Standing on the branch of an apple tree not far from the market in Xinling Town, Long Chen silently looked at this town that was completely different from what he expected, and there was an indescribable sadness in his heart, he always thought that Xinling Town would become a desolate place with broken walls and tiles, but he didn't expect that Xinling Town, which was not human, was more prosperous than eight years ago, and there were more people, and the hot air was fluttering with the sound of chickens and dogs barking and vendors shouting and children talking and playing, as if nothing had happened eight years ago.

It was really a human face that didn't know where to go, the peach blossoms were still smiling in the spring breeze, Long Chen smiled a little bitterly, jumped down from the tree, and walked quickly through the market towards the north.

Xinling Town is no longer the Xinling Town of eight years ago, and those who have passed away and disappeared can only be buried in the bottom of their hearts.

I thought it would take enough time to dilute those past memories, but when Long Chen climbed up the small slope along the flat stone wide road and saw the house standing on the top of the slope, he found that his steps suddenly became heavy, and suddenly he could even hear the sound of his own heart beating.

The hedge was still there, but it had rotted so much that it was cracked when it was pinched, and the thorn vines that were wrapped around it still hung with vermilion fruit, and the house on the hillside where he had lived for six years had not changed at all except that it was a little older than it had been eight years earlier.

Through the gaps in the dense fruit trees, you can vaguely see the clothes worn by ordinary people drying in front of the house.

What was once a home seems to have become someone else's home.

Long Chen stood outside the fence for a long time, and finally gave up the intention of entering through the main entrance, and after going around the hillside, he jumped over the fence and silently came to the backyard that had been converted into a vegetable garden, and the two small cabins built on top of the basement had not been demolished, which proved that the basement below had not been filled in.

Long Chen always remembered how many days and nights his only wish was to get the forbidden canon, and to enter this basement one day earlier to make a workshop page with his father, but this day would obviously never come again.

Although the former wish can no longer be realized, Longchen will not give up the long-cherished wish of manufacturing the Fang Page, because he has the Zhi Xuan Qi, and one of the biggest advantages of the Zhi Xuan Qi is the manufacturing of the Fang Page.

In fact, the situation that Long Chen is facing now is really a bit embarrassing, after returning to the mainland with Ye Ruxue's approval, he can basically be described as destitute, and he can't find anything of value except for the hidden bag that can be sold for money.

Compared with the three tasks proposed by Ye Ruxue who didn't know when they could be completed, after Long Chen returned to Xinling Town, he suddenly found that solving the problem of survival was the most important thing he needed to consider at present.

Ye Ruxue only gave him a letter of recommendation to enter the Worm Department of the Xuan Academy, whether the Xuan Academy charges tuition and accommodation fees is also an unknown question, in short, he must find a business that can make money, and the fastest money-making business, in addition to stealing and robbing, seems to be the only thing left to make the workshop page is the most suitable for him now.

The basement that was originally used as a workshop page has now become a cellar, full of sweet potatoes and apples, filled with a faint fermented sour smell, Long Chen looked around with some trepidation, but fortunately he finally found what he wanted under a pile of rotten sweet potatoes, and he was relieved.

Lifting the white stone that had become a little yellow, Long Chen's heart was full of thoughts, and he couldn't help but think of Long Linyuan's back sitting in this basement again, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

This large piece of stone with a thickness of about three centimeters in Long Chen's hand, called Rigang Stone, is a rare stone that must be used to make the mill page, and its appearance is similar to the white stone mined in the stone quarry in the south of Xinling Town, which may also be the reason why the people who put this basement cellar did not take this piece of Rigang Stone to sell, but the iron machine used to crush some raw materials that is not worth a few dollars is gone, and it is estimated that it has been sold as scrap iron.

Half of the reason why Long Chen was looking for this Rigang Stone was to use it as a souvenir, and the other half of the reason was that if he wanted to make a page, it was impossible for him to afford this kind of Rigang Stone necessary for making a page.

He remembered that when his father was chatting with his mother before his death, he once unconsciously talked about wanting to buy a better quality Rigang stone, but the price was really high, it seemed that such a piece of Rigang stone with a side length of fifty centimeters and a thickness of three centimeters could be sold casually for the price of dozens of gold coins, not to mention dozens of pieces, just referring to a gold coin for Long Chen, it seems to be an astronomical amount at this stage.

Of course, with Long Chen's current strength, it is really a very simple thing to casually find a rich businessman to rob the rich and help the poor to get some money, and there are indeed many down-and-out people in the mainland who occupy the mountains and rob the house for the king to make money, but he can't do this kind of thing, whether it is the serious words of the old dean in the previous life, or the teaching of Long Linyuan and Xiao Yun and his wife in this life, it makes Long Chen no matter how poor he is, he will never think of stealing and robbing, although he can do anything in order to survive, but some things must always be worthy of his heart.

After taking out the hiding bag from his waist, Long Chen untied the golden rope that was tied to it, grabbed the mouth of the bag, and stretched the hidden bag, which was only the size of a palm, several times larger, and threw the Rigang Stone into it.

After the Rigang Stone, which was more than ten times larger than the hiding bag, was put into the bag, the bag seemed to have turned into a rubber quilt to hold up, and after Long Chen closed the mouth of the bag and was tied with a golden string, this magical hiding bag suddenly returned to its original state, as if there was nothing in it.

The only thing that Ye Ruxue gave to Long Chen when this hiding bag left the Misty Continent can hold everything except living things, and the volume that can be contained in the bag is about as large as a hut, although Long Chen doesn't know what this magical bag is made of, but he believes that this thing is definitely expensive in the Hainei Continent, otherwise, I'm afraid there will be no merchants in this world who use horse-drawn carts to transport goods.

After putting away the storage bag, Long Chen exhaled lightly, and resolutely turned around and left the basement without any nostalgia, passing through the small hill and heading in the direction of Qingtian City without looking back.

There are some things that Long Chen can choose to forget for a while, and he can have the idea that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, but there are some things that he can't forget.

The person Long Chen hates the most in this world, except for those black cavalry, is the Qingtian Lao Long family, although it is impossible for him to blatantly go to the Qingtian Lao Long family to seek justice for his father, but there is a person who has been free for so many years, and it is time to eat the evil fruits that were planted at the beginning.

That person is naturally Long Furen!

Although it has been so many years, Long Chen's hatred for Long Furen has not dissipated at all now, and after returning to Xinling Town, his hatred is as strong as opening the lid of the burning knife wine jar that has been sealed for many years, he doesn't know how long it will take him to have the opportunity to return to Nanluo Country once he goes to Zilan Country, so this time he will definitely not let Long Furen go.

For Long Furen, what if it is a retribution?
