"Wow! The Monkey King is so cool!"
This is Lili.
"I want to become a wise and chivalrous hero like him, stopping those bad guys who want to do evil!"
This is Arathor.
"But brother, we are princes! We should be like Father, leading vast armies and eliminating evil in the world!"
Listening to the children's discussion, Zhou Zhuo happily stroked his mustache.

The meaning of a Lorewalker is not only to travel the world and explore knowledge, but also to pass on the legend and teachings of the first Lorewalker, Kang, and to advise those they meet along the way to discover the harmony of emotions deep within their hearts.
For thousands of years, although the Lorewalkers are a folk organization, not as powerful as the official Shado-Pan organization personally established by Shao Hao, they are also extremely important in Pandaria. They are not only good at telling stories, but also act as mediators in conflicts, skillfully using fables and metaphors to resolve tense situations.
Although Dawn's Blossom is a large town for the pandaren, the pace of life is unusually slow, making people feel comfortable and relaxed.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Taran Zhu also came here from the Temple of the Jade Serpent. When Galen saw him again, his attitude could be described as respectful.
Galen Hellscream, the leader of the largest force in the world outside of Pandaria, the Alliance, has reached the demigod level that mortals can hardly reach.
You must know that in tens of thousands of years, there have been very few people who have achieved demigod status from mortals. You can count them on one hand.
As far as Taran Zhu knows, Shao Hao, the last emperor of their pandaren, was a demigod-level powerhouse, and Empress Azshara of the night elves, who was in the same era as Shao Hao, is also considered one.
And Galen is the third person he has heard of.
Not only is he strong enough, but he is also the spokesperson of the Azeroth world-soul. Even the August Celestials would respect him, let alone Taran Zhu.
However, Taran Zhu doesn't know that among the three big shots he knows, only Shao Hao's strength is entirely based on his own talent and hard work.
The other two, Azshara and Galen, although they don't have the amplification of a fusion like the Lich King, nor were they granted the Titan power like the Dragon Aspects, Azshara relied on the power of the Well of Eternity to achieve demigod status, and Galen purely used a cheat.
Truly speaking, Shao Hao is the real big shot.
This is Galen's evaluation of the pandaren emperor.
"Taran Zhu, my plan is about to begin. You can follow me to witness the end of the Sha of Doubt."
Galen looked at this monk master and invited him to go to the Heart of the Dragon:
"It's good that you are here, I can save a lot of effort. You can send your men to clear the area around the Heart of the Dragon to avoid unnecessary casualties."
Galen remembered that the construction of the Heart of the Dragon had only started a few years ago, and only a small part of the project had been completed, with many craftsmen stationed around.
"The mission of our Shado-Pan is to suppress those sha. Highlord, please rest assured, I will have the Blackguard take the stone carvers away, and also drive away the surrounding wild animals."
Taran Zhu did not hesitate. Over the years, the pandaren have accumulated too much experience in dealing with the sha, and they can complete it independently without Galen's coordination.
"Highlord, do we need to set up exorcism arrays around the area? Our Shado-Pan has inherited this type of array for thousands of years, specifically for dealing with sha."
"No need, doing so will easily alert the enemy, it's just a sha."
The reason why Galen appeared so confident was because he had made complete preparations…
Once things develop beyond his expectations, the entire Golden Holy Dragon clan will enter the field and then use golden dragon breath to wash the area.
"However, I need you to send a few experts to protect my children. They will be touring the Emperor's Burden with Zhou Zhuo. I'm a little worried if it's just Old Chen."
When Galen mentioned Old Chen, Taran Zhu's eyes changed, obviously he was very interested in that wandering isle monk who had exchanged blows with him.
He is a good opponent!
"Tao Xi!"
Taran Zhu called out, and a female pandaren suddenly appeared from the shadows with a lithe figure.
"Highlord, this is Tao Xi, one of the few experts in the Shado-Pan. With her and Chen Stormstout as guards, one in the open and one in the dark, we can guarantee that nothing will go wrong."
Tao Xi…
A cute pandaren girl, but her strength is indeed very strong. She also has a place in the Uncrowned later on.
"Then it's settled, let's go!"
… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …
Heart of the Dragon.
This place was originally a nexus of the ley lines in Pandaria. For many years, Yu'lon has been choosing to carve her statues here, and then perform the reincarnation ceremony.
At this moment, the small island in the river is empty, leaving only a huge stone pillar standing in the center of the island.
Only a little of the jade serpent's tail shape has been completed on the stone pillar. After today, it will never be completed, but Yu'lon will no longer need to be reincarnated in the future.
The arrival of two armies broke the tranquility of the Heart of the Dragon island.
One army is the jinyu force. These white-scaled jinyu are wearing the Alliance's standard half-body armor, holding battle blades that gleam with cold light, and carrying the Stormwind eagle banner on their backs. Under the leadership of Alleria, they marched into the island from the bridge in the southeast direction.
On the other side, a large number of hozen were running on all fours behind Sylvanas, also wearing armor and carrying muskets on their backs.
From the military appearance, it can be seen that the jinyu are more disciplined, with neat formations, while the hozen are somewhat chaotic.
The two armies stopped in front of the stone pillar in the Heart of the Dragon.
Alleria and Sylvanas came to the front of the formation. The two Windrunner sisters, one wearing green armor and cloak, and the other wearing blue tights and cloak, didn't say a word, and drew out their daggers at the same time, launching a charge towards the direction where the other was!
"Kill! Kill those treacherous hozen!"
"Hairless freaks! Kill those hairless freaks in the water, you idiots!"
Bang!
The jinyu phalanx and the hozen collided together, and the daggers of Sylvanas and Alleria collided in the next moment, sparking sparks!
"How was my acting?"
"It's still a bit lacking, we need to fight for real!"
The tacit Windrunner sisters understood each other's meaning through eye contact and immediately used three more points of strength!
Two thousand jinyu and hozen each, a total of four thousand people, started a war on the small Heart of the Dragon island!
Far away in the northeast corner of the Jade Forest, Zhou Zhuo was leading the children to tour the Emperor's Burden.
"Children, Shao Hao, the last emperor of the pandaren, started his path to saving Pandaria from here. Do you see the stone wall in front of you? Three murals are carved on it, recording Shao Hao's words!"
Zhou Zhuo raised his head to look up at the huge stone wall. Old Chen and a group of hired miners were climbing on it, clearing away the moss and vines.
"The Supreme Dao is hidden within. What kind of fate did this emperor encounter?"
"Uncle Zhou Zhuo, I've heard you and Father mention Shao Hao's name several times. I remember he was a partner of the Monkey King and also an emperor! Can you tell us his story?"
As soon as Legolas said this, Zhou Zhuo instantly perked up. Although these three children had many questions when he told stories, they were the best listeners and could always glean some insights from the stories.
Three incredibly intelligent children made Zhou Zhuo feel like he was sculpting perfect jade!
"Shao Hao, the Pandaren emperor, was a legendary figure from ten thousand years ago. His greatest achievement was sealing away the Sha demons that plagued Pandaria, allowing the people to live a peaceful life."
"Today, I will tell you a story about him called 'Shao Hao's Seven Burdens'."
Zhou Zhuo looked at the first mural that had been cleared, which depicted Shao Hao meditating on his Dao in the waters of the Jade Forest!
"After Shao Hao ascended the throne, he followed the Pandaren tradition and visited the Jinyu elders in the south. You've all met the Jinyu, like Wanyu. They are very intelligent and have always served as chancellors of the Pandaren Empire. They can foresee the future from the changes in the water currents."
"During Shao Hao's visit, the Jinyu elders told him that a disaster would befall them, the sky would be burned by emerald green flames, and a large group of demons would descend from the sky!"
"I know, I know! The Burning Legion is coming! Father told us that the Highborne, the ancestors of the high elves, summoned these demons. Later, the high elves broke away from the night elf tribe for these reasons and established their own country in the Eastern Kingdoms!"
Great, Arathor has already learned to answer first!
Zhou Zhuo was shouting helplessly in his heart!
Here it comes again, another blind spot in my knowledge!
However, Zhou Zhuo quickly noted this knowledge point in addition to his helplessness. After the Night Elf Empire summoned the Burning Legion, it seemed that a rebellion broke out among the lower classes. The tauren were among these rebels, as Jialin mentioned before. Hmm, the rebellion should have been successful in the end. They defeated the Highborne, drove out the demons, and finally, the descendants of the Highborne left the night elf tribe and established the High Elf Kingdom!
I learned some more knowledge today, Zhou Zhuo was a little happy, and then continued: "In order to save Pandaria from this disaster, he and the Monkey King embarked on the path of redemption."
At this time, the second mural was also cleared, which was a picture of two Pandaren warriors fighting in the flames.
"The wise August Celestials told Shao Hao that only by releasing the burdens on his shoulders, purifying his heart, and aligning himself with the land of Pandaria, achieving harmony between man and nature, could he protect his people and land!"
"Children, do you know how to purify your hearts?"
"I don't know, Uncle Zhou Zhuo, how do we purify our hearts?"
Zhou Zhuo laughed: "I don't know either, so let's see what Shao Hao did!"
"Yeah, yeah, Uncle Zhou Zhuo, tell us quickly, I can't wait to know the ending!"
"Oh, don't worry, don't worry, children, let me slowly come!"
"With the help of the Monkey King, Shao Hao dispelled his doubts in the Jade Forest, eliminated his despair in Krasarang Wilds, overcame his fear on the Mantid Terrace, and defeated his anger, hatred, and violence on the peaks of Kun-Lai Summit."
"The six Sha demons were sealed, and Emperor Shao Hao's pride shrouded Pandaria in mist, because he believed that the Pandaren were superior to other races in the world and had the ability to solve their own problems."
This is the source of Pandaria's mist power.
After Zhou Zhuo finished speaking, he found that the last mural had automatically appeared without anyone clearing it. He was still immersed in his narration and had not reacted.
"May we all live like the August Celestial Emperor. Like him, let go of the burdens on our shoulders and coexist with the universe. I believe that this is what he wanted to convey to us before he returned to the earth and spared Pandaria from disaster…"
After Zhou Zhuo finished speaking, a slight tremor came from the ground beneath his feet. He looked up and saw that the last mural had clearly appeared before everyone's eyes in a burst of light!
The mural depicted a huge Sha demon, appearing in the mountains of the Jade Forest amidst the flames of war, destroying this beautiful land!
"Boom!"
A sound of heavy objects collapsing came from the south!
Zhou Zhuo turned his head to look south, and a terrifying behemoth taller than a mountain appeared!
"No! A Sha demon!"
"This is impossible!"
Zhou Zhuo's legs went weak, and he almost fell to the ground!
"Chen, come back quickly, we must notify Jialin and Headmaster Zhu. The Sha demon has appeared!"
At this time, the female Pandaren Tao Ya appeared and supported Zhou Zhuo, stopping him from shouting: "Don't worry, Lorewalker, this is all part of Lord Jialin and the Azure Serpent's plan. We just need to stay here."
Time returned to before Zhou Zhuo told the story. Aorelia and Sylvanas became more and more excited as they fought. They were not only limited to attacking each other, but the battle also affected the surrounding Hozen and Jinyu.
As the battle between the two leading big sisters became more and more fierce, the younger brothers on both sides also took care of each other's vital points.
It's just that the Jinyu didn't know that their blades were all second-hand goods that were about to be recycled. The reason why they were able to knock down the Hozen was because the blades were coated with a strong anesthetic.
The muskets on the Hozen's side were the same, all inferior gunpowder produced by goblin apprentices. Hitting the Jinyu would only cause serious injuries at most, and they wouldn't die for a while.
However, the Hozen and the Jinyu did not know this. Their battle was due to long-standing grievances, which could even be traced back to the Mogu Empire thousands of years ago.
The gap of ten thousand years, coupled with so many years of constant friction, made the enemies particularly jealous when they met.
Boom!
A cannon fire from behind hit the stone pillar carved with the Azure Serpent!
That stone pillar was the core item that sealed the Sha of Doubt!
Under the attack of this cannon fire, cracks appeared in the stone pillar, and the cracks became larger and larger!
Boom!
The stone pillar collapsed!
The Windrunner sisters, who were fighting, separated quickly and ran towards the periphery of the Heart of the Dragon!
Along with the collapse of the stone pillar, a burst of black and gray smoke spewed out from the ground and soared into the sky!
A huge, ugly creature appeared!
