Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

Early in the morning, several people in the Sun family were having dinner. After dinner, Sun Zhengguo was going to take his younger brothers and sisters back to his hometown to play, but his parents would not go this time.

Since learning boxing from Lin Hong, Sun Zhengguo not only practices martial arts every day, but also goes to the countryside during the two holidays every year to receive guidance from Lin Hong on the flaws in his techniques.

In Lin Hong's words, practicing martial arts not only requires qualifications, but also requires the guidance of a master, and finally, it must be combined with medicinal baths. None of these can be missing. Otherwise, you won't even know how you failed if you fail.

Recently, Sun Zhengguo clearly felt that there was a powerful energy and blood force lurking in his body, as if it could tear his body apart, so he didn't dare to practice anymore, for fear of problems. If he got a stitch in the side during practice, he would have no place to cry.

Before leaving, Lin Wencui helped the children pack their clothes while constantly reminding Lin Zhengguo to take good care of his younger siblings and not to go to dangerous places to play, and so on.

"I know, Mom, you've told me so many times, it's not the first time I'm going there."

"Little bastard, you've grown up and become powerful now. I can't control you anymore, right?"

Lin Wencui said in pretended anger.

"I can manage it, I can manage it, I promise to do it, okay!"

Sun Zhengguo raised his hands above his head, constantly indicating that he was wrong and that he had to admit his mistake when the time came.

That funny look made several people very happy.

After everything was packed, Sun Dajiang pushed the bicycle, and Lin Wencui and the three siblings followed behind, to the station. After sending the three siblings on the bus, Sun Dajiang took Lin Wencui and rode to the steel rolling mill.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, Sun Zhengguo and his two siblings arrived at their destination, their grandfather's home in Dongxiang Village.

Everyone in grandpa's family was at home today. They were very happy to see the three siblings. The happiest ones were the two cousins, Zhengdong and Zhengnan. After putting down their gifts, they came to grandpa's house, gave gifts as well, and started chatting with Lin Hong.

Lin Hong asked about the recent situation, and Sun Zhengguo answered one by one. When asked about his recent martial arts training, Sun Zhengguo also answered truthfully.

After hearing this, Lin Hong smiled but said nothing, which made Sun Zhengguo confused.

"No, Grandpa, why are you just smiling?"

"Ha ha".

"Silly boy, you are born with a blessing but you don't know how to appreciate it! Congratulations, you are about to break through. I really envy you. You have such a good aptitude, maybe one day you can really break through the dark energy."

Sun Zhengguo was also surprised to hear Lin Hong's answer. He finally got his reward after practicing martial arts every day.

"No hurry, no hurry. Get ready and accompany me this afternoon. I'm still short of some herbs. I'll make you a prescription tomorrow and it should be almost done."

In the afternoon, the grandfather and grandson carried bamboo baskets and rushed to the back mountain. In less than an hour, they collected the herbs they needed. Seeing that there was still early, they set up a few traps and went down the mountain to go home.

Early the next morning, Lin Hong and Sun Zhengguo were selecting medicinal herbs, Lin Wenjun went to the brigade warehouse to look for a large wooden barrel, which was used by the brigade to slaughter pigs, and his aunt was boiling water. The whole family was busy.

After everything was done, Lin Hong took out a piece of red cloth from the house. When he opened it, he saw a shriveled ginseng wrapped inside. It looked like it had been hidden for who knows how many years.

"Grandpa, this is ginseng."

Sun Zhengguo asked.

"This ginseng is 50 years old. It can be used as a medicine. It was originally prepared for your uncle, but he can't use it. If you can break through the dark energy, you will need ginseng that is more than years old. You can only find it yourself."

Although Lin Hong said it lightly, Sun Zhengguo knew that this ginseng must be worth a lot of money, and Lin Hong gave it to him without any hesitation.

Sun Zhengguo's eyes became moist, and he decided in his heart that he would repay his grandfather's family in the future.

After adding ginseng, the medicine is finally ready. All the medicine is poured into a large wooden barrel. After adjusting the water temperature, you can start the medicinal bath.

"Take off your clothes and go in. Get into the Qian Kun Zhuang posture. Remember the key points of the breakthrough I told you. After the breakthrough, wait for a while and come out. I'll be guarding you outside until the effect of the medicine is gone."

After hearing Lin Hong's instructions, Sun Zhengguo quickly took off his clothes and pants, leaving only a pair of shorts, entered the wooden barrel, and stood up on the Qiankun Post.

As the medicine slowly seeped into the skin, powerful blood and energy flowed back and forth in the body, washing over the flesh. Sun Zhengguo was now completely red.

After an unknown amount of time, Sun Zhengguo roared, and it was as if a shackle had been unlocked in his body. He felt relaxed and had endless energy, as if he could kill a wild boar with one punch. Of course, this was an illusion created by Sun Zhengguo's breakthrough.

Sun Zhengguo stopped only when the medicine in the barrel had no effect anymore. He jumped out of the barrel, washed himself again with clean water, put on his clothes, and ended this practice.

When he opened the door, Lin Hong was still waiting outside. When he saw his grandson coming out, he finally felt relieved.

"Grandpa, I succeeded and have entered the Ming Jin state."

Sun Zhengguo said with a smile.

"Yeah, that's good. Let's do some boxing first and feel the new realm."

"Okay, Grandpa, I'm just about to try it too."

After saying that, he started practicing Tongbeiquan. Each move was graceful and elegant. Each punch made a sound of wind and was strong and powerful.

After a while, he had performed all 108 boxing moves.

"Okay, that's all for today. You've just made a breakthrough, so it's not advisable to practice too much. But yesterday's trap yielded a good harvest, so I'll give you some extra training."

After dinner in the evening, Sun Zhengguo chatted with Lin Hong for a long time until he had learned all the useful information from Lin Hong, and then Lin Hong sent Sun Zhengguo to go to bed.

A week passed in a blink of an eye. After practicing with Lin Hong, Sun Zhengguo had become familiar with the use of strength. Now, he could probably beat three or five fools without any problem.

After the boxing entered the Ming Jin stage, the rest was just slow skills. Lin Hong started teaching new skills, the Eight Steps and Thirteen Knives and the Twelve Links Method.

In Lin Hong’s words, it doesn’t matter if it is not used, but the inheritance cannot be broken.

A month later, Sun Zhengguo's sword skills had become very proficient and his pole skills had also improved. Only then did Lin Hong stop teaching and let Sun Zhengguo practice on his own.

Time passed quickly. There were only a few days left before school started. After Sun Zhengguo packed his things and said goodbye to his grandparents, he took his younger brother and sister on the bus back to the city.
