The song and dance were nearing the end, and a full moon had already slowly moved overhead, sprinkling a silvery white. Although the early summer night is a little cool, the breeze is also pleasant. Yun Chuan looked at the vast grassland in front of him, and such a large circle of people seemed extremely small at the moment. If it weren't for the constant noise of clinking glasses in my ears, if it weren't for the troubles that have been coming one after another in the past few days, it would be a beautiful thing to enjoy the full moon and drink comfortably until I get slightly drunk in this halfway up the mountainside.

Just thinking wildly, the last piano note gradually disappeared, and there seemed to be a fire shooting towards the sky below, and Yun Chuan and Bai Cheng both stood up curiously and poked their heads down. It turns out that there is a circle of hanging furnaces around the strange stones, after the singing and dancing, the hanging furnaces are lit, the raging flames are tumbling upwards, and a circle of flames surrounds the strange stones, looking from above, it is really like a round sun that is about to burn.

"The sun and the moon are bright, ice and fire are blended, a thousand years of prosperity, and all kinds of prosperity." Witton Khan stood up, raised his glass and looked up to the sky, his resounding voice piercing the night sky, and the emerald mountains reverberated again and again.

The desert soldiers raised their halberds and struck them on the ground, repeating in unison, "The sun and the moon are bright, the ice and fire are blended, the prosperity of a thousand years, and the prosperity of all kinds." "The trombone blew and pierced the night sky.

Everyone present below was infected by this exhilarating atmosphere, and they all stood up in unison, raised their glasses to the desert leaders above, and drank them all. Yun Chuan was taken aback by this formation, she didn't know the arrangement of this marble conference, and it was the first time she heard her father and soldiers shouting such slogans. Thinking of the conversation with his father about "snatching and taking" in the afternoon, Yun Chuan couldn't help but feel a little melancholy, could it be that his father had already made up his mind? Even so, there is no need to be in such a hurry to declare the world, you must know that the people on the other side are all from all over the world, and the envoys of the Wei Dynasty led by Wang Chengyu are probably among them, and these sixteen words will definitely be spread all over the world by various assumptions. I don't know what kind of preparations my father made, if he really wants to raise troops to attack the city, why do he need to tell him in advance? Thinking of Wang Chengyu, Yun Chuan remembered that when he had just walked around the stage, he didn't seem to see this person.

"I'm Ashina. Wittun, the sixth Khan of the desert Tusang, on behalf of all the compatriots in the desert, welcomes all the heroes of the world to gather in the Yueshi tribe to appreciate the strange stone holy scene. Witton Khan raised his glass again, "Heroes, this is the first time we've met, and many of us are setting foot here. You also see that this is not the barren and deprived of the people that everyone has heard, but our land, just like you, under the same sun and moon, all things grow and flourish. Our people also live and work in peace and contentment, disgusted with conquest, do not like war, we only hope to protect this land and water, our fathers and grandchildren, and live in peace and stability. ”

After Witton Khan finished saying this sentence with deep affection, all the soldiers also cheered, causing the people in the rivers and lakes to applaud as well. Yun Chuan looked at the back of his father Wang Wei'an, and he couldn't figure it out, what did his father want to cover up? Is it just that I am thinking too much?

Witton Khan motioned to the leaders of the three clans to raise their glasses again: "It is a great blessing in life to have the honor of witnessing the full moon of the strange stone with the heroes of the world today. Let's pick up the wine glass again, the first glass of worship to the world, the majestic eternal green! ”

"The second cup is for heroes, and the wind is cold!"

"The third cup of respect, the moon and the stars shine in the world!"

After each cup of drinking, the drummer beats the drum nine times, which is magnificent, which is the highest ritual of the desert tribe to worship the sky. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, the people from the Central Plains would probably not have imagined that there was such a majestic guard of honor in this remote northern desert. Perhaps in what they have heard, the northern desert is barren, homeless, monestic, and wild beasts, if it were not for the rumors of treasure clues 700 years ago, who would have trekked thousands of miles into this group of "uncivilized" barbaric places?

When the full moon is in the sky, the whole strange stone is shrouded in a piece of moonlight. Looking down from the halfway point of the mountain where Yunchuan stands, if the circle of fire around the strange stone is likened to the scorching sun, it is indeed the sun and the moon.

The last drum beat vanished into the night sky, and Witton Khan raised his hand at the drummer below, and there was silence around him, and hundreds of pairs of eyes below looked at Witton Khan in unison.

"We are fortunate to invite the abbot of Shaolin Temple, the master of the Diamond Sutra, and ask him to solve the mystery of the treasure for us for nearly a thousand years." After Witton Khan finished speaking, he turned around, and the precept who had been sitting behind him on his right side slowly got up, dressed in a robe, pious and indifferent.

"Please ask the abbot, Xia Yi Hada Khan, and Prince Ying, the eldest grandson of Xiyu, to unveil the strange stone curtain for us." The three leaders got up in unison, and together with the precepts, surrounded by dozens of guards, they walked down from the square platform to the strange stone. Although the desert people are burly, they are also very short under this strange stone, and the tall Witton Khan is less than half the height of the strange stone.

When Witton Khan and his party walked to the strange stone, the guards pushed out four wooden stairs with wheels and placed them in the four directions of the strange stone, and the four of Witton Khan climbed a staircase, which was just at the same height as the strange stone.

The drums sounded again, and the atmosphere was intense again. Yun Chuan, like the hundreds of people here, had no idea what would happen next, but his whole state surged to the rhythm of the drums. "Bai Yan, do you know what else is next? Who thought about it, the formation is really unusual! Yun Chuan bumped Bai Cheng with his arm, his eyes still staring down without blinking.

"I don't know very well, these are all done by Uncle Helian Wang and Brother Huo Ming, I have listened to it twice, it is too complicated, all kinds of changes have been made, I am too lazy to participate. Today, it seems to be completely different from what I knew before. Bai Cheng whispered.

"Then when was this treasure determined? Didn't it all say it was nonsense before? Yun Chuan asked.

"Hey, I remember the original plan was for our race to gather together by ourselves and see this rare strange stone falling from the sky. But since the appearance of this strange stone, the treasure has become more and more divine, and there are rumors that we Tusang are going to steal the treasure and counterattack the Central Plains. I don't know how Uncle Wang and Da Shu reached an agreement, and in the end, they simply confirmed the treasure rumors, we are responsible for inviting people from all over the world to appreciate the strange stones, and Da Shu came forward to invite the master of precepts to find out. But it's okay, whether the treasure is real or fake, it has washed away the suspicion that we want to keep it alone. Bai Cheng said in wonder, "Sister Yunchuan, do you really have a treasure?" We have been under the Yuncui Mountain for so many years, how could such a big round stone suddenly appear? ”

"You don't know that you have such a great opportunity to participate, what can I know? We haven't had any major affairs in the desert over the years, and in the future, you will be the next generation of our Tusang Yelu King, so you should be more involved. Yun Chuan glanced at Bai Cheng with care, looked at him with an innocent face, and didn't want to blame him too much, comparing his heart to his heart, he was not the same, and he could hide as far as he could for the things between these ethnic groups.

"It's not that I didn't participate, I was responsible for the invitations from various tribes. When I went to deliver the invitation, Uncle Helian told me that if I asked about the rumors of the treasure, it would be nonsense. Hey, I don't know how much it took me to talk about this. You don't know, the affairs of our four major ethnic groups look peaceful, but the interior is too cumbersome, anyway, my father is healthy, so I'd better steal it and be idle. Besides, won't you still have Brother Huo Ming and Sister Yunchuan with me in the future! Bai Yan smiled disapprovingly.

"I'm probably not as good as you. But you're not unreasonable, and it's never too late to worry about that day. Yun Chuan patted Bai Cheng on the shoulder, and then asked, "By the way, I remembered when it came to invitations, how many invitations were sent from the Central Plains?" On the way here, I also met a lot of people and horses from the Great Flood Envoy, why don't I seem to see them now, and the Great Flood Envoy should not be specially entertained? ”

"The invitations of those people in the Central Plains were personally arranged by Uncle Helian Wang, who has lived in the Central Plains for 20 years and knows the situation there best. However, this time, the envoy team of Da Shu has not arrived except for your friend, so it may be lost, I heard that someone has been sent to search for it in the afternoon. I don't know what kind of grass people they sent, the first time we opened the door to them, they can all get lost! Bai Qian said contemptuously.

"Oh" Yun Chuan replied softly, although she didn't want to meet Wang Chengyu on this occasion, but Wang Chengyu's team disappeared together, it was not as simple as getting lost.

"Wow, Sister Yunchuan, look at it, strange stones!" Bai Cheng pulled Yun Chuan's sleeve and said in surprise.

As the four of Witton Khan climbed the stairs, the four of them lifted the curtain of the strange stone at the same time, and the strange stone finally revealed its true face. Sure enough, it was a huge round gray stone, and the stone was uneven, except for such a round huge stone, which was indeed rare, and the others seemed to be nothing amazing.

There is already a lot of noise below, and everyone's views may be somewhat similar to Yunchuan. Do you come all the way to see the world's largest round stone?

The four of Witton Khan ignored the noisy chatter around them, and watched as the master of the precepts seemed to bow his head and give orders, and several guards pushed the stairs around the strange stone. After circling the circle, the Master of Rings motioned for Witton Khan's staircase to approach, and he whispered in Wittun Khan's ear, who nodded frequently.

"Everyone be quiet, after careful observation by the master of the precepts, this strange stone is indeed consistent with the clues recorded by King Xuan of the Yin Dynasty back then." Witton Khan shouted to the people around him, and the noise around him made the guards stationed next to him also increase their vigilance and clench their swords.

"Isn't this just a big rock? We have a lot of resources in the Central Plains, and bigger stones can be chiseled out than this. The crowd was full of voices.

At the instigation of the troublemakers, some people rushed forward from the back row, and wanted to rush forward to see what was going on, but the guards had to raise their swords and halberds to stop the crowd that wanted to enter the strange stone.

"Doesn't it mean that the master of the precepts can unravel this secret in conjunction with the Diamond Sutra? What are you still doing? "Quite a few people have jumped up on the desk and started to splash with the strength of the wine.

"It turns out that the so-called heroes of the rivers and lakes are nothing more than Erer. I said before that it has nothing to do with the treasure, you don't believe it, you have to rush to see it, and now you feel that you have suffered a loss after eating and drinking for nothing? Yun Chuan said sarcastically, his eyes unconsciously drifted in the direction of Yang Qingyun, Yang Qingyun looked like he had nothing to do with himself, sitting on the side of the desk and looking at him coldly.

"All things are like dreams and illusions, like dew and electricity, and should be viewed as such. All the Dharma is like a dream, like a phantom, like dew and like electricity, and should be viewed as such. The master of the precepts folded his hands, and far-reaching voices poured out from the dantian, wave after wave, and the whole was deafening.

When the people who were still irritable heard this, they all gradually calmed down, and looked at the master of the precepts in unison, waiting for his next move.

"Chiefs, please stand back." The Master of Discipline said. When everything was ready, he picked up a torch from the guards and lit the stone.

There were no sparks flying, no raging fire, but a flash of fire that spread like a flash of fire around the strange stone field. The strange stone instantly turned into a huge red ball, glowing red like a blazing sun.

"All things are like dreams and phantoms, like dew and electricity, and should be viewed as such." Yun Chuan silently recited the words of the master of the precepts, and thought to himself that the four verses of the Diamond Sutra that say "everything is empty" imply that this strange stone is just a fantasy? That's why the master of precepts let it burn out?

After the master of the precepts lit it, he turned his back to the strange stone, still clasped his hands together, and said something in his mouth. A round of "red sun" behind him reflected his robe glittering, this scene is like the Buddha Yun Chuan saw in the temple in the border city, which makes people feel awe, even if there are thousands of questions, it cannot be refuted. Sure enough, hundreds of people in the audience were no longer noisy, and some people also looked at the master with their hands folded, as if they were conducting a supreme worship.

"If everything is empty, then what is this strange stone? And what is the treasure? Yun Chuan muttered to himself.

"Sister Yunchuan, what are you talking about?" Bai Yan was silent for a long time, listening to Yun Chuan whispering on the side, and asked curiously.
