The Yellow River is the second longest river in China and the fifth largest longest river in the world. It originates from Kariqu on the northern foot of the Bayankala Mountains on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in Qinghai Province. It flows east into the Bohai Sea, with a total length of about 5,464 kilometers. This river flows in the shape of a "ji" is one of the most important birthplaces of the Chinese nation, and the Chinese call it the "mother river".

In the long history of 5,000 years, countless stories have been staged on both sides of the Yellow River, including heroes and dead bones, and countless joys and sorrows have been buried under the long yellow sand.

In some deserted place, there are seven or eight tents, which is an archaeological team.

It was already late at night, and it was pitch black. The clouds in the sky were pressing very low, and there was no wind at all. The air was filled with a depressing smell.

"Grandma, this ghost weather!"

Luo Tian walked out of the tent and poured a bottle of gasoline in his hand onto the pile of firewood. When the lighter rose, the fire rose into the sky with a "huh".

As it darkened today, Luo Tian felt something was wrong all over. He always felt that something was about to happen. He couldn't sit still in the stuffy tent, so he could just come out.

After carrying a stone, Luo Tian pulled out a cold dagger from the side of his calves, and pried open a canned lunch meat in his hand and started eating it.

“It looks delicious.”

A faint fragrance came from behind, and Luo Tian knew that it was Fang Ru who came.

Luo Tian has learned some information about Fang Ru. At the age of 25 or 26, she is a history professor at Guanghai University who has studied. She is cheerful and generous. She has graduated from Beijing University since she was 20 years old and has gone to the United States after graduating from Beijing University. It took only three years to get a doctorate from Harvard. She is highly valued by some well-known archaeological professors abroad and is definitely a genius figure. In this archaeological team, she is the deputy captain. Although there is a group leader Jiang Tiesheng, she is responsible for most of the things.

"Lunch meat, why not?"

While saying that, Luo Tian put a slice of lunch meat into his mouth. Under the fire, the dagger flashed with a star-like cold light.

"Okay, let's have a piece."

Fang Ru nodded and took out a small bottle of wine from her pocket.

Put the cut lunch meat on the tip of the knife and roast it on the fire, then stretched out to Fang Ru and said, "It's a little bit hot."

Fang Ru opened her mouth and bit off the steaming lunch meat, as if she didn't see the cold tip of the knife.

"Huh~~~~ Not bad! Very good! Come on, take a sip."

Fang Ru handed the bottle of wine in her hand to Luo Tian. Luo Tian was not polite, so she took it over and took a big sip.

"Oh, this wine is strong, pure vodka."

Luo Tian looked at Fang Ru in surprise. Not many women bring wine, let alone beauties like her.

Fang Ru's eyebrows are like willow leaves, her eyes are as beautiful as water, her nose is as straight as a mountain, her mouth is slightly raised, and her face is as delicate as exquisite porcelain.

Because of work, she was wearing a wide denim outfit, but she still outlined a round and round arc on her chest. Even if she was 1.7 meters tall, she showed amazing slender legs and perky buttocks. She was 267 years old and was even more full of feminine charm. Many times, Luo Tian felt that how could a woman like Fang Ru come to such a wilderness to do archaeology?

"What, you men are only allowed to drink and eat meat in big mouthfuls?"

Luo Tian smiled and said nothing. He took a sip of the wine and handed the bottle back to Fang Ru. Fang Ru didn't mind that Luo Tian was drinking in the bottle just now, and also took a sip.

"Gu Fei said you were a special forces soldier?"

Fang Ru could see that Luo Tian was not very old, and might even be several years younger than him, about 1.85 meters tall, and was as strong as a leopard:

Under the flashing fire, the naked upper body has clear lines, shoulders are like mountains, and under the wide chest muscles are eight neatly arranged abdominal muscles. When they suddenly narrow, the entire upper body will appear in a perfect inverted triangle. In addition, it is strong and powerful, with obvious biceps arms and thick eyebrows and big eyes that are bulging from time to time. The face is clearly contoured, and the whole person is full of a fatal male charm.

Such men always make women feel powerful and safe. Every time they see Luo Tianfangru, they can’t help but take a look.

This time, the archaeology entered the wilderness far away from the crowd, so for safety reasons, he hired a bodyguard. Luo Tian was introduced by Fang Ru's best friend Gu Fei. Gu Fei only used one sentence to describe it: If necessary, this kid is definitely a good killer.

The facts proved that Gu Fei's words were not wrong at all. Three days ago, more than a dozen people from unknown tribes who emerged from somewhere rushed to the archaeological team to steal things. Many of them were carrying gunpowder guns, but they were broken up by Luo Tian with a dagger.

Fang Ru still remembers Luo Tian’s avoidance move when facing those gunpowder guns, like a spirit snake. The opponent couldn’t hit the target at a distance of only a few seconds. In the end, Luo Tian put the dagger on the neck of the man hiding in the last!

"Well, it used to be."

Luo Tian nodded gently, and a silent expression appeared in his eyes.

"What are the scars on your body?"

Fang Ru did not notice Luo Tian's abnormal expression. She shook the wine bottle and found that it was empty. She raised her hand and threw it out, hitting the ground with a "bang". She noticed that Luo Tian had more than a dozen horizontal, vertical, round or flat scars on her body.

"It's nothing. As a soldier, it's inevitable to be injured."

Luo Tian couldn't help but feel a little lost. When he was eighteen years old, he had just been admitted to Guanghai University and joined the army as a soldier. Because he liked sports since he was a child and had excellent physical fitness, he was selected into the special forces brigade one year after joining the army. After two years of hell-like training, he became a top presence and defeated countless powerful players in the Southeast Military Region Competition. After the next eighteen outings to perform special tasks successfully, and he was glorious for a while. He even began to look forward to becoming a general in the future. However, during a vacation half a year ago, he met a playboy teasing a female college student. When he saw injustice, he naturally drew his sword to help and gave him a lesson. However, he did not expect that the person who was beaten up by himself was the son of a division commander of a military region.

After this incident, not only was his dream of becoming a general star shattered, but he was forced to retire from the army and was expelled from the school and he had no academic qualifications.

Luo Tian never regretted the urge to beat the division commander's son. The only thing he felt sorry for was his parents who lived frugality. If they knew that they had been swept out by the army, they would definitely be very sad and worried.

In order not to let his parents notice this, Luo Tian secretly became a bodyguard and desperately took on the task so that he could get enough of the salary he paid regularly when he was still in the army and sent it back.

Although the sadness in Luo Tian's eyes flashed by, Fang Ru still noticed that she always thought Luo Tian was a carefree sunny boy, and the choice of being a soldier or as a bodyguard was just a life of temptation, but now it seems that it is not that simple.

For some reason, Fang Ru suddenly felt her nose sore, and she suddenly felt a throbbing of holding Luo Tian in her arms to comfort her - the young big boy in front of her must have experienced some difficult things, but even so, she was still optimistic. It was not so easy to do this, but it was precisely because of this that it made people even more heartbreaking.

Fang Ru did not continue to ask questions. She could see that the other party did not want to talk about this matter, so she changed the topic:

"The work here will be over soon, and it will take about a month."

"Professor Fang, you dug this place from Zuonan, with a radius of 100 miles. What do you want to dig?"

After stuffing the last piece of lunch meat into his mouth, Luo Tian threw the empty can into the fire.

Maybe after drinking a little wine, Fang Ru was very happy tonight. She first pulled out the wood in the fire with a stick and said:

"'Don't say that the stone man has one eye to stir up the Yellow River and the world', you may have heard of this sentence?"

"I know, when I was studying, it was said in the history textbook that there was a TV series that had performed this story before, which was about the Hongwu Rebellion in the late Yuan Dynasty."

Nodded, Fang Ru said: "In the late Yuan Dynasty, natural disasters were not in trouble. A folk song circulated everywhere: 'Don't say that stone people have one eye to provoke the Yellow River to rebel the world'. In 1351, the imperial court forced the civil servants from all over the country to repair the Yellow River where the broken. When the civil servants were digging the river, they found a one-eyed stone man in the mud. So in May of the same year, Han Shantong and Liu Futong gathered 3,000 people at the Bailu (Road) Village in Yongnian, killed the white horses, and the black cows set up an alliance to revolt, and used the red scarf as the name. This is the famous Red scarf uprising in history."

"That's right, that's the case."

Luo Tian nodded and continued, "Han Shantong is from the White Lotus Sect, he spread the folk songs, and he buried the stone people in advance."

"This is indeed written in history books, but I think the real situation of this uprising is not that simple. I think this uprising was done by a wizard. In a sense, it was an attempt by a wizard to seize the power of the world. Han Shantong is a man who mastered witchcraft. The stone man was a witch tool he used to curse the Yuan Dynasty and delude others to rebel with him."

"How is this possible?"

Luo Tian suddenly looked at Fang Ru, this was really incredible.

"To understand this problem, let's first look at how the White Lotus Sect came about. It originated from a branch of Buddhism in the Southern Song Dynasty. It worships Maitreya Buddha. It is legendary founded by Mao Ziyuan in the third year of Shaoxing of Emperor Gaozong of Song Dynasty. Because the believers are careful in green onion milk, do not kill or drink alcohol, they are also called Bailiancai. Later, it gradually evolved into a civil society organization, the White Lotus Sect, which is the most mysterious religion in history."

"If you study history, you will find that whenever a certain sect is uprising, the leaders often make prophetic folk songs to incite the passion of the lower classes, or use witchcraft as a means to attract people into the religion. Spells and spells are tools to maintain organization, and the same is true for the White Lotus Sect. Therefore, most of the famous leaders of the White Lotus Sect in history were wizards. For example, in Volume 6 of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", the White Lotus leader Xu Hongru, who obtained the Left Taoist Book and could fight ghosts and gods. In Volume 8 of "Xing Ziyi", Yang learned the Left Taoist art from the White Lotus, and could fly on wooden kites. Volume 3 of "Yetan Suilu" wrote that the White Lotus Taoist "can climb clouds and make fog, call rain and wind, and call gods and fight ghosts, and other techniques, which are actually witchcraft."

"Han Shantong's grandfather was a native of the White Lotus Sect. He set up an altar to preach and treated his illness. He once lived in Luancheng, Zhaozhou. He was exiled to Yongnian County, Guangping for burning incense to deceive everyone. These are all information that can be verified. How could Han Shantong, who was born in such a wizard family, not a wizard?"

Fang Ru became more and more excited as she spoke. The wine she had just drunk was slowly working. A hint of blush appeared on her pretty face, and her charming eyes made Luo Tianxin shudder.

"This... do you mean that the demise of the Yuan Dynasty was cursed by Han Shantong's witchcraft?"

Fang Ru's charm at this time was really amazing. Luo Tian finally forced himself to take back his gaze. But he still couldn't believe this - isn't witchcraft feudal superstition? With such great energy, can a dynasty be cursed to perish?

"There is no such great energy. After all, Han Shantong failed in the end. But why can one-eyed stone man make countless people crazy? Traditional historical research believes that this is the reason why social contradictions are extremely sharp, but I don't think so. I think this uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty is related to witchcraft. The wizard Han Shantong used witchcraft to deceive civilians and eventually revolt. Witchcraft has reached a critical role in this uprising. I want to use this research to unveil the mystery of witchcraft."

Luo Tian was startled and blurted out, "Ah? What do you mean is that we are coming here to find the stone man with only one eye?"

"Yes, we are here to find this stone man - this stone man is the key to the entire uprising. It is very likely that it is a witchcraft that uses witchcraft, so I must find it, and I know it is very likely to be nearby!"

“Nearly?”

Luo Tian couldn't help but look around and found that it was pitch black outside the fire and there was nothing to see.

“Yes, it’s nearby!”

Fang Ru waved her hand vigorously, as if to emphasize that she was right.

"You seem to be able to communicate with others in this way. Are you a wizard?"

Fang Ru smiled and said, "Of course I am not a wizard, I have a basis for saying this."

"Han Shantong was arrested and killed after the uprising. He had a son named Han Liner fled to Wu'an with his mother. Later, Liu Futong took Han Liner to Bozhou and made him the emperor, known as Xiao Ming King, and his country was named Da Song, and later established his capital in Anfeng. During this period, although Han Liner was the emperor, his real power was controlled by Liu Futong. Anfeng was besieged by Zhang Shicheng's general Lu Zhen. Han Liner was rescued by Zhu Yuanzhang, who was nominally under the Song Dynasty regime, and settled in Chuzhou. From then on, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Liao Yongzhong to Yingtian, which is now Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. When he passed by Guabu, he was sunk in the river."

"I have four documents from the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. Two are from the mainland and two are from overseas. Among these documents, the word "stone" appears many times, so we analyze that the stone man during the uprising was always brought by Han Lin'er. Over the past few months, our archaeology has actually been carried along the route he had been active in that year. Now we are almost at the end of Kuala Harbor, so I said that we will find the stone man soon."

After thrusting the fire, a "pop" fire rose into the sky, and a cluster of sparks flew up. Fang Ru said hatefully: "I must find it!"

"Oh, okay."

Luo Tian was a little distracted by Fang Ru's statement. Regardless of whether her views and information were correct or not, it was not easy to find a stone man from 800 years ago on the vast land.

After a while of silence, Luo Tian suddenly noticed something and asked, "By the way, what is the thing hanging around your neck? I haven't seen you wear it before."

Fang Ru had an accessory that looked a bit like a stone hanging around her neck. When we met every day in the past few months, Luo Tian had never noticed Fang Ru had worn this thing.

"You are talking about this thing. This is the stone dug when digging during the day. There is a naturally formed irregular stone cave on it. It should not be an antique. I put it on it when I saw it was fun."

Fang Ru had long noticed that Luo Tian stared at her breasts from time to time. She thought she was attracted by her proud figure, but she didn't expect that this was the case. She didn't know how to describe her mood at this time: on the one hand, she was very happy that Luo Tian was not lustful, but on the other hand, she was angrily wondering if her figure was not good. Is the proud breasts not as good as a stone?

"Well, yes, can I take a look?"

I don’t know why Luo Tian thought it was very special since he saw this stone.

"Okay, wait...you..."

Fang Ru was shocked. Before she could finish her words, Luo Tian stretched out the salted pig claws straight over.

Luo Tian was also stunned. When he reached out, he just wanted to pick up the stone to see it, but he didn't expect that the other party would thrust his chest. As a result, his hand grabbed the stone and pressed Fang Ru's chest lightly or heavily.

The taste is soft and hard, and it is amazingly elastic.

"I won't let go, just ask me to take it off and give it to you!"

Fang Ru's pretty face turned red with coquettish accustomed, as if she was about to drip bleeding.
