Azeroth Shadow of the Moon

The Wandering Isle is called an island, but in fact it is a small world derived from Shen-zin Zi's huge tortoise shell.

Seen from the sky above the Wandering Isle, the entire island has beautiful scenery, and a large number of exquisite buildings with a strong ethnic style stand between the mountains and rivers.

This architectural style of carved beams and painted buildings made Andrea feel a little dazed for a while. After more than 10,000 years, he saw the ancient buildings with the style of his hometown again, and he suddenly felt as if he had passed away.

"Andrea?"

After not hearing Andrea's new instructions for a long time, Princess Black Dragon asked with some doubts, "What should I do next? Land directly on the island?"

"Huh? Oh, let's land then."

Rubbing the space between his brows to let himself regain his divergent thoughts, Andrea refocused his eyes and overlooked the layout of the Wandering Isle.

The most eye-catching thing on the island is the towering pagoda-shaped building in the center of the Wandering Isle. With this pagoda as the center, the Wandering Isle is roughly divided into four regions: southeast, northwest, and Onyxia simply recognized it. Landed in the square next to the pagoda.

There is a large-scale temple-like building complex near the stupa. Many Pandaren monks are practicing martial arts in a spacious bluestone square. action.

The huge black dragon that suddenly descended from the sky startled the apprentice pandaren monks, but these curious pandaren on the Wandering Isle didn't have much fear. Instead, curiosity and interest prevailed.

The pandaren who followed Liu Lang to leave Pandaria for adventures were originally rebels in the clan. They naturally liked to pursue new and exciting things, and when they saw the arrival of a strange dragon, they were more happy than surprised.

"Don't panic! Stay where you are and don't move!"

The majestic middle-aged monk leader calmed down the whispering apprentices, and his feet quickly approached the direction of Onyxia's landing as if teleporting. In just a few breaths, he was close to Onyxia who had just changed back to human form. Nicoxia.

The monk saluted Andrea and Onyxia with his fists clasped in a courteous manner, his piercing eyes scrutinizing the two of them.

"This is Shang Xi, the head of Wuchen Temple monks. Who are you two? Why did you come to the Wandering Isle?"

'Shang Xi? '

Andrea always felt a little familiar when he heard this name, but he couldn't remember where he heard it for a while.

Replying politely with a not-so-standard cupping salute, Andrea smiled and replied, "Master Shang Xi, you are polite, we are from the Dark Night Republic in Kalimdor, and we have something to ask Shen-zin Zi for help, but unfortunately we have not been able to get it." His response."

The Wandering Isle has produced countless travelers and adventurers over the years. Most of them will travel around when they are young, and they will return to the Wandering Isle to start a family when they are middle-aged.

Shang Xi had also had the experience of going out and wandering, and had also been to Kalimdor to contact the night elves, so he was not surprised when he heard about Andrea's background.

But when he heard his reason for coming, Shang Xi was slightly taken aback.

"Shen-zin Zi?" Shang Xi stroked the well-groomed goatee on his chin, "So that's it, Shen-zin Zi is currently in a dormant period, and it's hard to wake him up with the usual methods."

"This is not a place to entertain guests. Please follow me to the nearby Morning Rest Village to discuss in detail, two distinguished guests."

...

Morning Rest Village is one of the main residences of the pandaren on the Wandering Isle, located near the lake to the west of the Temple of Five Dawns.

It was early morning at this time, and the industrious Pandaren villagers left home one after another along the road, heading to the farm east of Wuchen Temple to start a day of farming.

After arriving at Morning Rest Village, Shang Xi briefly introduced the situation of Wandering Island to Andrea and the others, "The area of ​​Wandering Island is small, and there are less than 10,000 pandaren living on the island, and they rely on farming and grazing for self-sufficiency. "

"Although there are not many people here, the residents here live and work in peace and contentment and perform their duties. It can be said that it is a complete small society."

There are training grounds for martial arts on Mizong Island, as well as farmland and breeding farms. The surplus food is even enough for pandaren to open wineries on the island.

According to Andrea and Onyxia's personal measurements, it only took about half an hour to take a bullock cart from Wuchen Temple to Morning Rest Village, and it should take less than two hours to cross the whole island from east to west. The size of the island is really not that big.

After all, the island is just the shell of a giant turtle.

Pandaren are friendly, but that doesn't mean they're immune to unexpected guests.

Shang Xi seems to have a high status on the Wandering Isle. During the chatting process, he was a bit aggressive, asking Andrea and Onyxia the purpose of trying to awaken Shen-zin Zi.

Andrea had nothing to hide about this, he expressed his intentions openly and honestly.

"We want to go to the continent of Pandaria under the guidance of Shen-zin Zi. After the death of Liu Lang, the founder of the Wandering Isle, Shen-zin Zi should be the only one who can find the way back."

"Pandaria..."

Shang Xi said with some emotion, "To be honest, we have only heard of this legendary hometown. Ever since Shen-zinko fell into hibernation, he has not returned to Pandaria shrouded in mist for many years."

Shen-zin Zi is, after all, only a mortal being, neither a loa nor a demigod of the wild.

It has been more than 800 years since Liu Lang took Shen-zin Zi to sea for adventure, and Shen-zin Zi gradually began to be in a trance during the never-ending swimming.

If he didn't want to continue to protect Liu Lang's descendants and the continuation of his will to explore, this old big turtle would have returned to Pandaria to enjoy a peaceful life long ago.

"Shen-zinko is already old, and his aging soul can't support him to stay awake for a long time. He is in a dormant state most of the time, and his body just swims in the sea habitually."

Shang Xi looked at Andrea and asked, "You two, please forgive me, why do you want to go to Pandaria?"

"The continent in the mist has been self-enclosed for more than ten thousand years, and has completely cut off contact with the outside world. The two should go to Pandaria for important business, right?"

Shang Xi said sternly, "I may be meddling in saying this, but as a member of the Pandaren, I hope to first confirm that the two of you are harmless to Pandaria."

Onyxia seemed a little disdainful, but she didn't refute Shang Xi's words.

Andrea thought about it for a while, "Our purpose is more complicated, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain it clearly in a short time."

"Master Shang Xi should have heard of the guardian dragon, right?"

"I've heard that in the legends handed down by the Pandaren, the Dragon Clan, like the Four Heavenly Gods, is an important barrier to protect Azeroth from foreign enemies."

"That's easy to say."

Andrea smiled and explained, "One of the goals of our trip is to go to Pandaria to find the Azure Dragon Yu'lon, one of the four gods, to solve the puzzles entrusted by the guardian dragon family."

Shang Xi turned his gaze to look at Onyxia in human form. At this time, the black dragon princess was playing with her black hair hanging down her chest boredly. She just followed Andrea to Pandaria to gain insights. Don't care much about business.

"All right."

Considering Onyxia who was in the form of a dragon before, Shang Xi hesitated for a while and finally nodded, "I need to ask the elder first to see if he agrees to take you to the shrine in the Zen Staff Forest to try to awaken Shen-zin Zi's soul. "

Shang Xi stroked his goatee habitually, and said expectantly, "The current generation of pandaren on the Wandering Isle has never seen Pandaria, so it's good to take them back to their hometown to recognize their ancestors."
