is also the "civilization characteristic" of pandaren.

  Whatever they encounter, they will try their best to hold a banquet, and then get drunk with their friends and companions, and share the joy or pain with their compatriots.

The    banquet culture is a very important part of the pandaren civilization.

   Of course, there are also bad points, such as the "wine table culture" of the panda people. For people who don't like or don't know how to drink, it's a terrible torture.

Participating in a pandaren banquet is a good thing, but as long as you take the initiative to raise a glass of wine once during the banquet, the result waiting for you is to be drunk with enthusiasm, and you will be unconscious until you open your eyes with a splitting headache the next morning. .

   These black-and-white enthusiastic guys are all heroes of alcoholics, and even the gentle pandaren women are famous for drinking.

   Of course, before the banquet was held in the name of victory, everyone at Qinglong Temple had more important things to do.

   For example, to clean up the corpses of demons to purify them so as not to pollute the land of the Jade Forest, or to find out the mastermind behind this demonic invasion.

"Snapped"

After a sumptuous breakfast, a package was placed on the table in front of the lorewalker Shi Bu and the Jinyu prophet Mali. The female warrior monk Liu Yanxin, who was still wearing bandages on his face and arms, had an ugly expression on his face. said to his companions:

   "I entrusted the old hunters who came to help from Podong Village to search the mountains and forests, and they found these things, which are evil things we have never seen before.

   I heard the wailing of what seemed to be a mutilated soul. "

   The well-informed Lorewalker opened the small bag in front of him, picked up an irregular soul stone from it and looked at it in front of him. The purple crystal-like thing emanated a very uncomfortable aura.

   The Jinyu Prophet next to him touched his beautiful fish whiskers and waited for his big eyes to carefully observe the soul stone. After a few seconds, he said:

   "This is very similar to some magic materials used by the mogu casters in our ancient Jinyu records. If I remember correctly, this should be a stone specially used to store souls.

   It will be used in many evil rituals.

   It is well known that the souls of creatures are often attractive to evil things.

   The reason why the demons attacked Qinglong Temple so fiercely and resolutely last night was probably because they were lured by these soul stones, like .

   Meat bait sprinkled during hunting. "

   "But the mogu people of the Jade Forest are all concentrated in the ancient ruins in the north. It is impossible for them to overcome the obstruction of Tianchanyuan and come to Qinglong Temple to make trouble."

  Liu Yanxin shook her head and looked at Lorewalker Shibu again. She asked:

   "Elder Shibu, besides the mogu people in the Jade Forest, are there other people who use such evil spells?"

"there is none left."

  The old pandaren Shibu thought about it and said:

   "There is an elderly widow in the Jade Forest, and it is said that she will use witchcraft to punish those who disturb her life, but even she will not touch the souls of others.

   This is an unforgivable sin in our pandaren culture.

  The Jinyu people have always hated the power of darkness, and they would not take the initiative to learn such spells, not to mention the hozens, those stubborn ones have no talent for spellcasting.

   Forest spirits.

   is also unlikely, those guys who are less courageous than hozen only play pranks, and rarely hurt people, let alone have something to do with evil existences like demons. "

   Having said this, the three fell silent at the same time.

   Liu Yanxin looked left and right, lowered her voice and said:

   "So, those outsiders?"

   "Well, very likely."

  Shibu nodded, shook his head again, and said:

   "But it's certainly not the navy soldiers from Kul Tiras that were housed in Qinglong Temple. They helped us fight the demons together last night, and their dislike of demons is not false.

   And they have been living in Qinglong Temple for the past two months without going out. They have neither opportunity, nor power, and no reason to arrange all this.

   should have slipped through the net.

   Or, there is a newcomer from outside the fog.

   By the way, Ms. Liu, why did the demon leader who Tianzun suppressed last night escape unexpectedly? Didn't Tianzun express any opinion on this matter? "

   "Heavenly Venerable is already preparing for her reincarnation in this life, and her strength has weakened. After the battle last night, she went back to the temple to rest and closed the temple door as usual."

   Liu Yanxin sighed and said with a worried face:

   "Tianzun doesn't seem to care about this, but just reminds us to be vigilant.

  I have communicated privately with colleagues at White Tiger Temple, Zhuhe Temple, and Niuzao Temple, and it seems that after the first group of outsiders entered Pandaria, the Four Heavenly Gods fell into collective silence.

   The gods should be thinking about the fate of this continent.

   They haven't given any revelation yet. I think it's because of the follow-up caused by the large-scale fog shock event nearly two years ago. "

"yes."

  The Jinyu prophet, who was naturally good at prophecy, also sighed when he heard Liu Yanxin's words. He stroked his fish whiskers, and the solemn expression of the fish showed a serious expression.

He says:

   "Since the fog shock caused visions all over Pandaria, all the elders of our Jinyu people have used their own methods to make prophecies in various holy places in history.

  The future that the currents give us to watch is blurry, full of possible war, death and destruction, which reminds me of ancient legends from 10,000 years ago.

   The last emperor of this continent, His Majesty the great Shaohao, also embarked on a journey of salvation when we Jinyu people predicted that the end would come.

   That time our emperor sacrificed himself to save our land and life, this time if the end comes again, we will have no one to rely on.

  We can only use our own strength and will to get through it, or die in the fire of the end.

The mass arrival of    outsiders is a revelation.

  Perhaps the 10,000 years of peace in Pandaria will soon come to an end. The Golden Lotus, Lorewalkers and Shado-Pan have all taken action, and even the black-clothed guards stationed at Panlongji are recruiting new recruits.

   Alas, an eventful time. "

   While the three temple elders were discussing issues, a pandaren monk suddenly walked in and reported to Liu Yanxin:

   "Chief priest, we caught a group of hozens on the edge of the forest. They slipped into Qinglong Temple last night to steal food and supplies while taking advantage of the chaos of the demon attack. The armory was destroyed by them.

   We interrogated and the hozens admitted they were responsible for the demonic invasion last night! "

"Um?"

   This bizarre truth made the three elders widen their eyes in unison, and each other's eyes were unbelievable.

   As far as the chaotic brain and funny character of the hozen are concerned, can they summon such a large-scale demon invasion?

   The monk who came to report the letter probably also realized the problem in his words, so he scratched his head and quickly explained:

"I mean, the hozens said they summoned the demons under the leadership of a 'bad boss' who told them to sprinkle purple stones all over the mountains, and he himself was responsible for turning on the demons door.

   The hozens we caught were the most stubborn guys who were unwilling to obey the bad boss's orders to retreat. The hozens who really obeyed the orders ran to the southwest under the leadership of a hozen named Kenken before the battle was over.

   It is estimated that he has already hid in the mountains, and it is difficult to hunt him down. "

"Hozens are good at activities in the mountains and forests, and now they have the education of wicked people, it will only be more difficult to deal with. There are many mountains in the Jade Forest, and now they have fled into the mountains, even if the dragon knights patrol every day, it is difficult to catch them. trace."

   Lorewalker Shi Bu frowned and said:

   "And those hozens stole the spare weapons and armor in the temple, which made them much more dangerous. I now suspect that the 'bad boss' of the hozens is probably still somewhere in the Jade Forest.

   Our friend Zhou Zhuo helped us see through his plot last night, but the 'bad boss' may be planning more dangerous things, we must find him immediately!

   But the Qinglong monk cannot leave easily to guard the holy place.

  This matter, I think, has to be done by real professionals. "

   Chief Priest Liu Yanxin nodded. Elder Shibu was right. To be able to single-handedly create such a large array of demonic invasions last night is obviously no ordinary villain.

   Qinglong Warrior Monk is brave, but he is not professional in pursuit, so he still has to let more powerful people come.

   "I will send a message to the Shado-Pan Temple, and ask Taran Zhu, the head of the Shado-Pan sect, to send the most powerful trackers."

   The chief priest clenched her furry claws, she wagged her fox-like tail, and her cute panda face showed a cold and intimidating expression.

   She stopped the soul stones scattered on the table and said in a deep voice:

   "Whatever it takes! Must catch this abominable 'bad boss'!"

—

   "Oops, this Pandaria is about to change."

On the way home from Qinglong Temple, Lorewalker Zhou Zhuo thought of last night's demon battle. His feet were a little weak, and he sighed while he collected the outside information he had collected from those Kul Tiras sailors. Take it out and look at it.

   He is an old Lorewalker.

   is also the most orthodox lorewalker, only interested in novelties and various stories and the wisdom that can be learned from them.

   Unlike Elder Shibu, who read books for wisdom and Wuneng clenched his fists to open his brain, Lorewalker Zhou Zhuo is a typical pandaren "literate scholar". He knows nothing about guns, sticks and swords, but he is very knowledgeable.

   He can also play the piano well and write well. He has lived in the Jade Forest for generations, but he has a family background that travels the world.

   Of course, the "world" in the eyes of the pandaren refers to the continent of Pandaria.

  This place has been blocked by fog for 10,000 years, and they can't go anywhere else if they want.

   But even this land alone can bring a lot of wisdom to the Lorewalkers, but no matter how good the place is, it will be boring to stay for 10,000 years. Therefore, a Lorewalker like Zhou Zhuo is also very interested in the outside world.

   They have tried many methods, including looking for the old fishermen of the fisherman to take a boat, looking for the mysterious Jinyu sage to use teleportation magic, etc., trying to leave the foggy continent, but they were unsuccessful.

  The seal left by Emperor Shaohao is too strong, and it is not something that ordinary people can pass through.

   This is disappointing.

After an outsider entered the Mist Continent not long ago, Zhou Zhuo, who received the news, immediately ended his long journey in the Townlong Plateau with excitement, rushed back to the Jade Forest as fast as possible, and ran to Qinglong Temple to borrow the help of the same agent. Due to the relationship of the Lorewalker, he got a temporary errand under the leadership of Elder Shibu, so that he could get in touch with people from "outside".

   Zhou Zhuo is not the only one who has done the same thing. At least a dozen lorewalkers are now gathered in Qinglong Temple, but Zhou Zhuo is the one with the fastest legs.

   He has collected a lot of information and is preparing to go back to his home and sort it out.

Lorewalkers are really amazing. They learned the pronunciation and writing of human language in a very short period of time. Zhou Zhuo, who was walking on the mountain road, watched the story recorded in the text and fantasized about the human being. What should the country look like?

It is said that human beings established an empire from a great man named Thoradin who defeated the tyrannical trolls, and then became divided into seven, and they fought each other endlessly until seven or eight years ago when they encountered the barbaric orcs who broke into another world and fought a whole In seven years of battle, hundreds of thousands of warriors were killed and wounded before the orcs were defeated.

  Tsk tsk, this kind of large-scale war for the pandaren is almost the same as the mythical story of their rebellion against the Mogu Empire more than 10,000 years ago.

   Hundreds of thousands of people died tragically.

   Zhou Zhuo pursed his lips.

   He couldn't imagine that kind of cruel picture, but he always felt very uncomfortable. Why did he want to fight?

   If you have any conflict, just sit and eat, drink and talk about the conflict, wouldn't it be good?

   Just thinking about it, the purple-red little Xianglong Mi Shi floating next to Zhou Zhuo suddenly screamed, awakening the Lorewalker, and he looked up.

  yo, is there someone lying under the road beside the road ahead? It looked like he was sleeping, wearing a strange mask, and there were several empty wine bottles beside him.

   Who is this, so immoral!

   Pandaren Lorewalker with good character was about to step forward to scold him, but his eyes narrowed suddenly, this guy has no hair on his body!

  This is an outsider!

   Good guy!

   Caught a big fish!

   He immediately thought of the words that Elder Shibu had told him when he left the temple just now, saying that the hozen had a bad boss and was suspected of being an outsider. It was he who caused the demon's invasion last night.

  Should not.

   Is this guy in front of you?

   Zhou Zhuo's heart began to thump, he tried his best to lighten his steps, and stepped back little by little, without disturbing the guy sleeping under the tree. After retreating a dozen steps, he turned around and ran towards Qinglong Temple.

   while running and calling:

   "Master Mi! Master Mi, hurry up and report!"

   The purple-red little Xianglong beside him responded, spinning like a flexible snake and was about to rush out, but in the next instant, a whistling shadow flew up and turned into a cage to trap the Xianglong in place.

   A figure flipped out and kicked the legs of Zhou Zhuo who was running.

With a    thud, the pandaren Lorewalker, who had no strength to tie the chicken, was kicked to the ground, and the scrolls in his hands were scattered. He didn't care about his broken wrists and knees, and reached out to put back the paper he recorded.

   As soon as he looked up, he saw the guy with the mask squatting in front of him.

  Black reached out and took off the mask on his face, tossed his long blond hair, and smiled at the familiar pandaren in front of him. He said:

   "Oh, we meet again, dear Lord Zhou Zhuo, don't you invite me to sit in the Huangliang Pavilion? I have nowhere to go now."

   He stretched out his hand again, picked up the scattered papers in front of him, looked at it, and said with a sneer:

   "You remember what story it is! It's all hearsay! It's just groundless, and if you tell it again, it means that you are also responsible.

   Don't listen to the nonsense of the navy, how could there be so many people participating in the Battle of the Burning Steppes?

   I am a real witness, and Orgrim was not killed by Daelin himself, and these Kul Tirans will put gold on their admirals' faces.

  Bah, shameless. "

  Black looked contemptuous, but Zhou Zhuo would be full of fear.

  It's over, it's over!

  I saw the face of this "bad boss" myself, and I was about to be silenced!

Isn't that what    is all about?
