Spring hunt, summer seedling, autumn hunt, and winter hunt are collectively called the Four Hunts, which are based on the differences in the four seasons. Before the birth of these four concepts, demons had not become a serious problem for wizards. At that time, the wizards hunted The main targets are various magical creatures, such as fire dragons, green luanans, giant kuns, snakes, and even savage giant tribes.
Spring search means spring search, hunting unpregnant magical creatures. Pregnant creatures cannot be hunted; because spring is the breeding season for most magical creatures, in order to avoid drying up the lake and fishing, you must learn to hunt in a limited way. Similar to Yes, the nurturing period is also within the scope of exemption.
Summer seedlings means hunting magical creatures that harm magical herbs and potions in summer. Because summer is the most prosperous growth stage of most magical plants, wizards need a large amount of magical herbs to prepare potions for daily use, so they must protect those plants from Infestation by various magical creatures is inevitable.
Autumn 狝, in line with the chilling atmosphere of autumn, hunts those plump wild animals in the season when the vegetation is withering. There is an old saying that "on the day of 狝, you will predict the coming year", which means that the day when you start hunting in autumn, you will predict the coming year. Is there anything I need to be careful about, such as foreign enemies, bad luck, etc.?
Winter hunting means hunting, and anyone can be hunted without distinction. Magical creatures that come out and wreak havoc in winter are very dangerous to wizards. Just like First University's annual winter hunting, it is to prevent the raging of the Silent Black Tide in the coming spring. .
Of course, now, no matter whether it is a pregnant mountain ghost or an unpregnant mandrill; whether it is a human bear stealing red fruits or a kappa chewing madder; it does not matter whether a certain bird has broken wings or a certain green Is it because Chi is too fat to fly? In short, all magical creatures can no longer be hunted casually and must follow the hunting regulations set by the alliance.
Therefore, Chunsou Qiuyi has long been unworthy of its name.
Moreover, to this day, only those wizard families who have inherited it for a long time still retain the ancient tradition of the "Four Hunts".
But as time goes by, these ancient traditions have also changed subtly. Most notably, the four hunts have gone from formal, large-scale wizard hunting to various mergers, refinements, and rituals. In other ways, it gradually turned into some kind of social and festive occasion.
Just like the "Shanglin Garden Spring Hunting" that Zheng Qing participated in this time, it is the product of the combination of the ancient "Spring Hunting" and the "Dasou Li". It is a stage for young disciples of wizard families to socialize and socialize under the spring sun.
"Young disciple? Haruhi?"
Zheng Qing listened to the introduction of the witch in his ears, looked at the smiling figures around him, and softly repeated the identities of the protagonists on this stage with a slightly subtle expression.
At this moment, he and Jiang Yu had arrived at the hunting ground of Shanglinyuan Spring Hunting, and had just landed at a place called 'Luolongyan'. The environment here is not beautiful. It seems that it was once a valley, with rolling hills and dense forests in the distance. , there are huge bare stone mountains nearby that are like small hills, like fingers stretching out towards the sky.
There was thick fog above the head, rolling hundreds of meters above the ground. The furry dragon he and Jiang Yu were riding on fell from the sky and walked through that fog for a long time.
Zheng Qing guessed that the fog should belong to one of the protective barriers of Shanglin Yuanchun Hunting Ground, or that the fog was the barrier between the hunting ground and the real world.
Because of the fog, the sun can't be seen here, and the light seems a bit cold. You can't feel the beauty and vitality of spring hunting at all. This is why Zheng Qing heard Jiang Yu mention the terms "young people" and "spring".
There are some subtle reasons for the expression when speaking a word.
The witch may know what he is thinking.
"Do you know what day tomorrow is?" She took his arm and led him slowly towards the direction where there were fewer customers, tilting her head at the same time with a bright smile on her face.
It was still early in the day and the spring hunting had not yet begun, but many of the guests who came and went had already put on their gorgeous dresses, looking around for familiar or unfamiliar faces, and starting preliminary interactions.
In order to avoid trouble, Zheng Qing and Jiang Yu behaved extremely low-key. Although they wore ceremonial robes, they also wore wide hoods, covering most of their faces under the hoods. Therefore, when Jiang Yu was tilted
When he turned his head to look at Zheng Qing, he could only see a small part of her fair face and fresh lips.
Looking at that bright smile, Zheng Qing felt as if his eyes were being stung, and he subconsciously retracted them.
"What day? Weekend?" He tried to keep his voice calm, but the arm held by the witch unconsciously tightened a little, and the steps under his feet became much stiffer.
"The equinox tomorrow!"
There was a bit of anger in the witch's tone, but she still explained happily: "When I was a child, I always thought that the name 'Spring Hunt' simply comes from the four seasons of hunting, taking the first word of Spring Hunt, Summer Miao, Autumn Monkey, and Winter Hunt.
And the last word... But now I think a more appropriate understanding is 'spring hunting', or it can also be interpreted as 'spring hunting' or 'silly hunting', depending on how you position yourself. Because in
In this kind of hunting ground, clever hunters often appear as prey, and only those stupid guys think that they are hunters."
Zheng Qing licked his dry lips, surprised by the "extremely indecent" words she used in what she just said. He always felt that there was something in the witch's words.
"I won't dance with anyone else." He tried to express the profound meaning he understood.
"You can dance with whoever you want." The witch turned her head, looked into the distance, and replied lightly: "This kind of occasion does not have many constraints and rules. Don't set too many restrictions for yourself..."
Zheng Qing can be sure that this sentence needs to be listened to in reverse.
Jiang Yu didn't seem to feel the mechanical pace of the boy beside him, and led him towards the edge of Luolong Rock: "...In short, Shanglin Garden Spring Hunting is an annual social feast for the wizard families or noble wizards in the alliance.
Young people socialize here and elders trade here. There are many opportunities worth looking forward to, so I suggest you don’t miss it.”
"The spring search has turned into the spring hunt in Shanglin Garden. What about the summer seedlings, autumn mongoose and winter hunt?" Zheng Qing racked his brains and finally found an opportunity to change the subject quietly.
"Xiaomiao has evolved into the World Cup. This year's Boer World Cup will be held in June. Well, we happened to be at the end of the semester at that time, so we probably won't have time to participate."
The witch clasped her fingers and counted them one by one: "The Autumn Monkeys are in Mulan, known as 'Mulan Autumn Monkeys'. They are mainly the hunting teams of nobles competing with each other; there is also the Badmington Winter Hunting, where the nobles compete with them under the moon."
The vassals will participate... You can definitely think that the Spring Hunt in Shanlinyuan belongs to the Wizards' Council, and the Winter Hunt in Badmington belongs to the Moonlight Council."
