Let’s put it this way, when you come to Pandaria, if you want to find a guide, that person must be Zhou Zhuo without a doubt!

Perhaps in the ancient ruins, you would worry that this guy would touch the mechanisms that he shouldn't touch due to his strong curiosity, but outside, his rich knowledge is still trustworthy.

Jialin asked Elder Yin Bocheng about the whereabouts of the wandering scholar Zhou Zhuo. Jialin remembered that he was also in the Emerald Forest.

"Zhou Zhuo, he is a knowledgeable panda man. I heard that the place where he practices is in the Thousand Words Cave to the west of the Emerald Forest. But you have to be careful if you want to find him, because that is the territory of the hozen. They are stubborn and brutal, and are not very friendly to people who trespass into their territory." The old panda man had a look of disgust on his face, and it seemed that he had suffered a lot from the hozen.

"I know about monkeys. There are also those annoying guys on the Lost Island. They always steal things from the village. Humph!" Lili finally came back to her senses from the huge stove. The stove on the Lost Island was not so huge.

Yin Bocheng looked at the panda girl with a smile on his face, then patted Lili's head and continued, "The hozen are a member of Pandaria." The old panda fell into memory, "When the last king of the Mogu Empire fell, our ancestors rose up. In that uprising to overthrow the brutal rule of the Mogu, those who fought alongside our ancestors included the Jinyu people, the hozen, and even the forest elves. And although the travellers didn't mention it, it is very likely that humans and trolls were involved as well."

Alleria frowned and questioned, "It's unlikely, Elder. The Pandaren Empire was founded more than 12,000 years ago. At that time, humans were not yet established, and the Zandalari and the Mogu were still allies. How could these two races participate in the Pandaren uprising?"

Garin was also very curious. At that time, humans had just degenerated from the rock and flesh of the Vekul and should have stayed near the Arathi Highlands. Why would they travel thousands of miles to the south?

"I don't know much about this, but the saying among the Lorewalkers is: every race has some people who take a different path."

"Oh……"

Garin felt confused and impressed. It was a history of more than 10,000 years ago, and he had no way of witnessing it. Perhaps only the bronze dragon knew the details.

"Although the hozen had the same tragic birth as us Jinyu people, their stubbornness and cunning are indelible."

Yin Bocheng's apprentice Wan Yu had started cooking today's dinner based on the conversation just now. He had just served the first dish and couldn't help but interrupt when he heard Jialin and the others' conversation.

This smiling Wan Yu is a Jinyu man. He has blue skin, big eyes, and two tentacles hanging from the corners of his mouth. He looks like a real carp, but except for the scales and fins on his fingers, he is no different from humans in other aspects.

Seeing Legolas and Arator looking at him curiously, Wanyu nodded towards the two cute children.

Arator stretched out his hand and tried to stroke the tentacles of the Jinyu man, but was stopped by Garin who was one step faster: "Arator, don't do that, it's impolite."

Facing his father's stern gaze, Arator immediately apologized sensibly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Wanyu."

Wan Yu smiled again: "It's okay, kid, Mr. Jialin, don't be too harsh on the child."

After saying that, the Jinyu people went to serve the dishes again.

Galen looked at it and waved to Legolas and Arator. The two children understood and ran to help the Jinyu chef serve the dishes.

Flame Salmon!

Peanut pork chops!

Steamed mantis shrimp!

Roasted wild pheasant!

Valley stir-fry!

Soft and silky scrambled eggs!

Crunchy carrots!

pumpkin pie!

Spring rolls!

Fragrant flower petal soup!

Every time the children brought out a dish, Elder Yin Bocheng introduced the name of the dish to Jialin and the others, and also said that Wan Yu had already inherited 80% of his true skills!

A typical nine dishes and one soup...

The meaning is perfect.

There are also four hard dishes.

Finally, Wan Yu brought up a wooden barrel: "This is Shaotian rice, a staple food unique to Pandaria!"

Elder Yin Bocheng took out a can of wine from the cabinet at this time: "Chen, Jialin, let's have a drink, this is Pandaren green plum wine, it's very strong!"

At this time, Lili shouted, "I want to drink, too! I want to drink, too!"

Seeing this, Old Chen smiled and took out another bowl and poured half a bowl of plum wine for Lili.

"Father……"

Legolas carefully tugged at the corner of Galen's clothes, his purpose was self-evident.

"I told you, underage kids are not allowed to drink. If I catch you, I'll beat your ass."

Legolas and Arator covered their hips nervously after hearing this: "Why can Lili!"

"Because her last name is Stormstout, a descendant of a wine-making family. Even a child can drink as much as a dwarf. You can't do that." Alleria comforted the two children.

At this time, Wan Yu gently replied: "Children, it doesn't matter if there is no wine to drink. I have prepared hot papaya milk for you in the pot. It tastes good too!"

"Oh yeah!"

With the temptation of desserts and drinks, the children happily served food to the adults, and when everyone sat down at the table, Legolas and Arator frowned again.

Because there is only chopsticks on the table.

Although they had learned how to use chopsticks during the few days on the Lost Island, they were still not proficient in it.

This is a kind of cutlery that requires extremely high grasping skills, and their father is very strict and does not allow them to grasp it with their palms and use it as a fork, claiming that it is the method of monkeys.

Seeing that the old panda man, big brother Wanyu, Uncle Chen, father and mother had already started eating, the two brothers could only smell the delicious dishes on the table and try hard to remember how to use chopsticks, pick up the dishes they liked and eat them in one bite!

Woo!

The little half-elf had also experienced the cuisine of Stromgarde Palace and Quel'Thalas, but when the salmon meat entered their mouths, the delicious taste almost penetrated their taste buds, allowing them to experience what their father had said about food exploding on the tip of the tongue.

"Hehe, Brother Wanyu, the food you cook is better than Uncle Chengbo's!"

"That's right, Brother Wanyu, your cooking skills are miles better than my father's!"

"As long as you like it!"

Facing the children's praise, the brocade fish man Wan Yuyu couldn't hide the smile on his head, and his eyes were narrowed into a line.

Jialin was also enjoying it. It was the first time he had Chinese food again after so many years.

Although he would cook some of his own food in his spare time over the years, it was difficult to collect usable seasonings in the Eastern Continent and Kalimdor. He could only make some simple stir-fried dishes with oil and salt. It had been a long time since he had such a rich dish like today.

Alleria and Sylvanas enjoyed it just as much. When they were at the Wandering Isle, Garen told them that the Pandaren's cooking skills were the best in Azeroth. Unexpectedly, the level of the old Pandaren's apprentice had already surpassed their expectations.

Both the host and the guests enjoyed the meal very much, but the alcohol content of the green plum wine was indeed very high. Elder Yin Bocheng was old and finally could not withstand the effects of the alcohol, so he went upstairs to rest early.

The next morning, Garin and his companions prepared to leave Shanglila Village for travel. Rexxar was used to traveling alone, so he chose to travel alone. The pandas from the Lost Island stayed in Shanglila Village temporarily to repair some damaged warships.

Before setting off, the old panda suggested that Wanyu be their guide.

Garin agreed with this point very much. After all, who could refuse a guide with excellent cooking skills?

"Mr. Jialin, Mr. Chen, I wonder where your destination is?"

Wanyu's personality was so gentle that Jialin once thought that he was a female Jinyu.

In fact, this is the unique character of the Jinyu people. They deal with water spirits every day and are responsible for managing the water flow in Pandaria. This leads to the Jinyu people having this soft character.

This has led to their generally low combat effectiveness. Although they are as tall as the night elves, their combat effectiveness may not be as good as the murlocs who once ravaged Southsea Town!

"There is a ruin of a Mogu fortress in the north, and there is a Tianchan Temple not far away, or we can visit the Qinglong Temple."

"However, Tianchan Temple was once the royal temple of the Panda Empire, and there are guardians living in Qinglong Temple. It is difficult for ordinary people to enter these two places without permission. If you don't have a goal, we can take you to visit my hometown, Zhufin Village in the south, which is also very beautiful!"

Jialin pondered for a while and decided to find Zhou Zhuo first, and then visit the strongest person in the Emerald Forest.

Although Shaohao dissolved the Pandaren Empire and decentralized power to local areas, allowing the Pandaren villages to be independent of each other and rely entirely on self-governance, this ethnic group still has a political system that is higher than the villages, and that is the belief represented by the temples.

There is Azure Dragon Temple in the Jade Forest, Suzaku Temple in Krasarang Jungle, White Tiger Temple in Kun-Lai Summit, and Niuzao Temple in Townlong Steppes, forming the structure of Azure Dragon in the East, Niuzao in the West, White Tiger in the North, and Suzaku in the South.

These four great temples have a great influence on the Pandaren and even the Jinyu people. Coincidentally, Jialin has a way to get in touch with them and make them obedient.

In this way, Garin can have a special identity in Pandaria, the patron of the four gods.

Basically, wherever I go, the panda people there will rush to treat me, instead of saying I will treat you next time!

"Let's go to the Cave of Thousand Words first, Wan Yu."

"Hiss, Thousand Words Cave!"

The Jinyu boy was a little confused.

"What's wrong, Wanyu?"

"It's close to the Gulujin Monkey Mountain where the monkeys live. We could easily be attacked by those cunning villains!"

The intelligence of the hozen is not inferior to that of humans, but the wildness in their blood makes them aggressive and they are naturally stubborn. Once their numbers in the tribe increase, they will become bolder and bolder, and they will evolve from stealing chickens and dogs to attacking Pandaren villages.

But these were just the tactics of robbers and could not stop Garin.

"It's okay, Wanyu. We have the best brewmaster and the best archer. Even if we face thousands of monkeys, we can still escape unscathed."

Monkeys are just a group of rabble who only bully the weak and fear the strong. They are good at fighting when the wind is favorable, but once they meet someone stronger than them, they will scatter.

Wanyu hesitated for a long time, and finally agreed to lead the way to Qianyan Cave where Zhou Zhuo was.

They headed west, bypassing a large area of ​​mountains.

On the top of the mountains, Jialin used his powerful eyesight to see the green tiles and flying eaves, carved beams and painted buildings.

That is Tianchan Temple, where Shaohao once studied.

However, now is not the time to go there. After visiting the Azure Dragon Temple, Garin plans to arrange for the Pandaren on the Lost Island to practice for a period of time, and by the way, see if he can recruit some people to form a corps of monks.

The population of the Wandering Isle is still too small, and the combat power that can be mobilized is limited. If you want a large number of monks, you have to go to Pandaria.

After they passed through Tianchan Temple, Wanyu began to become cautious.

"The hozen won't easily approach areas where pandas live, because they can't defeat the monks who guard the villages, but once they find someone intruding into their territory, they will appear in groups."

As expected, Wan Yu had just finished speaking when a stone fell from the sky. Jialin reached out and grabbed the stone!

When I looked up, I saw that the green woods were already filled with monkey-like creatures.

"They are coming! Run, they live in groups, run!"

Wanyu shouted in panic!

"Don't panic, my friend!"

Jialin calmed the Jinyu people's fear.

As soon as things got quiet here, the monkeys in the tree started moving.

First, there were rocks flying all over the sky, but Garin counterattacked with a magic shield to protect everyone.

"Jinyu people! Jinyu people!"

"Don't let the hairless monsters go, kill them!"

"The second rule of the Hozen Law is that all intruders must die!"

"Kill!"

Along with noisy calls, those weird monkeys with bared teeth jumped down from the trees. Garin estimated that there were at least hundreds of them.

They rushed up in large numbers with crude weapons.

"Humph!"

Jialin drew out a Green Dragon Crescent Blade, which was a long-handled weapon he had asked the village guards for when he left Xianglila Village.

Leaving Alleria and Sylvanas to protect the children, Garin and Lao Chen rushed out.

Originally, Jialin would not have bothered to bully these monkeys, but he had to show off his new Green Dragon Crescent Blade for fun.

Jialin was waving his Green Dragon Crescent Blade, Lao Chen was waving his monk's staff, and hundreds of monkeys were lying on the ground in less than a minute.

“Dad is awesome!”

"Uncle Chen fights well!"

Jialin and Lao Chen were relatively merciful and only beat the monkeys until they rolled on the ground.

Garin grabbed the strongest monkey with one hand and lifted him up.

The monkey was still wailing:

"Ah! We were beaten to a pulp..."

"Shut up! Take us to your leader, or I'll break your neck!"

"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!"

After being thrown down by Garin, this monkey who looked like the captain endured the severe pain in his body and limped towards the depths of the forest, looking around as he walked to see if Garin and the others were following him.

After they walked away, the monkeys that had been knocked down just now struggled to stand up, supporting each other and following behind them from a distance.
