Azeroth Shadow of the Moon

When the vibration of Baihu Mountain finally stopped, there was a hole in the center of the small platform on the top of the mountain, and the howling mountain wind made all the monks lying on the mountain road tremble.

Liu Xing didn't know whether he was shivering because of the cold, or because he was frightened by the shocking movement caused by the battle between the two big men. His thoughts were in a mess, and his eyes were a little dull looking at the big gap across the top of the mountain.

The noise coming from the bottom of the mountain path brought Liu Xing back to his senses. A group of pandaren in heavy attire followed a burly leader and rushed towards the top of the mountain.

"Xu Kun?"

"Liu Xing, where's the enemy? Has Lord Xuen won?"

Liu Xing shook his head, pointing to the temporarily calm battlefield, "Look for yourself, it should still be a tie for the time being."

'Tie? '

The pandaren known as Xu Kun's eyes froze.

He knows the strength of the white tiger Xuen better than anyone else. The brave and skilled Xuen rarely faces a stalemate in a one-on-one battle.

Xuen's fighting style has always been open and close, advocating the use of offense instead of defense, and the winning and losing scenes will be particularly obvious, and the situation of a tie rarely occurs.

Just like the battle between Xuen and the legendary mogu emperor Lei Shen, which was widely spread in the pandaren civilization, if Xuen fought hard, he could actually remain undefeated for a long time.

But this hot-tempered old man never wronged himself. He continued to implement his own style as always, and fought against the Thunder God who controlled the power of thunder and lightning in the divine realm, and finally lost vigorously.

More than a minute had passed since the violent energy confrontation on the top of the mountain, and there was still no movement from the battlefield. Liu Xing and Xu Kun looked at each other and moved forward cautiously.

Due to the destruction of the terrain, the three people on the top of the mountain were separated by a big gap in the center. Onyxia returned to her original form and was suspended in mid-air, while Andrea was separated from the huge white tiger with a look of scrutiny. The rifts stared at each other.

After a long time, Xuen asked with inexplicable emotions, "Night elf, why are you showing mercy?"

Andrea smiled and waved his hands and said, "It was just a misunderstanding, and I didn't even think about fighting to the death with you, just let it go."

Xuen's white eyebrows frowned slightly, he was very dissatisfied with the result of this battle.

Except for fighting against Niuzao, whose defense was against the sky and who was as stable as an old dog, he hadn't felt this kind of aggrieved feeling for a long time.

"Hmph! A win is a win, a loss is a loss. A tie ending is too boring."

Xue Nu raised his body in displeasure, lifted his previous guard posture, and the dignified atmosphere shrouded in the mountaintop finally began to dissipate.

"Since you still have the strength to keep your hands in the battle, I actually lost this battle."

Liu Xing and Xu Kun, who had just walked nearby, were taken aback at the same time. Liu Xing was not bad, and he could barely accept it after witnessing the whole process of the battle, but Xu Kun stared at the hairless mortal.

"How can it be?!"

The three of them had noticed the approach of the group of monks, and after confirming that Xuen had lifted their guard, Onikhill and Andrea turned their gazes to them curiously.

Andrea raised her eyebrows unexpectedly, "This kind of clothing, could it be them?" '

Judging from the attire of the pandaren on the Wandering Isle, they all wear looser clothes, and even the practice clothes are rarely designed to be completely tight.

But the group of pandaren dressed in black costumes in front of them looked much more capable than their simple and honest compatriots, and the murderous aura permeating them was incompatible with the pandaren social atmosphere that advocated a slow-paced life.

"Master Xuenu, Xu Kun hastily climbed the mountain, please forgive me."

Xu Kun respectfully saluted Xuen, then his sharp and suspicious eyes turned back to Andrea, and at the same time, he glanced at Onyxia who had just landed.

Seeing that Xu Kun was about to open his mouth to ask something, Xue Nu interrupted him, "Don't be impulsive, judge people with martial arts and see nature with a clear heart, this night elf demigod should really have no malicious intentions."

'Demi god? ! '

Xu Kun was startled, and retracted his previous unscrupulous gaze, and tried his best to look at the smiling alien from the corner of his eye.

"Ha~"

Onyxia yawned and asked, "Have you finished talking nonsense? It's time to get down to business, right?"

Xue Nu shook his head down the mountain and said, "Come with me, I'll let the monks fill up the gap on the mountain first."

"Don't bother."

Onyxia slapped the dragon claw on the ground, and the earthy yellow light melted into the ground.

The originally cracked ground quickly closed again. Apart from looking a little irregular, the hideous crack seemed to have never appeared before.

Xue Nu glanced at Onyxia, "Very proficient in the power of the earth, as expected of that lunatic's own daughter."

Onyxia proudly raised her dragon's head and snorted softly, "Stop flattering and lead the way."

...

On the way back to the White Tiger Temple, all the monks lined up on both sides respectfully clasped their fists and bent down to salute Xuen. Under the escort of the monks, Andrea and Onyxia, who had turned into a human again, Follow Xue Nu to the main hall of Baihu Temple.

Although it is called a temple, what monks believe in is not Buddhism. The core idea of ​​the way of monks is closer to philosophy.

Moreover, the ways of the monks taught by the four gods are different from each other, so a variety of sects have been derived from the Pandaren monk group.

For example, the monks who asked for advice from the white tiger Xuen had a strong aggressive spirit, showing aggressiveness in every move, which was obviously different from the monks that Andrea had seen on the Wandering Isle before.

After relying on fighting for a long time to move his body, Xue Nu was in a good mood at this time, but Xu Kun, who followed him to the main hall, looked not so good.

"Let me introduce you first."

Xue Nu stretched out his left paw and pointed at Liu Xing and Xu Kun successively, "This is Liu Xing, the contemporary major disciple of Baihu Temple, and this is Xu Kun, the leader of the Shado-Pan Sect."

"The Shado-Pan is an elite military organization founded before Shaohao turned into the mist. The members of the sect are not limited to monks. As long as they are willing to rely on their hands to protect Pandaria, all pandaren can sign up to join the Shado-Pan."

Xu Kun added proudly, "That's what I said, but the Shado-Pan's entrance examination is very strict, not all cats and dogs can join our team."

Xue Nu smiled and shook his head, "Your mouth still offends people so much."

Baihu Xuen's temper is straightforward. Although Xu Kun looks very stinky, Xuen favors him because of this, and occasionally gives him some pointers in his spare time.

‘Sure enough, it’s the Shado-Pan faction, and…does every generation of the Shado-Pan faction have such a bad temper? '

Before Shaohao turned into the mist, he ordered the dissolution of the Pandaren Empire. Since then, the Pandaren have no unified central government.

If it weren't for the pandaren's strong self-discipline and Buddhist nature, their anarchy that lasted for 10,000 years would cause trouble sooner or later.

Although the centralization of power has been dismantled, the pandaren society has not completely gone into chaos.

The Golden Lotus Sect and the Shado-Pan sect founded by Shaohao before his death are in charge of the state power and military power respectively.

The Golden Lotus Sect has always paid attention to governance by doing nothing, and they will try to minimize their presence when they don't need to show up. On the contrary, the Shado-Pan, who is in charge of Pandaria's defense work, appears more frequently in front of Pandaren civilians.

Whether it's a regional crisis or a mantid invasion every few decades, the Shado-Pan warriors are always on the front line.

At this time, the head of the Shado-Pan faction was not the blood-spitting Zhu that Andrea was familiar with. If nothing else happened, this pandaren named Xu Kun should be Zhu Taran's previous head of the Shado-Pan faction.

Although he was in awe of the strength of Andrea and Onyxia, Xu Kun, who was on duty, did not shrink back.

Xu Kun clasped fists to Andrea and Onyxia neither humble nor overbearing, "Both of you, this is Xu Kun from the Shado-Pan faction. It is my duty to protect Pandaria. Just in case, I hope to know that you two have entered Pandaria." ways and purposes."
