Chapter 22 The End of the Moon Hunt

November 11th.

Tuesday.

The fourteenth day of the tenth lunar month.

Suitable for offering sacrifices, praying for blessings, opening markets, and traveling;

Taboo: burial, well digging, property purchase.

This is the eleventh Tuesday since Zheng Qing entered the school, and it is also the first full hunting moon he has experienced. From October 17th to today, including Saturdays and Sundays, a total of twenty-six days, the First University’s 2008 academic year ‘College Cup’ competition will come to a successful conclusion today.

Although calculated in terms of days, this year’s Hunting Moon is slightly shorter than in previous years, and it is not yet a full moon. This is because on the one hand, the surrounding area of ​​the school is not peaceful and the clouds are treacherous; on the other hand, the next day on Wednesday It happens to be the Xiayuan Festival. According to regulations, schools have a day off. Some classes in Atlas College will hold a disaster relief meeting. Many wizard families also want to offer sacrifices to the dead and pray to the Xiayuan Water Official to relieve their worries. At the same time, according to ancient customs, wizards The Alliance has the tradition of banning hunting, banning slaughter, and delaying the death penalty date on this day.

In addition, today is an auspicious day, the most suitable for offering sacrifices and praying for blessings, so the school has designated this day as the end of this year's Academy Cup Hunt.

For this reason, the divination classes this morning have been cancelled.

The closing ceremony of the hunting competition is scheduled for 9:30 in the morning. After finishing his morning classes in the morning, Zheng Qing did not go back to the dormitory. Instead, he sneaked directly to Shushan Hall, picked a corner away from the sun, and sat down to study the making methods of the two talismans.

Ever since he returned to his dormitory from Su Shijun's laboratory last weekend night, he was greeted by endless inquiries, curiosity and groundless speculations - after all, in Fatty's view, apart from Zheng Qing, there seemed to be no second university in the First University. A boy who has this honor can be favored by the beautiful girl Su many times.

Yes, the fat man used the word "favour" in front of Zheng Qing.

If there weren't a few pairs of eager eyes next to him, Zheng Qing would have made that damn fat man pay the price for what he said.

However, there are many curious people, and Zheng Qing will finally give a reasonable explanation. So he raised his head and pulled out many decent excuses such as 'two-dimensional experiment' and 'shadow accident'.

Although these reasons can withstand investigation, and Zheng Qing went to Su Damei's laboratory for this reason, not everyone who heard this explanation believed it.

In order to avoid these annoyances, Zheng Qing continued the routine of last week in the past two days, and became more and more serious - entering the classroom with the bell ringing during class, rushing straight to the library after class, and taking lunch to the lakeside forest where there were few people. At night, everyone was stunned and quietly crawled back to their own beds - in short, one word "prompt" used time to calm everyone's curiosity.

If it weren't for the fact that as a publicly funded student of Jiuyou College and the captain of the Exoneration Hunting Team, he had to attend the closing ceremony of the school hunting party, Zheng Qing wouldn't even want to go to this morning's ceremony.

Nine o'clock in the morning.

Zheng Qing took out his pocket watch, looked at the slowly rotating hands on the silver dial, and sighed deeply.

Time, time, is the most helpless concept. No matter you are an ordinary person or a magician, you cannot escape being surrounded by those few pointers. I heard that those who are above the level of a great wizard can interfere with time, but that is nothing more than a legend to a young public-funded student.

He put away his pocket watch, put all the reference books on the table into a gray cloth bag, and ran out of Shushan Hall.

During the morning exercise, he asked Dr. Xiao Da to occupy a seat for him.

Go now, not too early, not too late, just right.

The location of the closing ceremony is still Hunting Ground No. 1.

When Zheng Qing arrived at the venue, the surrounding stands were already filled with spectators - including students from four grades from four colleges, some spectators with invitation letters from outside the school, and VIPs on the rostrum.

Su Shijun should be sitting on the podium.

As he squeezed towards the stands of Jiuyou College, Zheng Qing couldn't help but have this idea in his mind. At the same time, he was also a little annoyed. In the morning, I was only focused on avoiding the eyes of others, but I forgot to go to the petting zoo to pick up Poseidon. It has been shouting and watching the fun for a long time. I wonder if it will complain to Beauty Su next time I go to Qingqiu Guild Hall.

With these messy thoughts, listening to the exciting and sweet hunting music in the morning glory, and amid the waves of figures and sounds, Zheng Qing finally squeezed through the crowd and came to his seat.

Compared with other parts of the stand, it was a little quieter here - because the morning flowers behind the chairs were blocked with cotton - several guys from the Exoneration Hunting Team were gathered in a small circle, chatting secretly.

Zheng Qing quietly leaned over and listened for a long time, only to find out that they were discussing the final outcome of the gang fight between Jiuyou College and Alpha College a few days ago.

To be precise, it was Fatty Xin, a reporter for the school newspaper, who was revealing some unpublished 'inside' information to several of his companions.

"...The joint meeting of professors held three closed-door meetings and finally concluded that what happened in the hunting ground had nothing to do with us." Fatty Xin whispered in a somewhat mysterious tone: "It is said that the professors confirmed that there were people in the stands at that time. 'Things' are causing trouble..."

"Things? Making trouble?" Zhang Jixin cracked his knuckles and twisted his neck, with a look of impatience on his face: "Speaking hesitantly, mumbling, squirming... it's not smooth at all!"

"Say what you said!" The fat man suddenly became unhappy and replied to Elder Zhang.

"But," Xiao laughed out loud, interrupting the quarrel between the two, and questioned: "Who would cause trouble at a hunting party of a group of students? What good would it do him if two colleges fight!"

"Who knows...the wizard is not mentally normal after doing too many experiments, and the tide is coming back in the Silent Forest. Who knows what weird things will come from the river." Fatty Xin took out a bag of peanuts from his watch. He started chewing and added vaguely: "Of course, it cannot be ruled out that someone is really fishing in troubled waters... According to statistics from the school pickets, many students lost things during the melee between the two colleges..."

"In other words, the professors are not sure whether the trouble is caused by wizards or magical creatures in the Silent Forest?" Xiao Xiao bit his pen and concluded.

"Bingo!" The fat man rubbed his greasy fingers with a dull snap.

"You haven't said what the final punishment will be!" Zheng Qing finally couldn't help it and asked aloud.

Several members of the Forgiveness Hunting Team turned around in surprise and saw their captain.

"Hey, isn't this Captain Zheng... Why are you here in a remote corner like ours if you're not sitting with Beauty Su on the rostrum?!" Fatty Xin asked with a smile while chewing peanuts.

"Stop talking nonsense." Zheng Qing angrily squeezed him away, sat on his seat, and then tilted his head and asked: "The two colleges threw curses at each other, how did they deal with it in the end?"
