Saying goodbye to "Uncle" Chen with rolling eyes, a group of four set off for the last stop of today's tour - the Zen Stick Forest.

On the way to the Zen Staff Forest, Shang Xi, who had been rambling about introducing the customs of the Wandering Isle before, finally started to talk about serious matters.

"I think, you should have heard the legend about Shen-zin Zi and Liu Lang from Cheng Bo's mouth, right?"

Valeera nodded first and replied: "Yes, that great adventurer's experience is very legendary, and Shen-zin Zi's growth is really amazing."

Shang Xi smiled and nodded: "Who would have thought that the little sea turtle that could only accommodate one person at the beginning would grow to the size of a small island in the end?"

When it came to business, Shang Xi gradually straightened his expression and began to tell the ancient stories related to Shen-zin Zi.

"More than 800 years ago, a newborn baby turtle broke out of its shell on the turtle beach in the Krasarang Jungle in Pandaria."

"This little turtle grew up day by day under the care of his parents. At a special point in time, he met the most important friend in his life—the panda man Liu Lang."

"Because of Pandaria's special growth environment, most pandaren have learned to suppress their curiosity since childhood, but Liu Lang is an exception."

"He hopes to leave Pandaria shrouded in mist and explore a wider world outside."

"By chance, Liu Lang discovered that his sea turtle friend could always find the beach where he was born. From this, he came up with a bold idea."

“‘If I go out on an adventure riding a turtle, maybe I can also use the turtle’s instinct to find its way home through the fog and return home.’”

"The idea is set, and Liu Lang, who is very active, intends to put his idea into practice and start shopping around for the materials needed for his adventures."

"One day, when he came to the Valley of the Four Winds Banshanji to buy necessary items, Shenzhen, the owner of Shenzhen's grocery store, suggested that he carry an umbrella with him when he went out, and generously gave him a bamboo umbrella for free."

"To express his gratitude, Liu Lang happily assured Boss Shenzhen that he would name his sea turtle friend after him."

"From then on, the little turtle got the name that will accompany him all his life, Shen-zin Zi."

Shang Xi's story stopped here, and he smiled and said to the three Salayan who were fascinated by listening: "You have all heard the story after that."

"Liu Lang spent his entire life traveling around Azeroth."

"Every five years, Liu Lang will rely on Shen-zin Zi's instinct to recognize the way and return to Pandaria to replenish the substances. Every time, he will take away some of his compatriots who are as adventurous as himself, including his wife Xin Ci."

"Among the pandaren who generally have a lifespan of only 80 years, Liu Lang is considered to have lived a very long life. He lived to be 122 years old."

"At that time, Liu Lang could no longer continue to take risks. The tired and old Liu Lang came here for the last stop—the Zen Staff Forest."

During the narration of the story, the four of them have arrived at the sacred place of the Wandering Isle, the Forest of Rods.

Shang Xi caressed gently on a towering giant tree with strange shape.

"At the last moment of his life, Liu Lang sat in the forest, opened the bamboo umbrella that had accompanied him all his life, and inserted it into the ground."

"Liu Lang sat under the umbrella to enjoy the cool and dozed off countless times in the past, but this time, he never woke up again, his body was integrated with the earth, and the bamboo umbrella grew into the tallest on the Wandering Isle over the years. Big trees."

"That's the big tree in front of you."

Sarlayan looked up at this vibrant tree, and sighed with emotion: "So that's how the tradition of the Zen Staff Forest came about, and I've learned it."

Shang Xi said without hesitation: "One day, I will also leave my Zen staff in this woods, forever guarding the residents of the Wandering Isle, and guarding Liu Lang's never-ending adventurous spirit."

"It's here, it's here."

Continuing to the west and walking out of the edge of the Zen stick forest, a giant sea turtle head with half-closed eyes and drooping eyes appeared in front of the four of them.

Shang Xi held his Zen stick and continued: "After Liu Lang died, Shen-zin Zi continued to carry those descendants who inherited Liu Lang's adventurous spirit to adventure around the world."

"But since the day Liu Lang died, Shen-zin Zi has never returned to her hometown of Pandaria."

"It swims in the sea without stopping, spends less and less time awake, dozes off most of the time, and finally falls into a deep sleep that cannot be awakened one day."

"Even so, Shen-zin Zi continues to swim subconsciously, and the concept of 'adventure' given by Liu Lang throughout his life has been integrated into its blood and has become an instinct."

Sarlayan carefully looked at the head of the sea turtle that was still breathing slowly, and asked with a serious expression, "Master Shang Xi, why did Shen-zinko fall into a deep sleep?"

Shang Xi smiled and waved his hands: "It's not such a complicated reason, so don't overthink it."

"It's simply because it's so old."

"Common sea turtles are a bit older than pandaren, with an average age of 120 years."

"Shen-zinzi is not an ordinary sea turtle. It belongs to a group that is more intelligent and has a longer lifespan."

"But Shen-zin Zi can't live forever. When she lived to be around 300 years old, she was already very old. She just instinctively continued to swim in the sea, and she didn't want the adventurous spirit left by Liu Lang to stop there."

"In order to ensure that she can continue to persevere, Shen-zinko took the initiative to enter a long deep sleep, it sealed the operation of the brain, and used all the remaining body energy to move the limbs."

Shang Xi said solemnly: "It's not difficult for you to wake up Shen-zin Zi, the difficult thing is how to ensure its life continuation."

"Please forgive me, if Shen-zin Zi's awakening will be at the cost of the end of his life, we would rather this big turtle who inherited Liu Lang's spirit never wake up, so that at least it can continue to cherish the memory of that long-gone dear friend. "

Sharlayan rubbed his chin thoughtfully: "Self-seal to prolong life... So that's how it is."

Sharlayan looked back at Valeera, his strange eyes made Valeera a little puzzled.

"Why? You don't expect me to figure it out, do you?"

Sharlayan smiled and shook his head: "That's not true, I've already thought about it, but I just think it's a bit of a coincidence."

Valli and Leian turned their gazes, and saluted Shang Xi respectfully.

"Master Shang Xi, I understand what the Wandering Isle wants."

"Please rest assured, we will not wake up Shen-zin Son rashly at the cost of his life."

Shang Xi sighed lightly: "Actually, why don't we want to go back to Pandaria to recognize our ancestors?"

"Before Shen-zinko entered a deep sleep, she once said that once it is awakened from a deep sleep, it means that its life will enter an irreversible countdown, and it will not be able to enter a deep sleep again to relieve it."

Sharlayan nodded knowingly: "I have a way to get the best of both worlds, but before that, I need to make some preparations~lightnovelpub.net~Master Shang Xi, where is the Wandering Island now? Mako is approaching Northrend, north of Azeroth?"

Shang Xi was a little confused, but he still answered Sharlayan's question.

"According to the calculations of the sea chart left by Liu Lang, Shen-zin Zi is currently sailing northward in the southeast of the maelstrom, and it will take about a week to reach the vicinity of Northrend."

"A maelstrom..."

Sharlayan lowered his head and pondered for a moment.

"Stella, what distance do you need to reach to teleport me to Wyrmrest Temple alone?"

Stellagosa tilted her head in doubt: "Should...you can teleport it near the Broken Isles, and you suddenly asked this... ah."

Stellagosa turned her head to look at Shen-zinko who was drooping her head, and quickly glanced at Valeera who didn't know why, her eyes revealed a look of surprise.

"Don't tell me, do you want to go to His Majesty Alexstrasza to ask for the blessing of life?"

Sharlayan smiled and nodded: "Originally, I planned to think about my personal affairs after returning from Pandaria, but who knew that the plan could not keep up with the changes."

"If we want to wake up Shen-zin Son without harming his life, we must first ensure that it has sufficient vitality."

The ice-snow and smart Valeera gradually came back to her senses, and looked at Sharlayan with flickering eyes. She also knew what Sharlayan wanted to do on this trip.

Sharlayan put on a funny expression on purpose, and messed up Valeera's soft blond hair.

"Don't be so moved, this time can only be regarded as a coincidence, not just for you."

Valeera, who was still emotionally agitated, was forced to cool down instantly, and slapped Salayan's hand away angrily.

"Can't you just say a few words that make me happy? In this kind of atmosphere, you still have an accent. You really deserve to be a straight man of steel..."
