"Did the hozen commander be blown to the Mantis Plateau by a strange demonic wind?" Angmar narrowed his eyes and asked tentatively, "He also brought the cane of Titan Guardian Freya that you gave him. , Fu Zan"
Yulong was slightly surprised, "That's right."
Angmar fell into deep thought upon hearing this.
This
This is not right. It is completely inconsistent with the timeline. How could the "Monkey King Incident" happen when Shaohao was about to complete his journey of redemption?
But this is obviously the original history that has not been affected by anyone.
Fu Zan is known as the friend of wanderers.
This artifact is shaped like a staff, and its origins can be traced back to the Sequential Era, which is centuries older than the ancient times.
At that time, the Titan Guardian Freya had just created the Emerald Dream. This is a questionable history. Although many people believe that the Emerald Dream was created by Freya, Angmar believes that Freya does not have such power. of.Even if all the other guardians are included, he prefers to believe that the Emerald Dream originally existed in another form. It was the sleeping dream of the infant Titan star soul inside Azeroth.What Freya did was just use the Titan's creation method to materialize it into the Emerald Dream that could feed nature back.
In order to bring life to the ecological experimental site of Jinxiu Valley, she created a tree and planted it in the place with the strongest life energy in Jinxiu Valley.In the long years that followed, a beautiful golden forest gradually grew up around the mother tree. This mother tree was eventually named Fu Zan by Freya.One of Fu Zan's branches was made into her own walking stick, which was also named after "Fu Zan".
The years passed and time passed to the period of the Guardian Civil War.The betrayed Loken severely damaged Ulduar's defense system with the help of the ancient god Yogg-Saron. Freya returned north to join the war.Before leaving, he handed it over to Qinglong Yulong, who had been raising and guiding her like a son and daughter, and asked her to give Fu Zan to a person who cared about peace and hated war.
Freya never came back. The Guardians failed and lost completely. She was captured by Loken and imprisoned in a prison. She eventually fell under the corruption of the Old God and became Rulo. Ken's ordinary existence.
Yu'lon always remembered Freya's guidance.Among the ethnic groups living near the Valley of Eternal Blossoms, the one she least expected was the unborn hozen, but the one who finally held the blessing was also a hozen. He unified the hozen tribes and called himself the "Monkey King". Hozen leader.In short, after a series of tests, a few years before the War of the Ancients, Yulong handed the Fortune to the Monkey King, and predicted that the Monkey King, the holder of the Fortune, would bring peace to this land again. .
There is also an interesting little story here. The Monkey King is really naughty. In order to carry his beloved wine gourd, he secretly added a metal buckle to the top of the bottle.
Later, the Monkey King met Shaohao and soon formed a friendship.Shaohao told the Monkey King the future he saw from the Jinyu Water Whisperer when he first came to the throne. The Monkey King firmly believed that it was Yu'lon's prophecy. In fact, the prophecy was realized after the War of the Ancients. Then he declared that he would join hands with Shaohao to resist evil together
Then a rather mythical scene happened.According to historical records, a demonic wind blew the Monkey King to the Mantis Plateau, the territory of the Mantid.There he experienced the most helpless scene in his life. His intelligence was useless, and he was in danger due to the mantid's pursuit. If Shaohao hadn't come, he might have died in a land far away from home. .
The historical record of the outcome of this farce is quite brief. It only says that Shaohao transformed into the mist and saved Pandaria. The Monkey King returned to his hometown, despairing of all hope, abandoned Fu Zan and threw it into the river.In the end, he had no choice but to pick it up, because the blessing fell into the holy river of the Jinyu people, and no one except the holder could move it.
There is a question here. What is the process after being rescued?
Angmar had always had doubts about this in the previous life, because the first version of the historical setting about the Monkey King was published during the Pandaria period, and it did not mention the story of the Monkey King and Fu Zan.At that time, the Monkey King was just Shaohao's good partner. He used masks and various methods to help Shaohao eliminate the negative emotions in his heart.The story related to Fu Zan was not completed until the Legion returned, but something ridiculous seemed to have happened. The two versions of history conflicted with each other.According to the history of the second edition, the Monkey King was blown to the Mantis Plateau as soon as he came into contact with Shaohao. After being rescued, Shaohao turned into a mist. How come the long shared experience in the first edition was omitted without leaving any time?
In fact, this is not the case. This time "they" were clever, deliberately blurring the entry point of the story, and using the Pandaren setting style to dilute the rigor with mythological records, leaving sufficient room for the reader's imagination to avoid being unable to do so in the end. Justify yourself.According to Angmar's previous inference, the story should be that the Monkey King first came into contact with Shaohao, and then was blown to the Mantis Plateau by the demonic wind. After being rescued, they embarked on a journey of redemption in Pandaria, and finally returned to their hometown, but the prophecy failed to come true. , I felt regretful that my friends were no longer there, and I threw away my fortune in anger.
That's not right. Shaohao has clearly sealed the six evil spirits and is about to enter the final stage that will last for several years. The plot of "The Monkey King was blown away by the evil wind" should not happen at this time point.
Could it be that the original speculation was wrong? But this arrangement seems more reasonable, and it can better exaggerate the Monkey King's annoyance at his failure to help Shaohao, and his change of mood after the end of the ancient war, and finally defeated the man named "The Jade God of War", the mogu who intend to overthrow Pandaria.
In the end, Angmar nodded and said: "If you think His Majesty Shaohao needs my company, I can go to the Mantis Plateau with him to rescue the Hozen Commander."
It's just that he couldn't figure out what the point was.The Supreme Gods seem to intend to create time for themselves and Shaohao to spend time together. Do they think too highly of themselves? They hope that they can have some positive influence on Shaohao and help him complete his final journey of redemption.
Judging from Shaohao's attitude towards himself, I'm afraid this will not yield any results.As the ruler and protector of this place, Shaohao would not like this huge threat of his own.
"Thank you for your generosity, outsider."
As soon as Xuenu finished speaking, the sound of bells came from the direction of Baihu Temple.Xuen glanced at his companions, turned into a pandaren again, and said to Angmar: "Let's go back. The tourney has begun."
Niuzao also looked at Angma and said with a deep voice: "We will go to Yongchun Terrace first to make preparations. After you return from the Mantis Plateau and become familiar with the situation of the evil demon, we can start the plan. Thank you again for your upcoming work for this land. The hard work of the land, Angmar.”
Angmar returned the favor and followed Xuen down the mountain, walked across the suspension bridge, passed through the crowd of pandas, and entered the temple on the main peak, the main building that looked like a competition ground.
In the audience, there were monks from all over Pandaria wearing various costumes, including visitors from Tianchan Temple. The enlightened ones were led by an elderly Pandaren monk with a serious look, a big waist, and a mustache. , and the leader of the black guards is surprisingly Commander Fang
There are also temple monks from the other three Celestial God Temples, the brewmasters from the Valley of the Four Winds, masters who have been cultivating in Qingri Peak for many years, and there are even jinyu people and hozens in the audience.
The pandas watched Xuen walking towards the center of the martial arts arena, waiting for his opening speech.Many people noticed Angmar following Xuen. Those White Tiger Temple monks were better off, because they all knew who Angmar was.But others were different. Their eyes stayed on Angmar for a long time, not only because he was a strange-looking foreigner, but also because of the identity and status he displayed.
Who is this foreigner and why can he stand behind the Supreme God?
Noticing the return of the two men, Shaohao, the "Temple Blessing" who was presiding over the situation, bowed deeply and gave up his position to Xuen.Xuenu looked around, scanning the people present one by one, and said:
"This is the worst of times, with the imminent catastrophe lingering like a dark cloud. The mantid invades repeatedly, and our homeland suffers unimaginable threats. But it is also the best of times, because in the face of disasters, we have never been able to The unity of all the ethnic groups living on this land has contributed their own strength to peace and tranquility. We have sealed the six evil demons one after another and launched a challenge to the strongest and most cunning evil demon. We gathered The strongest force they could muster formed the Shado-Pan."
"This year's martial arts tournament will be the most special one in history. Although we do not focus on victory or defeat as before, we only focus on exchanging ideas and finding breakthroughs and inner peace through mutual confirmation, but this year's tournament will also Select the best monks and prepare for the disaster that Pandaria is about to face. You will become the guardians of this land, turn the tide when the tsunami comes, support you when the building is about to collapse, and assist your Emperor, find a glimmer of hope for this land to eliminate evil and evil forever."
"So"
"The fight begins."
