Chapter six hundred and seventy-two: the line of the upper reaches of the long river of time
Zhang Xuansheng naturally didn't know what his daughter had experienced in the real spirit world, nor did he know what kind of adventure she would go through.
His true thoughts travel between countless illusions and reality, and he does not know the years, but no matter how many scenes he has flashed before his eyes, there is no connection at all.
He can't find his world.
He couldn't find the line, he couldn't find it.
As time goes by and after several changes, Zhang Xuansheng has been silent for no reason.
Finally, something unprecedented happened. He found it, and found the line related to him, but that line should not have existed.
At least it should not exist at this time. It is the line that once existed, the line that was upstream of the long river of time.
He violated the cause and effect of time and entered the past by looking for truth.
At this moment, all the taboos in the heavens and all realms woke up, their eyes flashed, looking down at the long river of time, looking for the source of abnormal movements.
But nothing was found.
…………
A child with a sharp and beautiful heart ran on the top of the mountain, looking like he was about age 2, which was very gratifying.
After playing for a while, the child stopped, took off the medicine basket on his back, and prepared to start collecting herbs. He could not keep playing with it, otherwise he would have no receipts and would be punished by his father after he went back.
Dahuang Mountain and Liuming Village are the border areas of a small border country.
After a busy morning, the child returned to the village and came to the yard, and heard the sound of his father chopping firewood.
"Xuansheng, are you back? Hurry up and dry the medicinal materials. In a few days, my mother will sell you a new piece of clothing when she goes to the market."
A gentle voice sounded, and a woman in coarse cloth walked out, her eyebrows and eyes were very beautiful, and her son was full of love in her beautiful eyes.
"Okay, mom, what are you eating today?"
Xiao Xuansheng ran to the yard with his legs and feet skillfully arranged the medicinal materials.
"Boy, just want to eat."
The father in the yard put down his axe and cursed with a smile that the man was wearing coarse cloth clothes, his hair was a little messy, and his face was fair, but overall he looked like an ordinary villager.
Xiao Xuansheng made a face and ran to the kitchen to help his mother serve the meal.
After a while, the food was out of the pot and the family had a meal on the small wooden table in the courtyard.
This is a simple rural family. His father Zhang Bailuo is a carpenter in the village. His mother Dong Xuan is busy with farm work on weekdays and occasionally does some needlework at the market to sell it to subsidize the household income.
Poverty and simple, it is such a simple family.
"Come on, eat more, it's time to grow your body."
Dong Xuan kept picking up food for the child, which caused Zhang Bailuo to have nothing left when he wanted to put down chopsticks. He smiled bitterly at the rice in the bowl.
"You, you have spoiled Xuansheng. It's not good to eat too much."
Zhang Bailuo blamed her tone, but she grabbed an egg for her son.
Xiao Xuansheng's eyes dripped, and he hadn't finished chewing the rice in his mouth, but he still thanked his parents.
When the family was in harmony, the door suddenly became pounding.
"Dongdongdongdong--"
Short and rapid, the sound is getting louder and louder.
Zhang Bailuo got up and went to open the door. Outside was a middle-aged man dressed as an official, with a bad look on his face.

"Your family's cap tax has not been paid yet. If you delay it, you will come and get people directly next time!"
The middle-aged man threatened as soon as he spoke.
"Please forgive me for a few more days. I have a job on my hands and I will hand it over immediately after I finish it. You also know that the harvest in the fields this year is not very good."
Zhang Bailuo accompanied her smiling face and asked for some more time.
"Ha, you said that last time. If you really have no money, why don't you keep me safe, just..."
When he was talking, he glanced at the yard from time to time, and looked at the young woman with a good face that was rare in the countryside.
Zhang Bailuo was still laughing with her and said, "Don't worry, I'll go to the official service the next day. Thank you Brother Liu for your kindness."
"Hmph, it's better."
The official snorted coldly and slammed the door and left.
"Come on, continue to have a meal."
Zhang Bailuo returned to her seat and comforted her, as if nothing had happened.
However, Xiao Xuansheng put down the bowl and stopped eating, and ran back to his hut, looking unhappy.
"This kid."
Zhang Bailuo sighed helplessly.
This is not the first time this happened. Various natural disasters in recent years have caused everyone to have a hard time. But not only did the national taxes have not been reduced, but these officials are still like urging their lives to collect taxes.
Even as a child, Xiao Xuansheng could feel the difficulty of family. Seeing his father smiling and nodding with him, he was angry.
It's really cowardly.
In the evening, Zhang Bailuo came to her son's room and saw that her son was lying on the bed and was obviously still angry about the daytime incident.
"I'm still angry, haha, I'm so angry."
Zhang Bailuo teased.
"father!"
Xiao Xuansheng turned over and sat up, pouting.
"I think it's cowardly to be a father?"
Zhang Bailuo pinched Xiao Xuansheng's face.
"The boy dare not."
Xiao Xuansheng struggled to escape.
"Hey, you kid, I dare not just think about it."
Zhang Bailuo acted like to beat him, which scared Xiao Xuansheng so much that he hugged his head, but he was just teasing the child.
"Son, remember, when you live, you will have everything. If you care too much about everything, you will not be able to live. It is the same for both internal and external."
Zhang Bailuo educated.
"But... but that guy is so hateful."
Xiao Xuansheng got angry when he remembered the guy's eyes during the day.
"Do you think we're offended?"
Zhang Bailuo stared into his son's eyes and said.
"Um."
"Then what do you think you should do as a father? Could it be that you fight him and then be sent to prison?"
“…”
Xiao Xuansheng remained silent, and he didn't know what to do.
"You will feel happy when you are in the world, live every day and forget those troubles."
Zhang Bailuo touched his son's head and comforted, "You are old too. After paying the tax, you will take more work for your father during this period and save some money to send you to elementary school. You won't have to go to the mountains to collect herbs in the future."
However, Xiao Xuansheng shook his head and said, "No, the school is very boring and you have to hand over Shuxu. It's better to go up the mountain to collect herbs and exchange for some money for our family to eat some good things."
Zhang Bailuo shook her head helplessly and sighed, "It's up to you. If you feel tired of life now, tell me about you, and I will find a way to do it."
After saying that, he got up and prepared to leave.
"By the way, since you said you wanted to collect herbs, you would have to get up early tomorrow morning. You can't pass the time like today and don't even eat breakfast."
Before leaving the door, Zhang Bailuo reminded again.
…………
As the days passed, Xiao Xuansheng still repeated the days when he went up the mountain to collect herbs and went home to have a meal.
Occasionally, when his mother is no longer busy, he will pester her to tell some stories. Although it is just simple, he still listens with relish.
