Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 1153 249. Safe Pandaria Reminders, Fire Prevention, Thieves and Pirates

"Who, came here to disturb people's peace in the morning? Don't you all need to sleep?"

The door of Huangliang Pavilion hidden in the bamboo forest opened, and Zhou Zhuo, who was yawning and disheveled, complained and rubbed his eyes, looking at several visitors outside the door.

The red and black hat with the double-wing logo came into view, which surprised the lorewalker.

this.

Isn't this the classic Shado-Pan outfit?

What are these guys guarding the north doing here?

Zhou Zhuo's heart began to pound wildly. Although the Huangliang Pavilion was as warm as spring, he felt his hands and feet were cold, and immediately suspected that his "harboring a repeat offender" had happened.

He thought these Shado-Pan hunks were out to get him.

But he didn't see anything like handcuffs and shackles on the black-clothed soldiers in front of him, which made Zhou Zhuo calm down quickly, and his years of studying abroad gave him a very stable mind.

Of course, the more important thing is that Zhou Zhuo must calm down!

Because, he heard Bu Laike whispering in his ear:

"Fudge them away and send them away. As long as you don't talk nonsense, they won't be able to find me. You don't want Huangliang Pavilion to be destroyed by an unexpected demon invasion, do you? Old Zhou.

I've promised that I'll leave the Jade Forest in just a few days.

I will not hurt anyone and will never come back. "

"cough cough"

Zhou Zhuo blinked his eyes, turned his back and straightened his bad face and clothes, then turned around to cheer up, and made a "please" gesture to the Shado-Pan guards outside the door.

Say:

"I'm a bit messy here, don't worry about it, Lorewalker's home is always full of all kinds of useless things. Come on, everyone, let me make a pot of tea for you first, let's talk slowly."

Several members of the Shado-Pan did not refuse.

They were indifferent but not disrespectful. They performed the etiquette of monks to Zhou Zhuo, and then walked into the Huangliang Pavilion in silence under the leadership of the master here. Around the large courtyard, every inch of detail has been spared.

Normally, as the official law enforcement organization of Pandaria, the Shado-Pan will not always be so "polite" when doing things, mainly because Zhou Zhuo is also an "official member" of the pandaren civilization.

Ten thousand years ago, after Shaohao, the last emperor of the Pandaren, sacrificed himself, the Gun Guns broke away from the imperial system and there was no nominal unified leader.

However, the ruling team left by Emperor Shaohao is still there. After a period of running-in and adjustments, they gradually differentiated into the "separation of powers" of the pandaren civilization.

The original civil servant group was transformed into the "Golden Lotus Sect" that practiced enlightenment within Pandaria and was in charge of major domestic and foreign affairs.

The military system that Emperor Shaohao personally selected and set up in the process of eradicating the Shamo continues to operate in the pandaren land in the name of "Shado-Pan", maintaining law and order and dealing with threats.

Zhou Zhuo's "tourist" is a third party under Wenzhiwugong.

Their positioning is more like the "Wind Watchers" who assist the Golden Lotus Sect and the Shado-Pan Sect.

Because lorewalkers are either traveling around or are on the road of travel, they can come into contact with small events in various places and summarize them, and then share them with civil servants and warriors through the efficient information transmission within the lorewalkers.

Therefore, in addition to being a group of outstanding explorers, the Lorewalkers also serve as the pandaren's intelligence agency.

When encountering major events, the leaders of the Golden Lotus, the Shado-Pan, and the Lorewalkers will gather together to discuss and make decisions, and the temples of the supreme gods located in the four corners of Pandaria are the stable outer ring of this ruling system.

Although the Four Heavenly Gods did not belong to the pandaren civilization system at the beginning.

But they have a deep connection with the pandaren, and are worshiped by Gun Gun as a holy beast. After living together for more than 10,000 years, the gods have also become an important part of the pandaren society.

After 10,000 years of good operation, this system is still quite stable.

And the Shado-Pan, the legendary legendary warriors of the Pandaren, walked in the shadow of Pandaria to fulfill their sacred mission. It is impossible for them to pay attention to ordinary petty theft. That is the link that the Golden Lotus Sect and monk organizations around the world are responsible for.

They wouldn't be dispatched if there was no major event, just like Lorewalker Zhou Zhuo would feel frightened when he saw the Shado-Pan people suddenly appearing, it would not be a good thing to be found by them one day.

In the pavilion of Huangliang Pavilion, Zhou Zhuo smiled and brought the tools for making tea. He sat beside a few silent and restrained Shado-Pan warriors with great grace, poured the good tea leaves he had treasured into the purple sand pot, and lit it again. The small stove is poured with carefully collected mountain spring water.

Soon, the fragrance of tea spread.

Lao Zhou rubbed his aching eyes from reading a book last night, and said to the leader of several Shado-Pan warriors in front of him, a thinner Pandaren monk:

"The last time we met was a few years ago, right? Your Excellency Tengwu, I still remember that when a few of my companions and I were attacked by the buffalo on the Mantis Plateau, it was you who suddenly appeared and rescued us.

I also learned from a letter from afar that you were personally awarded the title of 'Red Smoke' by Zhu Taran last year. It seems that you will soon become the new master of the Shado-Pan Sect. "

"I just passed the second trial."

The thinner pandaren monk shook his head. He and Zhou Zhuo seemed to be old acquaintances, and said with a modest smile:

"As for the encounter on the Mantis Plateau, I didn't save you. At that time, I failed the trial, my mentality collapsed, and I deviated from the way of Shado-Pan and almost fell into the myth of killing.

It was you and the other Lorewalkers who helped me regain my spirit, and I haven't officially thanked you yet.

However, today's business is really important, so we will talk about these personal friendships later. "

"Red Smoke" Teng Wu took off his hat and face scarf. The pandaren with scars under his eyes looked at Zhou Zhuo with a serious expression. He said in a deep voice:

"We came to the Emerald Forest to investigate the evil energy invasion of Qinglong Temple under the order of Master 'Hawkeye' Ni Rong, and tortured the captured hozen, and learned from them the mysterious alien code-named 'Bad Boss' According to the news of the reporter, some unusual traces were found at the foot of the mountain.

We followed the trace all the way and found that it stopped in front of Huangliang Pavilion.

Your Excellency Zhou Zhuo, we suspect that the 'bad boss' is hiding nearby, and we need your help. "

"Ok?"

Zhou Zhuo suddenly "turned pale with fright" and even accidentally knocked over the tea bowl. He looked around and shivered for a while, showing the hurried posture of a literati when he was in danger.

He said to Teng Wu who had been watching him:

"Of course, I will help you.

I was there the night Qinglong Temple was attacked by demons. I was terrified, but I accidentally discovered that there might be something inside the matter, so I expressed my worries to my companion, Elder Shibu.

Maybe it was because of this that I was targeted by that bad guy. "

"Well, I also heard about it from Elder Shibu, and that's why we're here."

Teng Wu waved his paws steadily, and said to Zhou Zhuo:

"Then, excuse me, my subordinates want to search Huangliang Pavilion."

"You can do whatever you want."

Zhou Zhuo was a little worried, but he still took out a bunch of keys from his waist, handed them to Teng Wu, and said:

"This is the key to the courtyard cellar, wine cellar, study, and piano room. You can do what you want, and I will never interfere, but please be careful when flipping through the books in my collection. There are many orphan books collected by me and my father."

"It's natural."

Teng Wu handed the key to several monks beside him, but he didn't move it himself.

Let the subordinates spread out to search for traces throughout Huangliang Pavilion. Zhou Zhuo watched them walking back and forth, blinking his eyes while drinking tea, he didn't know where Bu Laike was hiding, and he was also very afraid that the stinky pirate would be discovered by the Shado-Pan masters in the next moment.

"Hey, what do you think of me?"

Bu Laike seemed to feel Zhou Zhuo's worry, he didn't know where he was hiding and said to Zhou Zhuo in a low voice:

"The Shado-Pan faction is indeed amazing, and they sent legendary monks to investigate casually. I suspect that there are already Shado-Pan walkers around the Jade Forest.

These guys from the Shado-Pan Enlightenment faction really acted vigorously and resolutely.

But if that's the case, they still don't want to find me, so don't worry, Lao Zhou, continue to chat and laugh with Your Excellency 'Chi Yan', and don't pay attention to me. "

The stinky pirate's haunting voice faded away from Zhou Zhuo's ears, making Lorewalker feel a little more relaxed, but he also thought that, as a pandaren born and bred in Pandaria, his current behavior seemed to be betraying his own people.

Perhaps, he should reveal Laike's whereabouts to Teng Wu right now?

But the problem is, he doesn't know where Laike is hiding.

Moreover, with the cruelty shown by the pirate before, once he jumped back on the spot, he might not be able to protect himself with Tengwu's force.

There is a saying in Pandaria: A gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall.

Well, I'd better stabilize my own safety first, and then look at the situation later, and I read the autobiography of His Royal Highness Little Xingxing at night last night, and I also got some insights.

Even if only one-tenth of those stories are true, then Bo Laike Shaw is not a complete villain. He is really bad! Bad means.

But what he did basically had a good result in the end.

If you think about it from this point of view, Laike's actions in Pandaria are probably also for a goal that can't be said to be noble, but not bad.

As a member of Lorewalker, Zhou Zhuo knows many secrets that ordinary pandaren don't know, such as the dark power hidden under this land.

He doesn't know much.

But just knowing that is enough to give pandaren lorewalkers nightmares every night.

The Shado-Pan guards acted very efficiently, and they finished the search quickly. They came to report to Teng Wu with their eyes and gestures. The Red Smoke Monk drank a few sips of tea, exchanged a few words with Zhou Zhuo, and put The key was given to him.

"There's no problem here."

Teng Wu put on his bamboo hat and mask, stood up and bid farewell to Zhou Zhuo, saying:

"We have to go to Podong Village again. It is said that the villagers there have seen the 'Bad Boss' lead the hozens away from the forest where they are entrenched.

Perhaps there, we can find more valuable information.

But Your Excellency Zhou Zhuo, as a witness to the demon invasion, it is not safe for you, a powerless traveler, to stay here alone. Do you want me to summon my companions to protect you? "

"Uh, there's no need for this."

Zhou Zhuo waved his paws, he showed a sincere and expectant smile, and said:

"I'm just staying at home for a few days, and I will go to Qinglong Temple to perform duties in a few days. You know, there are many outsiders there, and I am a traveler who is very interested in all strange things.

I'm also planning to compile a set of tomes describing Beyond the Mists, they're a great source of information. "

"Well, are you going to Qinglong Temple?"

Chiyan Tengwu nodded, and the thin pandaren said sincerely:

"It's really safe there, maybe you should start tonight.

Alright, I, a vulgar martial artist, will not disturb you to continue your studies. This message firework is placed here with you, and you can blow it if there is any situation. "

Teng Wu stuffed a delicate bamboo tube of fireworks into Zhou Zhuo's hands, and said goodbye to him in a friendly way, thanking him for the good tea, and left the secluded bamboo grove just like when he came here.

The moment the gate of Huangliang Pavilion was closed, Zhou Zhuo let out a long breath and almost collapsed in front of the door, the back of his gown was almost soaked in sweat.

He really didn't want to have this bad feeling again.

"Hey, you are a lorewalker after all, can you behave decently? Don't you panda people emphasize the state of mind of 'before the landslide, without changing your face'?"

Like a ghost, Bu Laike appeared in front of Zhou Zhuo in broad daylight. He stretched out his hand to the pandaren lying on the ground, and was slapped away by Zhou Zhuo's furious paw.

"That's the heart of a monk to learn martial arts. A literati like me can't do it."

Lao Zhou got up and said to the smelly pirate in a bad tone:

"I did it this time, but I can't hide it next time. You ate and drank with me. When are you leaving?"

"Ok?"

Bu Laike widened his eyes in surprise and said:

"Why are you driving people away? You bastard, I've never heard of a pandaren who would drive guests out of the house. Besides, I'm gone, who will protect my 'partner in crime'?"

The pirate approached Zhou Zhuo and whispered:

"You don't really think that your poor performance can fool the masters of the Shado-Pan pie, do you? Let me ask you, did you wash the dishes after we finished eating last night?

Do you live here alone and need eight plates for a meal? "

Zhou Zhuo suddenly turned his head to look at the kitchen, with a frightened expression on his face.

Bu Laike grinned, patted Zhou Zhuo on the shoulder, and said:

"Go and pack your things, you can't stay here anymore, in my estimation, there will be shadow-pan masters surrounding you soon, but don't worry, I will take you out safely.

but

You will have to walk with me to the dark from now on. "

"You deliberately!"

Old Zhou pushed Laike away and cursed:

"You framed me! You bastard!"

"No no no, I won't frame my old friend."

Bu Laike said with a drawn out voice:

"I'm just giving you a reason to convince yourself that you're already tired of this picturesque Pandaria that lacks change, right? You don't want to go outside the mist to see the scenery described in Little Star's book, those Characters, those things? Don't you want to be part of those beautiful and magnificent stories?

You see, Lao Zhou, you have been absent from the first half of my story, so you can't just let go of the second half, right?

If you don't have this kind of thinking, it can only mean that you are not a qualified traveler.

By the way, speaking of this, can you get me a membership certificate for Lorewalkers? In exchange, I can recommend you to join the Dwarf Explorers' Association.

But you have to promise me that you must control your hands when exploring the ruins in the future, or I will cut it off for you! "

——

On the other side of the big swamp in Huangliang Pavilion, "Red Smoke" Tengwu looked at the bamboo forest with a complicated look. He sighed, turned his head and said to his companions behind him:

"This outsider is very dangerous, and has bewitched Lorewalker Zhou Zhuo to help him do evil. My perception is completely unaware of his existence. If Tao Shi hadn't observed carefully, we might have missed his trace.

This is no longer an opponent we can deal with.

Send a message to the Shado-Pan Monastery, please Zhu Taran head or Master Xueliu, Master Eagle Eye to come and arrest him in person. "

The pandaren behind nodded, took a few steps back and whistled to summon a gray-feathered eagle with divine horse, tied a strip of paper to its claws and let it fly into the air.

While everyone was hiding nearby to observe the enemy's situation, Teng Wu exhorted a petite female pandaren:

"Tao Shi, you are the best shadow fighter among us, you have to sneak into the Huangliang Pavilion to observe them closely, you must be very careful!"

"Ok."

The female pandaren nodded, and then dissipated into black smoke. This skill of stealth and stealth is already the best in the legend, which shows the strength of the Shado-Pan faction.

These Gunners are really not to be underestimated.

But the problem is, a shadow warrior who has just entered the legend wants to guard the famous legendary pirate. These things are a bit too small to underestimate Mr. Bu Laike, right?
