The Sanqu Mountain mentioned in Ning Wanqiu is located 17 or 8 miles west of Changshan County, Quzhou Prefecture, Zhejiang Province. It is a place with rugged rocks and a unique shape, so it is called "Stone Forest". If you are traveling, you can reach the county town with a quick horse and whip it in less than a stick of incense.

Although the scenery is beautiful, due to war and plague, few tourists have come here for sightseeing for many years. On this sunny day, Shilin welcomes two Western curiosities, one man and one woman.

The man is slightly fat and has a scumbag. He looks middle-aged, while the woman is about thirty years old, with her eyebrows and eyes vividly showing her exotic style.

These two were the British Jerome Daniel and Jenny Morris who rushed to Zhejiang to get rid of the Red Yasha with Pu Weihai.

The two of them were walking among the strange rocks with their canvas backpacks, excited and kept sighing at the wonders of nature. They were tired of walking. They leaned on a towering huge stone pillar for a moment, took out a kettle from their backpack to drink water, and started chatting.

There was no Chinese around, so the two of them naturally communicated in English.

Jerome couldn't help looking around again and sighed, "My God, it's incredible, it's incredible! This ancient and mysterious China, regardless of culture or scenery, is really... it's incredible. Such a scenery can't be found in our UK. But now I want to say that these stones really exist on this planet. If you don't come to China for a personal look, how could you believe that there are such strange scenery on the earth? It's really like another world, it's incredible! Unfortunately, the Chinese people don't understand business too much. Such beautiful scenery is undeveloped, and it's a pity to let it hide on the earth! Fortunately, I'm so lucky to have the opportunity to come to China in this life!"

"Yes, it's my first time in China. These scenery is really shocking!" Although Jenny was not as excited as Jerome, she was also very excited and said curiously, "Jerome, you said you came to China twenty years ago. I think, at that time, you were only in your twenties. How did you do it?"

Jerome was very happy that Jenny cared about her past and told vividly: "Ah, this is a very long and sad story. I don't know why, I have been much smarter than others since I was a child, learned things faster, and had a lot of imagination. At the age of eighteen, I was admitted to Cambridge University to study physics. When I got there, my studies were still excellent. However, when others said that I had a bright future, I gradually felt a little bored. I found that those were not me.

What I want, you know, I was born in the town of Tratford, which is Shakespeare's hometown. Perhaps influenced by him, I have been very interested in the world of swords and magic since I was a child. My lifelong dream is to become a magician and save the world. Once, I fell seriously ill, and then I found that there was a strange change in my body. I actually understood magic. I think this is God helping me realize my childhood dream, so I quit school and concentrate on studying this power..."

Jenny smiled and said, "You are really interesting. Cambridge University is an academic temple in the minds of so many people. Being able to enter and be a student is a lifelong dream. You just want to retreat. Wouldn't your parents blame you?"

Jerome said: "My parents are very enlightened and supportive of my approach. The only problem is that I have learned this magic, but there are no evil witches or elves to let me practice. So how can I save the world? Fortunately, my father once went to China to do opioid business and said that he knew a man named Pu, a descendant of the great Chinese magician Pu Songling. That Pu Songling not only has strong magic power, but also a great writer like Shakespeare in China. I asked me if I was interested in knowing it. When I heard that, how could I refuse such a magical thing? When I was a child, I thought the farthest place in the world was America, but later I found out

The real farthest place is China, a country like Japan, located in the Far East. I finally arrived in China after several twists and turns in 1843. Pu Weihai was still very young and I was only twenty-one years old. After I communicated with him, he was very interested in me, so he asked me to stay at his home in Yunnan, learn each other's language, and tell me stories about elves written by his ancestors. Since then, I have been deeply fascinated by this country and always feel that I will never understand it. A year later, Pu Weihai's son was born, and two years later, the evil female elves from Zhejiang suddenly came to his family. All the tragedies began from that time..."

Jenny said, "I understand, I'm telling you why your personal relationship is so good. Later, he had to leave his son. In order to get rid of Hong Yasha, he gave up his family business. After you and your father's introduction, he founded the Liuquan Group in the UK and produced these powerful weapons specifically for dealing with elves."

"Totally right!" Jerome asked, "Where are you, Jenny? Why did you join the Liuquan Group?"

Jenny smiled and said, "It's about the same as you. When I was twenty-eight years old, a tsunami occurred in my hometown of Edinburgh. At that time, I happened to be on vacation by the beach and almost died. After living, I found that I could use magic, so I quit my job and joined the Liuquan Group by a friend's introduction. Not only because they paid high wages, but God chose me to become a magician. Of course, I have to contribute to saving the world."

Jerome exclaimed: "So, who is here to make money and who has dreams in our company can be seen through this trip to China. Although you have only been in the company for two years, I observed you in the company and felt that you are different from those people. You are so focused in every experiment that the failure of that experiment also blows off one of your arms. But I didn't expect that you are willing to commit yourself to such a poor and war-torn country."

Jenny looked at her left arm and said disapprovingly: "What's wrong with China? So what about poverty and war? The more this happens, the more I can see the truth of this world and think carefully about why we are alive, right? Besides, would they be so miserable if we hadn't invaded them in front of us? So, this time Mr. Pu pleaded for me to come to China to participate in the battle to eliminate the Red Yaksha. I thought about it, anyway, I am single, without any worries, and I agreed without hesitation."

Jerome smiled bitterly and said, "It's a little harder. After all, men can't be so carefree when they have wives and daughters, especially my wife. I heard that I'm coming to China again, and I want to divorce me immediately, haha. Sometimes I think about it, maybe divorce is the right choice. The world is so big, how many places should I see, how many people and things should I go through? In the journey of our lives, who will meet and walk along the way, perhaps as the Chinese say, it is a destiny. Unless we meet a real soul mate, why get married for marriage? Have children for the sake of having children?"

Jenny smiled: "Looking at your line, it really makes me think of Shakespeare."

"I like this feeling. Although everything in this world will not change due to your thoughts, if you look at them from different angles, they will also show different postures to you. Take these strange stones as an example. For travelers, they see scenery, for geologists, they see sandstone landforms, and for magicians, they may become elves of all kinds of shapes. Therefore, in the work of Liuquan Group, although I use my engineer as an engineer to help Mr. Pu develop various equipment, I have been looking forward to countless times in my heart that one day,

On a vast battlefield, we can use these weapons and our magic to fight a fierce war with the evil elves. If so, even if I die on the battlefield, it would be so happy!" Jerome said more and more excitedly. He couldn't help but activate the power of purification, jumped high, stepped left and right between the nearby stone pillars, and finally landed on a shorter strange stone pillar nearby. He looked up at the sky and read the lines from Shakespeare's classic drama "Hamlet" with great enthusiasm: "Survival or destruction, this is a question, this is really, really, a question! Hahahaha..."

As he was speaking, a loud rumbling sound suddenly came from the stone pillar under Jerome's feet, and then, as if there was life, he actually moved on his own!

Below, Jenny had stood up straight and shouted at Jerome: "Jerome, there is something wrong with this stone, come down quickly!"

Jerome then jumped to the ground again, without any surprise, but couldn't stop excitedly: "Haha, Jenny, I just said, they might be elves!"

Jenny sneered: "It seems that we are being targeted by Red Yasha again. Congratulations to Mr. Daniel, you are about to realize your heroic dream."

Jerome smiled bitterly and said, "It's just that I hate this kind of elves with unknown abilities the most. If a group of monsters or evil dragons come, fight head-on..."

Before he finished speaking, the rumbling sound became louder. The two of them looked around and saw that the stone pillars that Jerome had just stood had stopped moving, but more pillars around him were moving one after another.

Jerome put his hands on his hips, and he was too lazy to use the power of purification, so he looked helpless: "What are you doing? What can I do if I just move around and don't attack us?"

Jenny shouted, "Don't be careless, let's see how they move and find the rules."

The monster did not show up and the attack had not yet begun. The two could only watch the stones move until they all stopped. There were twelve stone pillars forming a circle, surrounding the two of them.

Jerome said: "Why do you seem to have seen this look somewhere..."

Jenny laughed and scolded, "Do you really don't know or like to pretend? Have you never seen the photos? Stonehenge!"

Jerome suddenly realized, "Oh, yes, yes, Stonehenge on the Salisbury Plain, but there is a horizontal stone on it."

Jenny said: "This is China, not Britain. The elves born here cannot have seen Stonehenge. I think this should be the corresponding twelve zodiac signs, right?"

Jerome pretended to be a quarrel: "Then why can't it be the twelve zodiac signs?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge rock suddenly flew from the sky, and it fell above with a bang, covering the two of them up.

Jenny shrugged, "It's time to go, it's still Stonehenge."

The two finally no longer had to waste their talk about what shape this is. The current enemy attack formation has appeared, and the two of them immediately released blue light and prepared to fight.

Jerome reminded: "Hey, save some money, and you still have to go back to recharge after you finish."

Jenny smiled and said, "Do you think the elves who can move these stone pillars will have mediocre mana? Think clearly, if you want to run away, then tell me."

Jerome said, "Let's have fun first."

As soon as he finished speaking, some ants, mantis and other insects slowly climbed down from the huge rocks around him, becoming bigger and bigger, running towards the two of them.

Jenny said: "Do you understand? The ability of this elf is to create Stonehenge to trap the enemy, and then make the creatures in Stonehenge become huge and attack."

Jerome said happily: "Haha, there are still a group of monsters. In other words, I can kill like a hero!"

The huge insects got closer and closer. Jerome dared not neglect and shouted out his purification ability.
Chapter completed!
