Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

Zhou Tian looked at his wife, nodded gently, and said softly: "Don't worry, I will be careful!"

As for whether he would be able to do it by then, he himself had no idea.

"Okay, wife, it's late at night. Don't forget that we still want a second child! Go to bed early!"

Seeing his wife was about to say something, he interrupted her directly. He hadn't been intimate with his wife for a long time. As the saying goes, one day without seeing each other feels like three years. Feeling her soft figure, his breathing couldn't help but become rapid.

He immediately lowered his head and kissed Shen Yulin's alluring red lips.

"Wait, the boss, turn on the light!"

Shen Yulin had just said one sentence when Zhou Tian interrupted her. Her body went limp and they both fell onto the bed.

The sound of wind and rain was endless at night and it rained all night long.

The storm didn't stop until almost dawn.

A night passed, and when the sun rose, Zhou Tian slowly opened his eyes, turned to look at his wife whose pretty face was full of fatigue, and he smiled with relief.

He got up carefully, put on his clothes, opened the door and walked out of the house.

Looking at the sun rising from the east, he felt refreshed all over and was particularly excited.

As usual, he first practiced a set of Xingyiquan in the yard. Just after he finished, he saw his grandfather looking at him with bright eyes, and there was an obvious flash of surprise and disbelief in his eyes.

"Grandson, have you made a breakthrough?"

It was not until Zhou Tian finished his practice that he asked with a stuttering voice.

"Grandpa, why are you here so early today?"

You know, on weekdays, grandpa usually gets up at seven o'clock. He usually gets up after grandma finishes making breakfast, but it seems that it is not the time now.

"No, grandson, don't change the subject. Grandpa is asking you, have you made a breakthrough in Xingyiquan?"

Grandpa did not answer Zhou Tian’s question. Instead, he walked up to him, grabbed his hand and asked excitedly.

“Well, it’s a breakthrough!

Seeing his grandfather so excited, Zhou Tian did not hide it and nodded.

"That's great, it's really great. I didn't expect that my Zhou family would finally have a successor after your great grandfather!"

After getting the confirmation from his eldest grandson, tears instantly welled up in the grandfather's eyes. His expression suddenly became even more excited. He clasped his hands together, and was as happy as a child.

"Grandpa, what's going on?"

Zhou Tian looked at his grandfather's movements, and suddenly wondered in his heart, even if he had made a breakthrough in Xingyiquan, it stood to reason that his grandfather shouldn't be so happy, right?

Perhaps sensing his eldest grandson’s confusion, the old man calmed down deeply, and after a long time, he calmed down and looked at Zhou Tian.

"Grandson, are you wondering why grandpa is so happy because you have broken through the dark energy?"

Zhou Tian didn't say anything, just nodded.

"Well, come to think of it, it's also because our ancestors were incompetent!"

It seemed that the old man did not want to talk about his ancestors. A trace of shame flashed across his face, and then he continued: "In the Republic of China, our ancestor, who is also my grandfather, was extremely famous. He beat the invincible opponent of Sijiucheng with his Xingyiquan. Until he met Grandmaster Shang, although he was defeated after a fight, your great-grandfather benefited a lot from him. Not only did he perfect our ancestor's Xingyiquan, he even broke through the Huajin in the end and became a grandmaster-level warrior.

"Unfortunately, later on, maybe it was because our ancestors were too good, from then on, no one in our Zhou family could break through the dark energy. Even breaking through the bright energy was much more difficult than other families' boxing techniques!"

"Later, your great grandfather, who is also my father, visited many masters in order to find out the reason. He found out that although our ancestral Xingyiquan is very powerful, it seems to have some flaws. However, any warrior who can break through the dark energy with our Xingyiquan is stronger than other warriors!"

"When the reason was known, the Zhou family suddenly fell into a difficult situation of inheritance. Since then, our Zhou family has gradually faded out of the martial arts world."

"Although your father, your second uncle, and your two grandfathers who died also practiced Xingyiquan, I never had any hope for them. I never thought that when it came to you, I would see hope for the Zhou family's inheritance again!"

As grandpa spoke, he seemed to recall the glory of the Zhou family in the past, and suddenly his eyes flashed with an incomparable light.

"Grandson, you are the hope of our Zhou family from now on. You promised grandpa that you must pass on the Zhou family's Xingyiquan, understand?"

"Grandpa, don't worry, even if you don't tell me, I will pass it on!"

After listening to the old man's words, Zhou Tian couldn't help but feel curious. He knew that the Zhou family must have been prosperous in the past. After all, his grandfather and grandmother had talked about it before. However, he didn't know anything about the inheritance of boxing.

As for Grandmaster Shang, he had naturally heard of him, but although he agreed, he did not take the matter seriously.

After all, it is a different era now. Perhaps in an era without guns and cannons, personal force is indeed worthy of respect. After all, as the saying goes, a common man's anger can cause blood to splatter five steps away.

But since the advent of guns and cannons, it can be said that practicing martial arts has basically lost much of its prospects. The only reason he was able to persist was just to strengthen his body.

However, thinking about the reason for the breakthrough, he seemed to feel that it was related to the virtual space in his mind. Although he didn't know the connection, he could vaguely guess the changes in it.

"Okay, what are you two talking about? It's time to eat!"

Just as the two fell silent, grandma's voice came from the room.

"I know, grandma!"

Zhou Tian responded and said to his grandfather: "Grandpa, you go first, I will wash up first!"

As he said that, he walked towards the bathroom.

After he finished washing up, he gathered with his family to have breakfast.

After dinner, Zhou Tian said hello to his grandparents and rode his bike towards the machinery factory.

"Morning, Director!"

Along the way, many workers greeted Zhou Tian, ​​and Zhou Tian responded with a smile one by one.

When he arrived at the factory, he locked his bicycle, went upstairs and came to the office. As soon as he opened the door, he saw that Liu Yuan had already cleaned the office.

"Good morning, Xiao Liu!"

Zhou Tian smiled, took off his coat and hung it on the wall.

"Good morning, Director. You look so good today!"

Liu Yuan also looked at Zhou Tian with a smile and praised him. It was not that he was praising him intentionally, but the factory director's complexion today was indeed much better than in the past few days.

"Really? Maybe it's because I'm in a good mood!"

Zhou Tian nodded at him, came to the table and sat down, then he remembered what happened yesterday.

"Xiao Liu, have you delivered yesterday's documents to Deputy Director Liu and his team?"

"No, Director, Deputy Director Liu should not be here yet!"

Liu Yuan shook his head.

"Well, when you go to deliver it, tell them to come over!"

After thinking about it, Zhou Tian couldn't help but order,
