"Let's go, Old Chen."
After calling back Old Chen, Galen and the others set off again.
At this moment, five days had passed since Aulelia and Sylvanas left, and the time Galen had agreed with them was ten days.
With five days left, he planned to spend them in the bustling Morning Blossom Garden.
After watching Galen and the others leave, Zhu Talan rode his flying dragon partner again and headed towards the Jade Serpent Temple!
"Old Chen, what is Zhu Talan's strength?"
On the ox cart, Galen began to inquire about Old Chen.
The monk profession is very technical, and it uses the energy of true qi.
Galen didn't have much contact with it, so even as a demigod, it was difficult for him to judge Zhu Talan's strength through the strength of his energy.
"Very strong!"
Old Chen was concise, but Galen understood.
Old Chen can basically be said to be the strongest brewmaster among the existing monks in Azeroth.
If he said so, then Zhu Talan should be at the mid-level of legend like Old Chen.
"According to rumors I heard from visiting the Shado-Pan Monastery, Headmaster Zhu should be the strongest martial force in all of Pandaria.
He reached the level of Grandmaster Monk a few years ago, and it is said that he is proficient in almost all schools of martial arts."
Zhou Zhuo also said some of the rumors he knew at this time.
"No,"
Old Chen thought for a while and continued: "He may have practiced martial arts from other schools, but I can feel that he is a monk who mainly cultivates the Windwalker way.
His attack power is extremely strong!"
"Then Uncle Chen, can you beat that bad panda?"
Lili had been appeasing her cloud serpent just now.
After the little guy fell asleep in her arms, she had time to listen to the adults' chat.
"Haha, it's hard to say.
I should be on par with him.
He may have even stronger attack moves that he hasn't used, but I also have the secret skills passed down from the Stormstout family."
The Stormstout family started by brewing wine.
After the family grew and had its own brewery, it also needed some force to protect the family's property, and what they were best at was the Brewmaster way of the monk.
The Brewmaster is different from the Windwalker monk who actively attacks.
They are better at defensive counterattacks.
With a sip of old wine, the ability to resist blows increases rapidly, and then the drunken fist combat skills are used, and no one loves it.
Lili made a cheering gesture towards Old Chen's back, encouraging him: "Uncle Chen, you must win.
You are the most outstanding monk of the Five Dawn Temple in a hundred years.
You will definitely defeat that bad panda and make our Five Dawn Temple famous in Pandaria!"
"That's for sure.
The inheritance of the Five Dawn Temple is no worse than the Zen temples of Pandaria.
A few days ago, I competed with Liu Yanxin, and at least the monks of the Jade Serpent Temple can't beat me!"
This guy, took advantage of the children listening to stories to find a girl to compete with, really seizing every minute…
"Chen, perhaps you need a powerful weapon."
Galen hinted.
"Highlord, I know you have a lot of artifacts, but thank you for your kindness.
We monks are not used to your human weapons, they are too bulky!"
Monks' battles pay more attention to skills.
Their bodies look round, but they are actually very agile, which leads them to dislike using bulky weapons.
Lightweight long staffs are their first choice.
This is actually a historical reason.
When the Mogu enslaved the pandaren, they realized that this race had great potential, so the Mogu stipulated that pandaren slaves must not hold any weapons.
But there are always more solutions than difficulties.
The pandaren have been secretly training in order to resist the dark rule of the Mogu.
The first pandaren monks often used farm tools or simple bamboo staffs to practice and strengthen their unarmed attacks.
Later battles also proved that this method was practical and effective.
Because the Mogu warriors are tall, the weapons they favor are more deterrent than practical, such as large and bulky war hammers and maces that are difficult to wield.
This instead allowed the pandaren monks to gain the upper hand.
They developed the agility to strike quickly and move quickly on the battlefield, specializing in restraining the large and slow-moving Mogu.
Over the past ten thousand years, the pandaren's combat style has undergone earth-shattering changes, integrating various skills, weapons, and moves, but the core foundation of its combat skills has never been shaken.
"Don't rush to refuse, Old Chen, listen to the origin of the weapon I'm talking about first."
Galen chuckled.
The more readily you refuse now, the more you will find yourself being hypocritical later.
"Zhou Zhuo, maybe you've heard of it.
Legend has it that a legendary long staff was once held in the hands of a hozen.
It was made from a branch of a sacred tree in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms."
"Is the Highlord talking about the Monkey King and his weapon, Fu Zan, the Companion?"
Once it comes to stories, items, and people that happened in Pandaria, Zhou Zhuo's brain is like a search engine, quickly giving the answer.
"That is the legendary hozen of Pandaria.
He is a good friend of Shao Hao and accompanied the pandaren emperor throughout the Pandaria region, sealing six sha."
"Even after more than ten thousand years, his story is still circulating among the pandaren."
"Story? Ah! Uncle Zhou Zhuo has a story again!"
Legolas and Arathor seemed to have a switch turned on when they heard a keyword, and they began to chatter and ask Zhou Zhuo to tell a story.
Galen noticed that Old Chen, who was sitting in front operating the ox cart, had perked up his round ears, obviously aroused by curiosity.
I knew it, no warrior can refuse divine weapons, even if he is good at unarmed combat, Galen can give him a pair of divine gauntlets!
"Zhou Zhuo, there is still half a day's journey to the Morning Blossom Garden, why don't you tell the children the story of the Monkey King?"
Zhou Zhuo was no longer surprised by Galen's magical abilities.
It's just that he knows more secrets than the Lorewalker, what's the big deal!
"Children, are you ready? Next, I will tell the legendary story of the King of Hozen, the Monkey King!"
"Ready!"
With Zhou Zhuo telling the story on his behalf, Galen was also relieved, after all, he was not good at telling stories.
Actually, when Galen first heard the name Monkey King, he thought it was Brother Monkey who had traveled through time, but after understanding it, he found that he was just a smarter hozen.
Regarding his intelligence, it can be said from the way he unified the hozen.
The Monkey King first announced to the ordinary hozen of the hozen tribe: "I, the Monkey King, the leader of your tribe, fully support me in becoming the king of all hozen!"
Even if those ordinary hozen had doubts, no hozen wanted to find the tribe leader to confront him, because they were unwilling to have disputes with the tribe leader because of their own doubts, so they all admitted: "You are the Monkey King, the king of the hozen."
When the name "Monkey King" reached the ears of the tribe leaders, all the members of the tribes were already used to calling him "Monkey King."
The hozen tribe leaders also felt very strange about this, but they were unwilling to conflict with their monkeys, so they took the opportunity to recognize the status of "Monkey King."
The Monkey King's big lie finally came true, because no hozen dared to doubt his words.
In this way, he became the leader of all the hozen in the Pandaria region.
He did not let any hozen shed a drop of blood, and ascended to the pinnacle of power, and he was loved by all the hozen tribes.
Coincidentally, Yu'lon was looking for the inheritor of the Fu Zan staff at this time.
This staff was indeed taken from a sacred tree in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms.
That was a tree planted by Freya herself.
This tree absorbed the power of the bottom of the Vale of Eternal Blossoms, growing luxuriantly, filling the entire area with life.
Naming this tree Fu Zan and making one of its branches into a staff accompanied her on a long journey.
Before Freya returned to Ulduar, she entrusted this Fu Zan staff to Yu'lon, asking her to find someone who hates war and cares about peace.
Doesn't the appearance of the Monkey King just meet the conditions for choosing the master of this artifact?
So after a test, the Monkey King became the new owner of Fu Zan, the Companion.
"Just after the emperor transformed into the mist that shrouded Pandaria, the Monkey King lost his best friend, but he still adhered to the will of Emperor Shao Hao and guarded Pandaria."
"In the days that followed, whether it was the Mogu warlords, the radical hozen tribes, or the fierce Yaungol marauders who wanted to jump out and unify Pandaria, none of them made much noise."
"Because before that, there would always be a mysterious hozen appearing in front of them…"
