Everyone looked at Gu Yucheng. At this moment, they could not see any clues about Gu Yucheng. Just like a mortal looking into the abyss, not knowing its depth. Ordinary people measure the sea and find it difficult to live in poverty.
There are two kinds of people who can make people sincerely convinced. One is majestic, intimidating, and willing to follow. The other kind is as kind as the spring breeze, taciturn, yet powerful and upright, which makes people yearn for it.
One is a figure like Dong Huang and Ying Zheng. One, but a person like the Supreme.
Gu Yucheng looked at all the merchants present, and everyone present also looked at Gu Yucheng secretly.
Zhang Zhifu, the owner of the Zhang family shop, looked Gu Yucheng up and down, and finally bowed to Gu Yucheng with sincerity. Some of the people present noticed it, but they didn't say anything and just remained silent.
Gu Yucheng said directly, "Sancaimen has finished collecting taxes. I think it's time to collect taxes from Bei Shang Street."
Everyone was shocked.
This is the most critical step Gu Yucheng is asking them to take.
No matter how fiercely Gu Yucheng and Baili Kuo fight in the front, as long as the taxes of each shop owner have not been paid, there is still a chance to regret it. However, if you pay it, there is no possibility of going back on it.
If you hand over the tax to Gu Yucheng, you will completely join the Qian family's team. Gu Yucheng naturally became the master of Bei Shang Street.
However, these merchants still dare not take this step.
Zhang Zhifu stood up directly and asked Yuan Shi'an who was sitting at the end of the seat, "Shi'an! If you don't come out now, when will you wait? Elder Baili is not here. Isn't it obvious who belongs to Bei Shang Street?" ?"
Yuan Shi'an trembled and slowly looked at Zhang Zhifu. Yuan Shi'an knew that Zhang Zhifu was forcing him to express his position. Because he is the largest shop owner in Bei Shang Street, his attitude is very influential.
And Zhang Zhifu's words are also obvious. Without Baili Kuo, Gu Yucheng is still the biggest boss in Bei Shang Street now. If Yuan Shi'an doesn't express this attitude now, I'm afraid the Yuan family store won't be able to survive this change...
After thinking about it, Yuan Shi'an slowly said, "The Yuan family store will hand over this month's taxes to Elder Gu before noon tomorrow."
When Zhang Zhifu saw Yuan Shi'an speaking, he also said, "Zhifu will send someone to sort it out tonight. If Elder Gu doesn't mind, we can hand over the taxes to the elder after sorting them out!"
Seeing this, Zhang Jiayun was not to be outdone and shouted, "Zhang Jiayun can sort it out now!"
Leng Fuqing from the Leng family also echoed, "The Leng family is tidying up tonight!"
The remaining shops immediately looked at each other and said, "We will pay the shop tax to Elder Gu tomorrow."
Gu Yucheng nodded, "Let's all disperse. Come back tomorrow at noon."
After hearing this, everyone bowed and dispersed.
Soon only Nan Xun and others were left in the entire banquet.
At this time, Zhang Jiayun wanted to step forward and say something, but Gu Yucheng stopped him with a wave of his hand, "Work hard. The words and deeds of the Leng family shop owner follow you. Do you think I didn't see why?"
Zhang Jiayun was stunned on the spot.
Gu Yucheng then ordered, "Go down, I want to have a good talk with Uncle Nan."
Zhang Jiayun then suppressed his trembling and retreated in fear.
Nan Xun then said to Xun Kui and others, "You guys go down first."
Xun Kui was a little dissatisfied, so she retreated with Feng Yuan and Chang Shan and walked directly to Feng Yuan's shop.
Nan Xun walked slowly to Gu Yucheng. Gu Yucheng immediately gave up his seat and asked Nan Xun to sit at the top.
Nan Xun pondered for a while, then smiled and said

"If you hold a lamp at night, you must be feeling unhappy. Wenyue, what do you want to ask me?"
Gu Yucheng was silent for a long time, but still couldn't say anything.
Nanxun was the first to speak, "I saw that you couldn't say what you wanted to say, so I started to feel confused."
Gu Yucheng nodded quickly.
Nan Xun then smiled and said, "Actually, if time is compared to the river flowing in the east, some people often think that in the years that constitute their own life and the history of all living beings, they are just a tiny bit of dust. But this is actually an illusion. This is just a kind of loss that everyone feels before they find the meaning of their life. And now you are confused about the meaning of your existence."
"Life is like floating in the air. You can't ask for the spring breeze or the winter snow. You can only find yourself among all living beings." Nan Xun looked up at the high sky and explained as if to tell, "If a person finds his own meaning. Then you will find that the river of time is just a stream that reaches your ankles. You will dare to spend your whole life looking at everything in the years. When this life comes to an end, you can just lie peacefully in the stream and let the years pass. The river, covering the body, merges into eternity.”
Gu Yucheng only thought it was beautiful.
After leaving Taiyi Palace, the only thing Gu Yucheng kept telling himself was not to die, because he still wanted to find his sister.
This was the first time Gu Yucheng heard someone describe death so beautifully.
Walking through the water, waiting for the light to be hidden, lying down as if sleeping, sleeping as if sleeping, letting the river of time pass by, and blending into eternity.
Gu Yucheng looked at Nan Xun, was this the death of Uncle Nan?
Maybe everyone should be like this.
Gu Yucheng and Nan Xun fell into a long silence.
Gu Yucheng's heart was wavering. A meteor streaked past. Gu Yucheng made a decision in his mind, slightly making up his mind.
Finally, Gu Yucheng said, "I have seen some things before. I once had the opportunity to see the supreme battle in Hangu Pass in a fantasy world. I have even seen more brilliant and absurd things." .——Actually, I am a person who longs for power and ordinaryness.”
Nan Xun looked at Gu Yucheng carefully, knowing that what Gu Yucheng said at this moment was the truest thing in his heart. Although I was surprised how Gu Yucheng saw the battle at Hangu Pass. But Nanxun chose to listen.
"I met a man before, his name is Zhang Zhilin. He said he wanted to change the whole world, and I even thought he would succeed. After seeing him, and then seeing the battle of Hangu Pass Supreme, I actually felt that I’ve long had a longing for it.”
"This kind of yearning is because I have been proud and depressed before. I have seen skinny people digging in the mines day and night, just to fill their stomachs. I have also encountered the true feelings of the people around me. Betrayal. I have even lost my loved ones. I also know that the rude demands made by people of high status are regarded as such and reasonable in the eyes of others. I have not experienced much, but not much, so, I long for the fair world proposed by the Supreme Being, and I also long for the near-perfect system proposed by Zhang Zhilin. So I am eager to change everything."
Gu Yucheng looked at Xiang Nanxun, "I long to change the world."
A breeze blew by, but Gu Yucheng was a little confused, "But with my own strength. How is it possible? And... I also have a sister, which is my biggest guilt. I have broken her heart once, I don't I hope to hurt her again. If I am like Zhang Zhilin, won’t she have to accompany me everywhere? This is also unbearable for me. Then again...it is not certain whether she will come back to me..."
Gu Yucheng looked at Nanxun, hoping that the old man could give him a direction.
Nan Xun was silent for a long time, and then he said, "I just talked about the meaning of life and death."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The words about death were actually said by the Luo Yangli who saved me during the Battle of Merlin. He died in the stream of Shouxu Mountain at that time. "
Nanxun then said, "Next, I will ask you to tell an interesting story that I saw with my own eyes. This interesting story is actually like ourselves."
"At that time, I was still very young and a soldier in the Supreme Army. Once, when passing through the ancient Qin Province where Qianxun Pu is now located, I encountered a large lotus pond. It seems to be called Qianlian Pond now."
"A few people and I went to pick lotus roots to eat. While we were picking lotus roots, I saw a newly born fish larvae, which still looked very transparent, trapped in a drop of dew. That drop of dew, Lying on the lotus leaves."
"In the eyes of the fish, this drop of dew is its entire world. Maybe it also feels the temperature of the rising sun, so it is eager to break through the water wall. But the lotus leaf in front of it is too big, really too big , it is an insurmountable difficulty for it. I can see that the fish is hesitating, very hesitant. It may be afraid that if it leaves the current small environment, it may die, and it may be better to stay where it is."
Gu Yucheng was fascinated by what he heard. Nan Xun smiled and sighed, "But how could it know that there is a large pool of water under the lotus leaf? There is its vast ocean. Of course it doesn't know. Lotus leaves are often A large barrier. It blocks everything. Just like many difficulties in life, they all seem extremely difficult. But after crossing the lotus leaf, after crossing the difficulties, there is a pool of water, a bright future blocked by difficulties."
"Life is like a fish in the dew. It is often limited. It is always trapped in front of you. - That little fish finally chose to stay in the water drop. I couldn't bear it and put it in the pond. Here. In Yuzai's eyes, this is heaven's grace. But now that I think about it, I am actually a sinner. No one has the right to interfere in the decisions of all things."
Nan Xun let out a long sigh, "Aren't we just fish cubs, trapped in the dew? Huh? - The real choice is still in your own hands. Maybe you break through the dew and fall into the pool, but that's not necessarily the case. Live well. You may also be eaten by big fish. Isn’t that the case? But we still have to make a choice. After all, the fish larvae in the dew are just mushrooms. The whales in the sea are the big ones..."
Nan Xun stood up and said, "All that means is that life is like a fish in the dew, the real choice still depends on yourself. Don't expect luck and opportunities. The only person who can really give you hope is yourself. "Nan Xun slowly stood up.
"Actually, you have a choice yourself, Wenyue. It all depends on you."
Gu Yucheng was stunned, looking at Nan Xun who showed sadness and kindness for the first time, and unconsciously burst into tears.
Gu Yucheng murmured to himself, "I want to see the sea. From Nanjun to Zhongtian Province, and then here, I found a direction. I want to see the entire wilderness."
Gu Yucheng stood up suddenly and said with determination, "Uncle Nan, I figured it out. This is how I should live my life. I don't care what other people do. At least, I want to live my own life. Now I am indeed dew." But one day, I will go to the sea to see the world!"
"I'm going to see my sister, and I want to tell her that I will build a sect that can be humane, but never extinguish justice. I may not be able to change the entire world, but I want to change a group of people. I will start from the Supreme The spirit inherited there will be passed on. I want to protect my sister, and I want to be the person I want to be."
Nan Xun looked at Gu Yucheng, smiled and shook his head and said, "The matter is still undecided, we still need to work hard. - The road ahead is long, let's go ahead!"
Nan Xun slowly walked down from the banquet seat.
Gu Yucheng was left sitting alone.
