Spring search, summer seedlings, autumn seedlings, and winter hunting are collectively called the Four Hunters, which are based on the differences in the four seasons. Before these four concepts were born, demons had not yet become the wizards' confidant troubles. At that time, the main targets of wizards were various magical creatures, such as fire dragons, green phoenixes, big Kuns, ba snakes, and even barbaric giant tribes.
Spring search means spring search, hunting magical creatures without pregnancy, and creatures that have pregnancy should not be used as hunting targets; because spring is the season for most magical creatures to breed, in order to avoid fishing in the dry pond, you must learn to hunt for a limited amount. Similarly, the nurturing period is also within the exemption range.
Summer seedlings means hunting magical creatures that harm spiritual herbs and potions in summer. Because summer is the most prosperous stage of most magical plants, wizards need a large amount of spiritual herbs to mix magical potions for daily use, so it is imperative to protect those plants and trees from invasion of various magical creatures.
Autumn shining, in accordance with the solemn and slaughtering energy of autumn, hunting those plump wild animals in the season when the plants and trees are withered. The old saying goes, "The day of shining, the ring of divination for the next year" means that on the day when the hunt starts in autumn, you should see if there are any things you need to be careful about in the next year, such as foreign enemies, bad luck, etc.
Winter hunting is to hunt, without distinction, and you can hunt. Magical creatures that are still raging in winter are very dangerous to wizards. Just like the first university every winter hunting, it is to prevent the silence and dark tide of the next spring.
Of course, now, whether it is a mountain ghost or a water stalk that is not pregnant; whether it is a bear that steals the fruit, or a kappa that eats mad grass; whether it is a bird that has broken its wings or a green dragon that cannot fly because it is too fat, in short, all magic creatures can no longer be hunted casually and need to follow the hunting regulations formulated by the alliance.
Therefore, the spring search and autumn charm have long been unworthy of their reputation.
Moreover, to this day, only those wizard families that have been passed down for a long time still retain the ancient tradition of the "Four Hunters".
However, as time goes by, these ancient traditions have also changed in the subtle influence of time. The most obvious thing is that the four hunters have gradually changed from formal, large-scale wizard hunting behaviors, through various mergers, refinements, ritualizations, etc. to some social and festive occasions.
Just like the "Shanglinyuan Spring Shou" that Zheng Qing participated this time, it is the product of the combination of the ancient "Spring Search" and "DaSu Li" and is the stage for young children from the wizard family to connect and communicate under the spring sun.
"Young kids? Kasumi?"
Zheng Qing listened to the introduction of the witch in his ear, looked at the smiling figures around him, and repeated the identities of the protagonists on the stage softly, with a subtle expression.
At this moment, he and Jiang Yu had arrived at the hunting ground of Shanglinyuan Chunshou and had just landed in a place called "Luolongyan". The environment here is not beautiful. It seems to have been a valley, with rolling hills and dense forests in the distance, and huge stone mountains as bare as small hills, like fingers stretching towards the sky.
There was thick fog above his head, rolling hundreds of meters above the ground. When the Maolong he and Jiang Yu were riding fell from the sky, they had been walking through the fog for a long time.
Zheng Qing speculated that the fog should belong to one of the protection barriers of Shanglin Yuanchun Hunting Ground, or that the fog is the barrier between the hunting ground and the real world.
Because of the fog, the sun cannot be seen here, and the light also seems a little cold, and the beauty and vitality of spring hunting cannot be felt at all. This is why Zheng Qing’s expression was a bit subtle when he heard Jiang Yu mention the words “Young Children” and “Spring”.
The witch might know what he was thinking.
"Do you know what tomorrow is?" She held his arm and walked slowly towards the direction where guests were fewer, while tilting her head, showing a bright smile on her face.
It was still early and the spring hunt had not yet begun, but many of the guests who had come and go had already put on gorgeous dresses and searched everywhere for familiar or strange faces, and began to communicate in the initial communication.
To avoid trouble, Zheng Qing and Jiang Yu were particularly low-key. Although they wore robes, they also wore wide hoods, covering most of their faces under the hood. Therefore, when Jiang Yu tilted his head to look at Zheng Qing, he could only see her small white face and tender lips.
Looking at the bright smile, Zheng Qing felt that his gaze seemed to be stung for a while, and subconsciously shrank back.
"What day? Is the weekend?" He tried to keep his voice calm, but his arm held by the witch unconsciously exerted a little harder, and his steps under his feet became much stiffer.
"Tomorrow's Spring Equinox!"
The witch had a little anger in her tone, but she still explained happily: "When I was a child, I always thought that the name 'Spring hunting' came from the first and last words of hunting in all seasons, taking the first and last words of spring, summer seedlings, autumn, winter hunting... But now I think the more appropriate understanding is 'Spring hunting', or it can be interpreted as 'Spring hunting' or 'Silly hunting', which depends on your positioning. In this kind of hunting ground, skilled hunters often appear as prey, and only those stupid guys think they are going to be hunters."
Zheng Qing licked her dry lips, surprised by the few "extremely indecent" words she used in her words just now, and always felt that there was something in the witch's words.
"I won't dance with others." He tentatively expressed the profound meaning he understood.
"Drive with whoever you want." The witch turned her head, looked into the distance, and replied lightly: "There is no limit on constraints or rules in this kind of occasion. Don't set too many rules and regulations for yourself..."
Zheng Qing can be sure that this sentence needs to be heard inversely.
Jiang Yu didn't seem to feel the mechanical steps of the boy beside him, and led him to the edge of Luolongyan: "... In short, Shanglin Yuan Chunshou is an annual social feast for the wizard family or noble wizards in the alliance. Young people are in harmony here and elders trade here. There are many opportunities worth looking forward to, so I suggest you don't miss it."
"Spring has become the spring hunting in Shanglinyuan, where are the summer seedlings, autumn hunting and winter hunting?" Zheng Qing racked his brains and finally found an opportunity to change the topic without moving.
"Summer seedlings evolved into the World Cup, and this year's Boolean World Cup was held in June. Well, we happened to be the end of the period at that time, so we probably didn't have time to participate."
The witch swayed his fingers and called them one by one: "The autumn roar is in Mulan, called the 'Mulan Qiu roar', mainly because the noble hunting team competes with each other; there is also the Badmington Winter Hunting, which is more because the Moon Under the Nobles and their vassals... You can completely believe that the Shanglinyuan Spring Hunting belongs to the Wizards' Council, and the Badmington Winter Hunting belongs to the Moon Under the Council."
