Chapter Seventy-Nine: Hunting Wedding Customs

According to the custom of the Tianyuan Dynasty, the newlyweds need to go to Fengming Mountain to hunt a game together on the second day. It can be all kinds of birds, or rare birds and animals, but if the bride likes it, it is a "farewell gift" given by the groom to his new wife.

The woman who married another woman's bid farewell to the naΓ―ve and ignorant girl in the boudoir, and since the wedding night, she has been reborn as a real woman, sharing joys and sorrows with the person who knots her hair, and holding hands for a lifetime. A man who is a husband and a gentleman must prove his strength to the bride, to be able to shield the person in front of him from the wind and rain, and to protect her from the safety and smoothness of her life.

In the afternoon, after Jun Qianyu and Jiuxi went to Jimo to ask for tea, the two rode the batch of jujube red horses from yesterday's wedding and went hunting to Fengming Mountain.

Because it is a big wedding custom, and it can be regarded as the love between newlyweds, Jiuxi and Jun Qianyu did not bring their attendants to follow, only two people and one horse, and drove towards Fengming Mountain.

Immediately bumped, Jiuxi's body was last night and today all afternoon, and he couldn't help but feel sore, listless on his little face, and he was drowsy by Jun Qian.

Because she is the bride, Jiuxi still wears a crimson moire corset today, and Jun Qianyu changed back to a dark robe, one dark and one crimson are intertwined, quite the pride and wanton of the children of the rivers and lakes.

Hunting bows and arrows were placed on both sides of the horse, and the two rode away together to face the bright spring sun.

Jun Qianyu used one free hand to fix the girl's little head, which was swaying from side to side due to drowsiness, on his chest, and slowed down in a good mood, leisurely walking the horse to enjoy the scenery along the way.

"Doll, what prey do you want? The young man in Xuanyi could see that he was in a good mood, Xu was full of food last night, but today he was different from the listless girl, and he had strong energy.

A slender hand stroked the girl's head, squinting and lazily rubbing Jiuxi's soft long hair.

"I want to ......"

"Huh?" The voice behind her was too quiet, Jun Qianyu didn't hear it clearly, and approached her slightly and asked again.

"What do you want?"

"Red-eyed Snow Lion!" Jiuxi remembered the purpose of this trip and slightly dispelled his sleepiness, moved his body to find a comfortable position, looked up at the handsome young man who was a head taller than her, and repeated, "I want a red-eyed snow lion." ”

Jiuxi has an obsession with the red-eyed snow lion engraved in her bones, and she may not even realize it.

When she was still a snow-white group, Ji Mowei often took the unmarried young officials of the DPRK and China to Fengming Mountain to hunt, and returned with a full load.

Once she learned light skills with Lang Le, and she achieved a little success, and it was no problem to fly the eaves and walk the wall. I heard that the maid said that His Majesty had returned from hunting, so she went to ask her mother for praise on her short legs.

Fang ran into the Yujing Garden, and fell in love at first sight with another hairy snow-white dumpling in the cage after Jimo Fang came back from hunting. However, when Xiao Xuetuan implicitly begged for it from his mother with a delicate little face, Ji Mo Wei tilted his head and thought about it, maybe it was to weigh a moment between Zuo Xiang and his own daughter, or with a wave of his hand, he directly sent someone to send the hairy snow-white dumplings to Zhongli Zuo Xiang's mansion.

Xiao Xuetuan watched the hairy snowball that he had just fallen in love with at first sight being sent out of the palace like this, and his mother didn't realize that this was the first time she asked her for something as a daughter, and refused neatly without hesitation, and an inexplicable swelling of soreness swelled in her heart, a pair of fluffy and always playful eyes gradually mist, Xiao Xuetuan held her mouth sullenly and returned to her Chihua Palace, her face was always rainy and rainy, and Langle coaxed for a few days and didn't get better.

A few years later, Jiuxi thought he had forgotten about it. But when he went to Zuo Xiang's Mansion for lunch that day and was about to leave, he saw a group of guards carrying a cage in front of the mansion, and a white lion with snowy fur was locked in it.

It's the hairy snowball she has been thinking about since she was a child, but this is a majestic adult snow lion, a big hairy snowball.

Jiu Xifang remembered that Lang Le later told her that the hairy snowball she fancied was a unique cherished divine beast of the Tianyuan Dynasty, with white fur like snow on its upper and lower bodies, and the only pair of crystal bright beast eyes were full of red like blood.

It is named for this reason, the red-eyed snow lion.

A few days later, she quietly heard the guards under Jimo Wei talk about the whereabouts of the little hairball, and sure enough, she was sent to the Zuo Xiangfu by her mother. However, Lord Zuo Xiang took pity on it for being too young and weak, and fed it in the house for a few days and then sent it back to Fengming Mountain.

At that time, she originally wanted to ask Langle to go to Fengming Mountain with her to hunt another one, hide it and raise it herself, but before she could talk to Langle, she was taken outside by him. Later, when I came back, I gradually forgot about it.

If it weren't for the fact that she saw the old thing repeating itself in front of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion and met the adult red-eyed snow lion, she really thought that she had forgotten this "first love".

However, this matter in her heart after all, there is a little bit of uneasy and inseparable obsession, perhaps it is due to the inferior nature of human beings, that is, what cannot be obtained is always in turmoil, so thinking of the inherent marriage customs of the Tianyuan Dynasty to come to Fengming Mountain to hunt, Jiuxi's first thought is the red-eyed snow lion.

Jun Qianyu was teased by her serious and stubborn expression that she couldn't even sleep, and rubbed the forehead hair on the top of her head into a messy fried hair, and then straightened it out, so that she didn't play with her hair, but played with her hands.

A pair of small hands are white and slender, slightly skinny, not as chubby as in the impression, but still soft and boneless, very easy to pinch.

"Why do you want a red-eyed snow lion?"

He galloped his horse indifferently, holding the reins in one hand and kneading her hand with the other, and asked with his ear spitting hot air beside hers.

Jiuxi didn't intend to tell him that she was still a little indignant about what happened when she was a child, so she remembered it, and it was too embarrassing to say this, even in front of her rightful husband.

"The red-eyed snow lion is mighty and domineering, and only by hunting it back can you show the majesty of Your Majesty the Sovereign. Jiuxi pretended to be casual and said casually, and then poked Jun Qianyu's chest with his head and his head.

"Is that okay, Shao Twilight. ”

Seeing her expression and movements, Jun Qianyu also understood a little in her heart. Hooked his lips and smiled, raised the small hand he held in the palm of his hand to his lips, and imprinted a light kiss.

"It's all up to you. ”

put her hand down and continued to hold it in the palm of her hand to play, and glanced at a certain place in her eyes, playing with the taste: "The tips of the ears are red again." ”

Hearing this, Jiuxi leaned back on his chest again, pretending not to pay attention to him.

The tall and lush trees on Fengming Mountain are said to have a history of more than 1,000 years, and they still guard this land through wind and rain, and have never aged with the years.

Fengming Mountain covers a large area, the terrain is rugged and deep, so there are many birds and beasts in the mountain, and there are many varieties and countless varieties.

Whether it is the nobles of the court or the common people, they often come to Fengming Mountain to hunt when they have free time. The aristocratic officials were for a pastime, and the cloth cloth was for a livelihood and to improve their lives.

However, there is no one in Fengming Mountain today, and all the officials and people know that His Majesty the female monarch will come here to hunt with Fengjun today, and they don't want to disturb the interest of the second monarch, so they tacitly disturb the future in the future.

There is a large deep forest on the mountain, and the trees are tall and obscuring the sky, so the light is thin and the shadows are abundant. I can hear the chirping of all kinds of luan birds in the forest habitat, but they are just ordinary birds. Jun Qianyu inherited the soul of the fire phoenix when he was young, and he had the blood of the royal vein of the Yu clan in his body, Bi Fang, Peacock, Chongming, Fat Legacy, Shengyu, and all kinds of gods and birds saw the submission.

As soon as the fire phoenix came out, a hundred birds were facing the phoenix, crawling without singing.

But now that he is a mortal, he has saved a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Jiuxi looked up at the colorful luan birds standing in the treetops in the forest, and swept away the previous drowsiness and exhaustion, but he was quite interested.

"Have you ever heard of any mythical birds in ancient times?"

Jun Qianyu saw that she had recuperated, looked at the birds in the forest intently, and asked.

He took her to Qingping Mountain before, but he introduced all the mythical birds of the Yu clan to her one by one.

"Phoenix, Jinwu, Bi Fang, Chongming, Ghost Car ......" Jiu Xi said slowly, he had seen these in some anecdotes before, but the days were long, and he couldn't remember it clearly.

"The phoenix is not a mythical bird. Jun Qianyu interrupted her and patiently explained, "The Yu clan has a bird emperor, called the phoenix, divided into two clans, one is called the fire phoenix and the other is the ice phoenix. ”

"However, the Ice Phoenix Clan has become extinct, so only the Fire Phoenix Clan is left in the royal vein of the Feather Clan. ”

"Why extinction?"

"The ice phoenix has a cold aura in its body, and it can't withstand a trace of heat, nor can it see the sun. A ray of sunlight will also melt their flesh and feathers, and their physique is too fragile, so the Ice Phoenix clan lives in bottomless underground ravines all year round. ”

"It is rumored that there was a natural disaster thousands of years ago, and the fire lasted for seven days. In that natural disaster, the Ice Phoenix clan was wiped out. ”

"It's a shame. Jiuxi said regretfully.

"If it still exists, I really want to see it, ice is bone, snow is flesh, it must be a very beautiful bird. ”

"yes, it's beautiful. Jun Qianyu echoed casually.

"Are there any other unusual birds?" Jiuxi was intrigued by him and looked up at him.

The red horse slowed down and walked leisurely through the forest. A ray of sunlight shines through the trunk of the tree that shades the sky, casting a halo of light, creating a small shadow of light.

The young man in Xuanyi sat upright on the horse, holding the reins in one hand and playing with the little hand of the girl in red in his arms with the other.

"There is a kind of divine bird, which has transformed from chaos since the beginning of Hongmeng, and is called the blue bird. Have you ever heard of the doll?"

Jiuxi shook his head: "Blue Bird, I haven't heard of it, the name is quite ordinary, how is it different from ordinary divine birds?"

Jun Qian said: "The blue bird is different from the ordinary feather clan, it is separated from the feather clan, living in the chaotic void, and it can only be born when the heaven and earth destroy the world, and its bloodline is ancient, and it is beyond the reach of the most senior gods in the upper realm. ”

Jiuxi suddenly, but he felt a trace of intimacy with this unheard of blue bird in his heart, but he didn't ask anything.

Seeing that the time is not early, they still need to find the red-eyed snow lion as soon as possible and hunt it back to the palace as soon as possible.
