The group led five horses out of the stable, and everyone got on the horses neatly and followed Lan Haihua out of the palace.

The palace is located at the foot of the Cangli Mountains, and there is a spacious and straight forest road at the entrance of the palace, and you can reach the foot of the Cangli Mountains by riding along the forest road for about half an hour.

It was not the first time for Lan Haihua to participate in the winter hunt, and she was quite familiar with the terrain near the palace, and she rode a horse to lead the crowd forward, and along the way, she could see many people who came out to walk their horses, as well as many soldiers who were making various preparations.

"You can only move around the periphery today," Lan Haihua skillfully bypassed the erection sign placed by the soldiers, "You come with me, I know there is a good scenery." ”

The four people who followed closely looked at the surrounding environment, although it was winter now, but the foot of the Cangli Mountains was still lush and lush, which was really a spectacle.

"Because the aura here is abundant," Lan Haihua did the same thing during her first winter hunt, so she understood everyone's thoughts and explained, "So the plants, trees, flowers and fruits here are verdant and lush all year round." ”

After another quarter of an hour, she finally raised her hand and signaled that everyone could dismount.

There was a small green lake in front of him.

Everyone tied their horses to the trunk of a tree and walked towards the small lake in amazement, Lan Haihua smiled, "This is a hot spring, you can see the surface of the lake, and it is still steaming." ”

"Such a beautiful place," Jiang Shuli reached out and touched the hot spring water, and sure enough, it was hot, "How did you find it?" ”

Lan Haihua laughed at herself, "When I came to winter hunting last year, everyone didn't believe that I was a woman, so I came out to ride a horse when I was depressed, and I didn't want to see this hot spring." ”

The five of them sat down next to a boulder on the edge of the hot spring, and Zhou Jiaying patted Lan Haihua's shoulder, "If you are depressed this year, come to me, and I will relieve your boredom!" Lan Haihua, tell us about winter hunting? ”

Lan Haihua nodded happily, "Winter hunting is divided into three major areas, and there are many ordinary beasts in the first area, some gentle and some fierce. Gentle like rabbits and pheasants, fierce like tigers and black bears, you name it. ”

The first stage of winter hunting is actually the warm-up stage.

All participants in the Winter Hunt are free to combine to hunt down prey in Zone 1, with the most precious prey hunted in one day rewarded by the royal family.

The second stage of winter hunting, which is also the second largest area, is not so simple.

"There are all kinds of fierce beasts in it," Lan Haihua said solemnly, "The Tiger Bear Blind is the most common breed in the second stage, and there are not a few giant python vipers, the point is that there are also first-order demon beasts." ”

The first-order demon beast is a monk equivalent to the first-level level of the qi training period, because the demon beast is ferocious, it is often no worse than the second-level monk of the qi cultivation period.

Everyone inhaled, it turned out that the winter hunting was so big! It's no wonder that the monks who participate in the winter hunt every year are so enthusiastic, and there are very few opportunities to face demon beasts in the mortal world.

"Is the second stage still a free combination?" Zhou Jiaying was curious.

Lan Haihua shook her head, "In order to encourage people who don't have spiritual roots to participate, the second stage of winter hunting will be carried out in groups of five. ”

Each group consists of a mortal without a spiritual root, two monks who practice Qi at the first or second level, and two monks who practice Qi at the third level or above.

"The composition of each group is determined by drawing lots," Lan Haihua explained in detail, "After dividing the group, enter the second largest area of the Cangli Mountains, and the group that hunts the most prey will win for two days." ”

"Two days?" Li Shiqing covered her mouth, "Wouldn't that mean you want to stay in the mountains and forests overnight?" ”

"That's natural," Lan Haihua smiled, "and many women don't participate because of the overnight stay." ”

"What about the last big area?" Jiang Shuli asked, "Will it go deeper into the Cangli Mountains?" ”

"That's right."

The third stage is to enter the third largest area, because deep into the Cangli Mountain Range, there are many demon beasts from the first order to the third order, and the danger is quite large, so monks below the third level of qi cultivation are not allowed to participate.

"The third phase lasted from three to five days," Lan Haihua participated in last year, and was very aware of the situation, "I heard that in previous years, some monks took seven days to come out of the area. ”

"No wonder the timing of winter hunting is always uncertain, I'm afraid it's because of the uncertainty of this third stage?" Hu Xinyue asked.

Lan Haihua jaw head.

Jiang Shuli asked again, "Will anyone be injured?" ”

"Yes." Lan Haihua nodded affirmatively, "Monks who enter the third stage will distribute a teleportation talisman, and after pinching it, they can instantly return from the third region to the second largest area. ”

"Then it's a lot safer, the second largest area is not as dangerous as the third area after all."

"Yes, there are many royal friars patrolling the first and second areas, so that the wounded can be cared for at any time."

It turned out that Winter Hunt was like this, and everyone understood it, and their hearts also swelled with anticipation.

On the way back, Lan Haihua took everyone back from another trail, and when she passed by the post station, she stretched out her hand from afar and pointed to a simple shed next to the post station, "There is a mountain and water bean curd stall there, and the bean curd sold tastes amazing, do you want to taste it?" ”

The crowd happily went.

The bean curd stall is really simple, there are only five or six square tables in it, and there are a lot of people-

"Ouch! Isn't this Miss Jiang? ”

As soon as everyone got off the horse, they saw Gonggong Peng greet him with a smile and greet everyone, "Do you want to come and drink a bowl of bean curd?" Come on, please. ”

More enthusiastic than the boss of Douhua.

"The bean curd here is made of that mountain spring water, the taste is sweet and delicious, you can put peanuts, you can also use red beans, I don't know what flavor you girls like?"

More familiar than the boss of Douhua.

"Come to six bowls of bean curd," Lan Haihua directly, "put on a bowl of various marinades, and add them yourself." ”

"Okay!"

directly robbed the job of the boss of Douhua.

"Sister!" Jiang Shuli and the others walked into the stall and saw that all the people present were participating in the winter hunt.

Two of the tables were joined into one table by sitting younger brothers Jiang Shucheng, Li Xu, Li Chu, as well as Cheng Lanyuan and Lu Yin.

Peng Dasheng was fast, and went over there to find the boss of Douhua to place an order, and here he ran over and pulled a table to form a table in the shape of a 'product'.

The chairs were pulled up and everyone was invited to take their seats.

Jiang Shuli was very happy to see his younger brother, and asked in a whisper about the situation in the past two days, and heard that Li Xu took a lot of care of him, so he generously thanked him in public.

Li Xu hurriedly waved his hand, "I can't thank Shuli so much for a trivial matter, Shucheng is very close to me, if only I had such a big brother." ”

Ouch, heed my good master!

Peng Dasheng, who was standing behind, scratched his head, you still have several imperial brothers, so it is not a good thing if it falls into the ears of others.

Li Chu on the side coughed lightly, fanned elegantly with a folding fan, and casually glanced at the elated Zhou Jiaying when he looked at Li Shiqing, "Eighth Emperor Sister, where are you from?" ”
