Chapter 235: Invitation to the main table
That night, the provincial capital Hanhai Hotel.
The host Zhang family held a feast to entertain people from the Chinese cultivation world from all over the world!
Yu Zehai and the fat man found a corner and sat down, then looked at everything around him with a smile.
In today's impetuous society, there are not many people who can truly calm down and practice seriously. In the hotel, there are many practitioners from all over the world. It seems lively on the surface, but in fact, the current situation in the Chinese cultivation world is very unoptimistic.
To borrow the most frequent sentence Yu Zehai heard in his previous life, that is, the Chinese martial arts civilization has now entered a "cold winter period" that concerns life and death!
As for the reason?
Just as Zhang Youran of Zhengyi Sect said before, the years have changed, resulting in the interruption or incompleteness of the inheritance of many people; the collapse of the heavenly way of life is thin, and the overall environment is becoming increasingly unsuitable for cultivation. Therefore, with the development of scientific and technological civilization, the decline of martial arts civilization seems to have become an inevitable trend.
Of course, this is also related to the ideology of contemporary humans.
In modern society, cultivation is more of a way to strengthen the body and cannot be a standard for measuring a person's identity. For example, Zhang Youran, Taoist Master Qingxuan, and Taoist Master Shi Wuyou are just an isolated case. As for the other people here, others respect them, they will never be because they can beat ten or eight, but because they have a wealth of wealth!
Therefore, for these people, being able to be good at martial arts is just icing on the cake. If you have to make a choice between "martial arts" and "business", Yu Zehai believes that many people will not waste their business because of martial arts. The locations of the stations are different and the scenery you see is different. There are many smart people these days, but there are not many smart and sleek businessmen like Zhang Dahai.
perhaps.
Only after experiencing it can you truly understand how important a person's value and role are when his or her martial power reaches a certain level!
Not to mention those rare masters or illusory masters, even those first-class masters, second-rate masters, or even third-rate masters, can easily kill people invisibly. Think about it, if these people really want to kill an ordinary person, who can stop them? Who can discover them later?
Everyone in the world longs for freedom and wants to take their destiny into their own hands.
But if you face a peerless master like Yu Zehai, no matter how much money you have or how high you are, once he decides to kill you, then all your advantages and proud things will become decorations, and there is no meaning in the other party's eyes.
Think about the feeling of being held in the hands of others?
Perhaps, only at the most critical moment of life, will you suddenly realize that you are so small. No matter how much money you have or how powerful you are, you cannot give yourself a little safety and sense of accomplishment.
indeed!
Now a society ruled by law is bound by law. But the key to the problem is that these martial arts masters who are truly skilled often have a hundred ways to make you die inexplicably and will not be noticed by the yamen.
This is the most terrifying place!
This is also the reason why the hero violated the ban with martial arts!
Most of the tables in Yu Zehai’s audition were filled with 'young' people. But when they saw Yu Zehai and Fatty, the few people who were originally sitting at the dining table suddenly stood up and said respectfully: "Yu...Senior Yu!"
“Uh~”
Yu Zehai touched his nose awkwardly. His eyes swept the faces of several people, waved his hand and said, "What senior is not senior? My name is Yu Zehai. You can call me Xiaoyu, or just call me Yu Zehai. You should also see that I am not old. I feel so furious when I hear this 'senior'!"
But he didn't sit down, and everyone stood still. At the sign of the fat man, Yu Zehai quickly sat down and greeted everyone to sit down: "Don't be so reserved, sit down quickly! In addition, now it is a new society, we must keep pace with the times, right? Everyone should call brothers, and call them by name, don't be too serious. In fact, no matter what you call or what you call, it is just a title or a code name. Just keep respect in your heart. If there is an outsider present, you will call your "senior" and others will think you have encountered a lunatic."
He could roughly guess in his heart that the scene of guiding Zhenren Xianyun on the golf course during the day was witnessed by these people, and the reason for their shock was that Zhenren Xianyun was a master of the master. So, Yu Zehai, who could guide the other party and break through his own shackles on the spot, had the lowest cultivation level above the master.
Above the master, that is the master.
Looking at the entire Chinese cultivation world, there are only the "old antiques" of those major sects. But even so, there should be few grand masters who still exist to date.
It is precisely because of this that these people do not respect Yu Zehaihai as a god?
only.
Young people are more face-saving, especially those who practice martial arts, who are already a bit of a fighting spirit. Although everyone here is a group of "young people", they are older than Yu Zehai. If they ask them to follow the rules of martial arts, they call themselves "senior". No matter how bad Yu Zehai is, these people are reluctant to do so.
However, Yu Zehai's cultivation and the other party's true strength can be seen with their own eyes. In the cultivation world where the strong are respected and the masters are masters, Yu Zehai is indeed qualified to be their seniors. Therefore, if you don't bite the bullet and call "Senior", you will be afraid of being criticized by other colleagues on the scene. Yu Zehai's words undoubtedly gave them a step and also gave them enough face. Therefore, after listening to Yu Zehai's words, these people felt much more comfortable.
"Yes, senior!"
Everyone responded together, and only after Yu Zehai sat down, they sat down one after another.
"Senior, what do you want to drink?"
After sitting down, one of the men in their thirties whispered.
"Same as you!" Yu Zehai smiled and said, "In terms of food and drink, I will refuse everyone, and I will not be afraid of everything! By the way, what are you drinking, fat man?"
"Just whatever you want!"
When they saw the two nodded, someone poured red wine in front of them and then filled it with others one by one.
"Meeting is fate!" Yu Zehai raised his wine glass and signaled to everyone, and said with a smile: "Everyone, practicing means cultivating the mind. Just keep respect in your heart, please be as easy as you like."
"Yes, senior!"
After a glass of wine, the atmosphere on the dining table became lively.
Yu Zehai did not insist on everyone's insistence on calling him "senior". As he said just now, no matter what he called, it was just a code name. True respect should be kept in his heart, not just by talking one by one."
Just at the stall where Yu Zehai was about to speak, the few people sitting opposite him stood up one after another and said to him behind him: "Senior Zhang, hello, the two Taoist priests!"
Without looking back, Yu Zehai knew that it was those three old guys.
In fact, the arrangement of banquet seats tonight is very particular. For example, the heads or representatives of the aristocratic families naturally have to sit on the table; in addition, those more famous martial arts forces represent the more famous ones. As for people like Jiang Haiyang and Yuan Chun, they usually sit in the middle, while some young juniors are at the back, just like the corner where Yu Zehai and the others are located at this time.
"Senior Yu, how can you sit here? Please follow me to the main table and take a seat!" Zhang Youran said respectfully.
Practitioners attach more importance to these rules on the table. Yu Zehai’s ability is obvious to all, but it is unreasonable to say such a great master sitting in the last seat and letting them “juniors” sit upright on the main table.
Of course, this was not because the host's arrangement was inappropriate. Yu Zehai also knew that there was his seat on the main table, but he didn't want to take a seat there at all, so he pulled the fat man and ran to the side to join the table with others.
In Yu Zehai's words, it's just a meal, it's not the same wherever you sit? What's more, letting yourself, a young man, squat with a group of gray-bearded old men and grandmas, was awkward and uncomfortable all over.
"Zhang Zhenren, two Taoist priests!"
Yu Zehai bowed his hand and said with a smile: "I have received your kindness, boy, I can't go there. Just eat, it's the same wherever you sit."
"This, this..." Taoist Master Qingxuan next to him stroked his beard and said, "Senior Yu, the one who can practice one way is the first. You are the seniors of all the fellow practitioners here. Now, you are sitting here, but we juniors are sitting on the main table. If you see this by outsiders, you will think that we juniors do not understand etiquette."
"Master, you are obsessed with the face!" Yu Zehai smiled and said, "Isn't it just a meal? Besides, you look back at the people on your table. If I were to sit there, I would not only be unworthy, but you would also be uncomfortable, and I would also be uncomfortable. It would be better here. Everyone here is young and lively."
After listening to Yu Zehai's words, Zhang Youran and the other two turned their heads and looked at their table. Only then did they realize that their table was basically all gray-haired old guys, so they couldn't help but look at each other, with a helpless smile on their faces.
The intention has come, and the etiquette has been exhausted. Since Yu Zehai is unwilling to go there, it is difficult for them to persevere.
At this time, Zhang Dahai beside him whispered: "The three masters, like Yu Xiaoyou, will not stick to the minor details. I think Brother Yu has received the feelings of the three masters. Since that's the case, we don't have to give in any more politeness. As Brother Yu said, just having a meal, we old guys will distinguish between the main table seats, but now these young people in the new generation of voices will not care about these old customs."
