Chapter 835 34. Legend of the Seven Demons (Part 2)

In the side hall of Qinglong Temple, the children gathered around Zhou Zhuo, a traveler with a simple and honest personality and witty words, listening to him tell ancient and profound stories.

Lorewalkers are all knowledgeable and talented people. Zhou Zhuo doesn't need Dornan's soul link, but he can already tell the story about the turning point in Pandaria's history to the children in fluent common language, and he plays the piano well. Those beautiful and changeable music accompaniments also make Zhou Zhuo's story more fascinating.

Even the soldiers of the Federal Marine Corps who stood at the door and were responsible for protecting the children couldn't help being immersed in this story about Emperor Shaohao saving the world.

"Shaohao and the Monkey King have traveled many paths. He asked many people with great wisdom, but when he became tired, he still found nothing."

"So after Shaohao returned to the Jade Forest, he knew that he and others were just mortals. To save his country and the world, it was far from enough to use mortal wisdom."

"He came to Qinglong Temple with the most sincere attitude, asking for the help of Yulong, the God of Wisdom, and Yulong did not disappoint Shaohao. This powerful creature who existed here in ancient times told Shaohao:"

Speaking of this, Zhou Zhuo cleared his throat, and described in a majestic voice what Yulong told Shaohao back then:

"Emperor of the Pandaren, to save others, you must first save yourself. You must release the burden on yourself, calm your mind, and let yourself be in harmony with the land of Pandaria. After the unity of heaven and man, use this The power that the earth already possesses, to protect it and the people it nurtures."

"ah?"

Anduin, who was listening to the story, scratched his hair. The child looked at Sister Taelia next to him with a puzzled expression, and asked in a low voice:

"What does this mean? Does Yulong not want to help Shaohao? Why does she say these things?"

"Hush! Don't talk, listen to the story!"

Taelia reached out and knocked Anduin on the head, and Zhou Zhuo also said with a smile:

"That's right, little Anduin, when Shaohao heard these words, he was as puzzled as you. Although he knew that the Wisdom God would not deceive him, this mysterious and unpredictable answer made Shaohao feel confused again. Falling into deep confusion, he ponders day and night, what is the burden that he has to let go of? How to clarify his mind? Most importantly, how can he achieve the unity of man and nature?"

"These unanswerable questions entangled Shaohao, but even with Shaohao's outstanding wisdom, he still couldn't understand the mystery of Yulong's words."

"What's even more frightening is that this horrible feeling of being unable to penetrate the mystery made Shaohao extremely depressed!"

Zhou Zhuo's fingers plucked on the strings, and in the deep and dignified music, Lorewalker frowned and said:

"Shaohao was thinking: Is it because he is not capable enough? If he is not capable of saving his own people, it means that he is not worthy of the throne of emperor! This terrible sense of frustration and powerlessness has almost become Shaohao's inner demon, All kinds of negative emotions caused by this accumulated into pressure, which made Shaohao almost out of breath, really, he felt that he was about to be unable to hold on."

"However, the reason why heroes can become heroes is not only their own outstanding talents, but also because they have people with the same wisdom walking with them."

Zhou Zhuo's expression became more relaxed, and the sound of the piano burst out from his fingertips also became lighter, as if it symbolized that the turning point of the story had arrived:

"Remember Shaohao's good friend, the great king of the hozen, the Monkey King?"

"This kind-hearted hozen full of courage and hope felt anxious when he saw his good friend so depressed, so the Monkey King decided to use some toys inherited from the hozen to help Shaohao reduce his stress."

"He came to the Jade Forest, and cut bamboo for a show, probably to amuse Shaohao, so the Monkey King made a funny and weird mask out of these bamboos, and he sneaked up to Shaohao with the mask, and then suddenly Appearing, the repressed Shaohao was startled, but when he saw the weird mask worn by the Monkey King, the stressed Shaohao couldn't help laughing, he took the mask from his friend, Then put it on your face."

Speaking of this, Zhou Zhuo stopped on purpose, and under the urging gaze of the children, Lorewalker laughed and said:

"It worked!"

"That magical mask absorbed all the doubts in Shaohao's body at this moment, and made Shaohao full of confidence again. Shaohao and the Monkey King were very curious about this unexpectedly magical magic mask, but they were about to embark on a journey again. So Shaohao buried the mask in the garden of his palace, hoping to bury his doubts like this, but... something even more terrifying happened that night."

"A doubt-creating monster appeared in Shaohao's palace, and many people were infected. They were filled with doubts, and under the pressure of doubts, they began to hurt others."

Lorewalker's voice became hoarse:

"Shaohao and the Monkey King possess unique skills. The two of them quickly suppressed the chaos with their own strength, and then quickly found the culprit of all this. It was the mask they buried... Doubt, This negative emotion was constantly magnified, and finally formed a reality, turning into a monster that caused disasters everywhere, and even for strong men like Shaohao and the Monkey King, it took them a lot of time to subdue that monster."

"It's an energy creature with the appearance of a black goat. Its whole body is covered with black, corrupt tentacles. On that ugly and distorted appearance, there are seven malicious eyes! The most terrifying thing is that it cannot be completely destroyed. To be eliminated, it can only be sealed by a long time!"

"And after defeating that monster, Emperor Shaohao was like enlightened. He finally understood what Yulong meant. Wisdom Tianzun wanted him to eliminate the negative emotions like doubts in his heart one by one, so that he could truly clear his heart. , and finally reach the realm of the unity of man and nature, and then gain the ability to save Pandaria."

"And that monster that raises doubts..."

Zhou Zhuo glanced at Vanessa, who was still pale, and said softly:

"It is called "Sha" by Shaohao, the Sha of Doubt, and that is also the chief culprit who disturbed Vanessa's little girl, but don't worry, child, in the dojo of Wisdom Tianzun, the Sha of Doubt can't hurt you."

"Oh, Shaohao defeated Sha? Is that the end of the story?"

Yuna grabbed Zhou Zhuo's beard with some dissatisfaction. This story has just started to get exciting, why did it end like this?

Lorewalker was very embarrassed and pushed Yuna away. While stroking his precious beard, he said:

"This is the first Sha. Don't worry, children, the story is only half told."

"There are seven evil spirits in Pandaria, which represent the seven negative emotions of intelligent life. These seven negative emotions exist in every soul, and they are the shortcomings that we cannot get rid of when we are born. This is what Shaohao wants to achieve. The realm of human unity, the seven shortcomings that must be conquered."

Zhou Zhuo said to the children with a solemn expression:

"Sha demons are born with the help of people's negative emotions. Once they form entities, they will become stronger and stronger as they exist longer and longer. After understanding this, Shaohao and the Monkey King set off immediately , They know that to deal with the difficult Sha Demon, they must rely on the power of the Four Holy Beasts."

"They came to the Red Crane Temple in the Krasarang Forest as quickly as possible, asking for the help of Chi-Ji, the God of Hope. Red Crane Chi-Ji symbolizes the hope that will not disappear in the pandaren civilization, and they still rely on the Monkey King With the miraculous mask cut out, Shaohao drove out the "despair" hidden in his body, and that despair formed the "Sha of Compassion" on the square of the Red Crane Temple. It was a more powerful monster! Because despair is stronger than Doubt is scarier."

"Even if Shaohao, the Monkey King, and Red Crane were gathered together, it took them four days and five nights to knock down the Sha of Despair, seal it in the Red Crane Temple, and let hope guard despair."

"Shaohao and the Monkey King once saw the horror of the Sha Demon with their own eyes. They didn't dare to waste time. Even though they were very tired, they still arrived at the Xuanniu Temple on the Mantis Plateau beyond the Serpent's Spine at the fastest speed, to protect the Heavenly Lord. After hearing Shaohao's request, Niuzao joined Shaohao's side without hesitation. In this way, with the joint efforts of the two gods and two heroes, it took them 8 days to seal the Sha of Fear .”

Zhou Zhuo's speech speed became faster, which seemed to symbolize the climax of the story:

"Shaohao and the Monkey King have noticed that after the first Sha Demon appeared, the other Sha Demons became stronger and stronger. Relying on them alone, even with the help of Tianzun, it is difficult for them to survive before the doomsday. Save the whole of Pandaria, but Shaohao already has countermeasures..."

"As the emperor, he announced to the pandaren of Pandaria that he gathered the most brave, fearless, and most able to restrain the negative emotions in the pandaren, and then in the name of the emperor, he formed them into " "The Shado-Pan", these legendary monks who heard of the great sacrifice of the Emperor, volunteered to follow in the Emperor's footsteps, so Shaohao led the mighty Shado-Pan to the last leg of his journey."

"That is the White Tiger Temple where the mightiest of the Four Heavenly Venerables, White Tiger Xuen, is located. It is at the foot of Kun-Lai Mountain. In that holy place, Emperor Shaohao and the Monkey King personally demonstrated to the Shado-Pan fighters how to subdue the terrifying Shamo, and with the help of the most powerful mighty Tianzun, Shaohao successfully sealed all his remaining "violence", "anger" and "hatred" in the majestic Kun-Lai Mountain."

The Lorewalker's voice became deeper and deeper:

"In this way, Shaohao sealed all his negative emotions, he really clarified his heart, and at this moment, he also knew the final meaning of Yulong's words, he knew what he should do , to save this land.”

"etc!"

The one who interrupted the story this time was Taelia, the most stable of the children. The warrior girl said with a puzzled look:

"Zhou Zhuo, didn't you say that there are seven shamos in this land? Emperor Shaohao only expelled 6 shamos here?"

"right!"

Dornan also counted his fingers and said:

"Doubt, despair, fear, violence, anger, hatred... 6! One more! Your story is wrong!"

"No! No, children, this is the story. Don't worry, listen to me slowly."

There was a trace of sadness in Zhou Zhuo's eyes, and he said softly:

"Emperor Shaohao already knew what he was going to do. He began to use the little time left to arrange the ceremony to save the Pandaria continent, but at this moment, he suddenly realized a problem... according to his If we try to save the continent, wouldn’t even the cruel and cunning mantid, the old enemy of the Pandaren and Pandaria, be saved from the inevitable destruction?”

Having said that, Lorewalker thoughtfully explained to the children:

"Children, you may not know that since ancient times, the pandaren and the mantid have been fighting against each other all year round, and the hatred is terrible. Even Emperor Shaohao, who has eliminated negative emotions, can hardly make it easy. Such a "merciful" decision."

"The mantid, that is a terrifying insect-like life. I don't know when it started. Every hundred years, they will attack the Great Wall of the Serpent's Spine crazily. Every time the mantid invades, Both will bring terrible disasters to pandaren and other creatures, but even before the pandaren empire, the terrifying and powerful mogu empire could not eradicate the mantid... This has almost become a reincarnation of Pandaria. "

"Well. It's like humans and orcs, like empires and Darkblades, we understand."

Dornan explained to Zhou Zhuo:

"When you go to the Federation with us and spend the history recorded in the big library, you will understand these hatreds."

"Well, well, since you can understand, then I will continue."

Zhou Zhuo nodded, he let out a long sigh:

"Emperor Shaohao didn't know whether he should save those brutal mantids, or improve the ritual, and let those mantids be completely destroyed in the natural disaster. However, when he was hesitating, the Monkey King who had been following Shaohao He opened his mouth and said: The mantid attack Beaulieu's Spine every hundred years, this incident is already an inseparable part of Pandaria, and it is precisely because of the invasion of the mantid that the other creatures of Pandaria are closely united, if there is no Mantid, even if Shaohao saves the continent, other civilizations will soon fall apart, causing even more terrible chaos."

"So, although the relationship between the pandaren and the mantid is difficult to ease, it is equally inseparable. If Shaohao doesn't save them, he won't be able to save the pandaren himself."

"The Monkey King's reminder is just right. So far, all the knots in Emperor Shaohao's heart have been opened, and he is ready to meet the coming terrifying doomsday."

Zhou Zhuo's story has come to an end, and his zither sound became desolate and withered just like the curtain had come to an end:

"On that day, the sky of the whole world was completely enveloped by that terrifying dark green flame as predicted in the prophecy. Although Shaohao sent an envoy, unfortunately, that envoy could not even see the Elf Queen Everything happened irreversibly, and the people of the entire pandaren empire looked at the sky in horror, they were terrified."

"But Shaohao didn't. The last emperor already knew his mission. He held the staff of the dragon mist and calmly walked into the altar in his palace, the hall of the legendary Yongchun Terrace. He held the staff high in his hand At this moment, the entire land of Pandaria was awakened by Shaohao, who was one of heaven and man, and it seemed to have its own consciousness. In the scream of the earth breaking that day, this continent, under Shaohao's instructions, unexpectedly slowed down. Slowly torn from the roads of Kalimdor."

"It's like a refuge, and Shaohao's spellcasting has not yet ended, the mist... Following Shaohao's call, endless mist surged out from the sea, like layers of the most solid barrier , protected Emperor Shaohao's most cherished land and people from that world-destroying natural disaster, the whole Pandaria cheered, everyone laughed, celebrating their remaining life after the catastrophe."

Zhou Zhuo's expression became even more gloomy:

"However, at this moment, Emperor Shaohao, who saved Pandaria, was about to return to his throne full of satisfaction, and at this moment, a special emotion came to his heart, which Emperor Shaohao never realized an emotion of..."

"That's, deadly...pride..."
