Chapter 498 Pandaria is in a complicated situation
Shado Zen Monastery is built in the Kun-Lai mountains. It has experienced severe wind and snow in the mountains all year round, and needs to be carefully renovated every few years.
Liu He guided Sarlayan and others into the Zen monastery in a personable manner. On the way, he introduced the history of the Zen monastery to the four of them with witty remarks.
"Today's Shado Temple was built more than 250 years ago. The original sect's headquarters was finally overwhelmed by the wind and snow over the years and died."
"Kunlaizi, the leader of the Shado-Pan at that time, made up his mind to move his base. With the strong assistance of the White Tiger Temple, he spent 2 years building this majestic Zen monastery complex."
A look of understanding appeared on Sarlayan's face: "No wonder, I said why I couldn't find the location of the Shado-Pan. It turned out that the sect's headquarters had been relocated."
The information Salayan revealed intentionally or unintentionally made Liu He raise his eyebrows slightly, but he did not ask any more questions on the way. He still maintained a polite attitude and led the group of people into the living room of the Zen Yuan to sit down.
Liu He had already checked and found that the Shado-Pan disciples who fell on the ground were not fatally injured, but were knocked unconscious.
This means that the other party has no ill intentions towards the Shado-Pan, it is just because Zhu Taran presses harder and harder and has no choice but to take action in self-defense, and he always knows how to strike.
Liu He knew Zhu Taran's temper very well. Although the boy was impulsive and irritable, he was definitely not someone who took the initiative to cause trouble.
It would lead Zhu Talan to attack, which shows that these people are not as gentle as they seem on the surface.
Unlike the young and inexperienced Zhu Taran, Liu He, who has been in charge of Shado-Pan for many years, is mature and prudent.
Although he had many doubts about the origins of the four people in front of him, he always kept a calm expression on his face and used the art of language to talk to Valeera, who was in charge of negotiations, with nonsense words such as "this, this, this".
Realizing that it was difficult to get the other party to reveal more information through verbal testing, Liu He put down his tea bowl and brought the topic to the point.
"Please forgive me. The Shado-Pan is responsible for guarding Pandaria, and we have an obligation to eliminate all unsettling factors."
"I have read information about the Eastern Kingdom from records in ancient books? It is said that it is a continent much larger than Pandaria. Why did several of them travel thousands of miles to come to Pandaria, and..."
Liu He's eyes flashed: "With all due respect, why are you and yours able to break through the fog that has shrouded Pandaria all year round? This question is very important to us Pandaren, so please tell me the truth."
Valeera exchanged glances with Sarlayan, and after receiving permission, she told Liu He the origins of herself and others.
But Valeera held back and did not reveal their true purpose for the time being. She only said that they wanted to explore the long-lost continent of Pandaria in the history of Azeroth.
After all, it is essential to be on guard against others.
"Shenzhenzi..."
Liu He subconsciously combed his long beautiful hair with his hands, his eyes flashing with thoughts and memories.
"I have some impression of this name. It seems to be the turtle partner of the great adventurer Liu Lang?"
Liu Lang's deviant behavior was inconsistent with the traditional culture of the Panda people, but his achievements were beyond doubt and left a very deep impression on the Panda people of his generation.
Thanks to the large amount of information Liu Lang brought back from the outside many times, Pandaria, which had been blocked by the fog for thousands of years, had some basic understanding of the outside world.
The Eastern Kingdoms, Pandaria, Northrend, the Broken Isles, and... the feud of the pandaren, the islands where the Zandalari trolls live.
The war between the Pandaren and the Zandalar took place before the Sundering, and there was no contact after that.
The pandaren in Pandaria really didn't know that after the color of the world changed, the Zandalari Islands were still next door to them, very close to them.
If it weren't for the mist of Shaohao's incarnation, those evil neighbors would have invaded Pandaria again sooner or later.
The future direction provided by the barrage also proves that Zandalar has indeed always had this plan.
When Liu Lang went out on his adventure, the Eastern Kingdom was still in a state of separatism.
The Arathor Empire, a unified human country, disintegrated and split into seven city-states.
The high elves still sit at the northernmost tip of the Eastern Kingdom, working hard to restrain the declining Amani trolls, which unintentionally provides an excellent opportunity for the rapid development of human civilization.
Liu Lang's documents recorded his impressions of Quel'Thalas and the high elves. Wealth and arrogance were the two most mentioned features.
Wealth, Liu He did not notice it from the four people in front of him for the time being.
Sharlayan, Valeera, and Stellagosa all wear relatively simple clothes. Although the materials used are exquisite, the styles are very inconspicuous.
The only black-haired woman who likes to wear gold and silver is not a high elf, but a rising star from the Eastern Kingdom. She is a human, and her wealth and arrogance are more obvious in her body.
Liu He has practiced Qi-nurturing Kung Fu very well. He has long passed the stage of being tempted by property and power, and has no interest in Onyxia's expensive accessories.
What he cared about was the key to breaking the fog that Valeera mentioned - Shenzhenzi.
According to Liu Lang's records, Shenzhenzi's tribe lives in the Krasarang Jungle all year round and is not a rare species in the area.
Liu Lang, who is good at discovery, noticed that this group of turtles had a very useful trait.
No matter how far away from home they are, they can always find the beach where they were born.
Unfortunately, this important point was not recorded in the documents left by Liu Lang.
In other words... Liu Lang left a record, but it was deliberately erased by someone who copied the document.
Liu He wanted to find out whether this characteristic of being bound to return home was unique to Shenzhenzi, or whether it could cover an entire ethnic group.
After hundreds of years, the seeds left by Liu Lang's actions in Pandaria finally took root and sprouted.
More and more pandaren trapped in Pandaria are yearning for the vast world outside, but they do not have the same luck and strong observation skills as Liu Lang, and they have never been able to find a way to travel freely to and from the fog.
One's own family knows one's own affairs.
Liu He knew clearly that Pandaria still seemed stable today, but the Golden Lotus, which was in charge of administrative work, and the Shado-Pan, which was in charge of military equipment, had already split into several factions.
As the mantid's reincarnation plan continued in an orderly manner, the farsighted pandaren sensed the danger.
If those Klaxxi heroes continue to accumulate, one day they will form a situation where they are too big to lose, and maybe they can really break through the defense of Panlongji.
The Dragon Spine Great Wall is the most important defense barrier for the pandaren. It was originally built by the mogu to limit the invasion of the mantid in the Dread Wasteland and Mantis Plateau into the hinterland of Pandaria.
When Thor was on the throne, he had considered wiping out the mantids once and for all, but in his opinion, the mantids were nothing more than a scabies disease and could not be compared with seizing the Forge of Origin in terms of priority.
As a result, it disappeared after a short delay, and the willful God of Thunder played himself to death.
Considering the Mantid's increasing strength year after year, some people within the Golden Lotus and Shado-Pan believe that Shaohao's order should be abolished, the sealed Valley of Eternal Blossoms should be reopened, and the resources of the Valley of Eternal Blossoms should be used to strengthen themselves.
Where there is support, there will naturally be opposition. The faction that insists on continuing is huge in number and still firmly controls the right to speak.
In addition to the factions that advocate opening the Vale of Eternal Blossoms, there are also some people who propose to open Pandaria completely in one step and allow the pandaren to reintegrate into the big family of Azeroth.
It is no surprise that these people's suggestions were scolded.
The pandas have long known from Liu Lang's records that the Zandalar Islands are not far northeast of Pandaria.
Dealing with the Mantids alone is frustrating enough, but if a Zandalari troll is added to the mix, it's impossible for Pandaria's native pandaren to defend it.
And there's bad news for the pandas.
The mogu who had turned themselves into stone statues are gradually awakening.
Compared with Zandalari, the resurgence of the mogu, who once enslaved the pandaren, is a real big issue worthy of vigilance.
The original war in which all races united to overthrow the slave owners did deal a huge and indelible blow to the Mogu Empire, but the Mogu people did not die out.
This group of titan creations knew that their time had passed, and many of them chose to seal themselves and turned into stone statues to sleep in the many titan underground palaces in Pandaria.
Once the rule of the pandaren gradually weakens, the mogu who stay in the outside world will awaken their sleeping compatriots and regain the dominance of Pandaria that originally belonged to the mogu.
Apparently, some of the mogu who stayed behind believed that the time was coming. The pandaren, who were busy dealing with the mantid, gradually became unable to cope with the mantid, and their vigilance against the mogu was not as tight as before.
To paraphrase a great man’s message from Danmu.
There are no factions in the party, and there are all kinds of strange things.
Both the Golden Lotus and the Shado-Pan have many factions with different opinions.
Because of the gentle nature of the pandaren, these factions manage their differences well, but only for now.
Once this relatively peaceful status quo changes due to the intervention of external factors, the consequences of these changes cannot be borne by Liu He alone.
"Um……"
Liu He frowned and thought for a while: "Four distinguished guests, the Shado-Pan cannot give you permission to move freely in Pandaria. They still need to convince the Golden Lotus."
"There are many members of the Golden Lotus who are strict and conservative. If they know that outsiders have entered Pandaria... I'm afraid the situation will not be very optimistic."
"I suggest that you go to the White Tiger Temple first and obtain the approval of the White Tiger Blood Fury, one of the four gods."
"With the permission of the Supreme God, even if some people in the Golden Lotus Sect are unwilling, they cannot come up with a suitable excuse to refute."
