Siheyuan: Rebirth 52 years later, escaping from famine in Beijing

To all this, Lu Weimin smiled but did not make any comment;

Even though he is unable to catch fish now, he is still the most respected fishing king among anglers.

However, unlike what Lu Weimin imagined, his actions were not unnoticed - the weird old Tian was actually keeping an eye on him.

"What a considerate and meticulous young man!" Old Tian praised secretly in his heart, with a satisfied smile flashing in his eyes.

Then, suddenly, he stopped what he was doing and stopped dancing.

He approached a neighboring tree and broke off an upright branch from it, then took out a knife to remove the branches from the branch and sharpened one end of it.

After examining it for a while, he nodded with satisfaction and walked towards Lu Weimin.

"Ha! What is Mr. Tian going to do?" His friends and onlookers who were fishing nearby looked at him with curiosity.

"Young man, do you have any extra fishing line that you can lend me?" Old Man Tian asked Lu Weimin with a smile.

"Of course I have! I'd be happy to lend it to you.

"Lu Weimin took out a roll of fishing line and handed it over.

"Thank you so much!" Mr. Tian took the fishing line and tied it to the end of the unsharpened branch. Then he tried to pull it to test the stability.

Everyone who witnessed this was very surprised:

"What is this Mr. Tian going to do?"

"Is he really going to go and stab the fish?"

"It's very possible!"

"Are you going to go into the water yourself?"

"It's almost impossible to catch fish on the shore! How can you catch fish without getting into the water?"

"Indeed, in the past I've seen people who fish either go directly into the water or use a small boat to move on the water!"

Lu Weimin was also very confused and observed Mr. Tian's behavior.

Mr. Tian raised the sharpened wooden stick in his hand as high as possible. His gentle and kind eyes suddenly became sharp and powerful, and he looked around the river intently.

"This is crazy! Mr. Tian is not really going to stab fish, right? Even if we don't consider whether we can find the fish in the water, just stabbing it from a distance and having to withstand the resistance of the water, even if we happen to stab one, how can we get through and bring the fish to the shore?"

"That's right, it's almost impossible to fish on the shore!" The fishing friends talked at once, all looking very curious.

"hit!"

Mr. Tian suddenly shouted.

He threw the arrow-like wooden stick in his hand suddenly into the water, and it sank to the bottom of the river in an instant.

“He’s really trying to spear the fish!”

"What is he imagining?"

"It's crazy! It's absolutely crazy!"

Fishing friends don’t think Mr. Tian can successfully catch fish.

Only Lu Weimin was left staring at the bottom of the water with a look of horror.

Mr. Tian slowly pulled out the rod, and the sharp end actually pierced a grass carp.

The scene exploded instantly, and everyone felt very shocked and excited:

"Oh my god! I actually caught a fish! This is too unbelievable!"

"This is really a great skill! How can you catch fish in this way?"

"He is truly a master in the hidden world!"

Suddenly a friend who was fishing said excitedly:

"Mr. Tian said before that he was a martial arts practitioner and killed hundreds of invaders during the Republic of China period and defeated the leader of the Black Dragon Society. Are these true? Otherwise, why would he have such amazing skills?"

Everyone suddenly understood after hearing this: "After hearing your reminder, I also remembered it.

This shows that Mr. Tian is indeed a martial arts master, and he is truly admirable! "

After realizing this, everyone immediately changed their views of Master Tian and looked up to him with respect.

Obviously, after witnessing this extraordinary skill with their own eyes, everyone believed what Master Tian said.

However, Teacher Tian ignored the onlookers' thoughts and turned to Lu Weimin with a smile:

"Young man, I see that you have a strong and tough body and possess extraordinary martial arts talent. I would like to take you in as my last disciple and teach you my lifelong skills. What do you think?"

Now everyone knows that Master Tian, ​​who usually behaves in a low-key manner, actually has a new regard for the young man in front of him and plans to take him in as his apprentice, so he deliberately showed off his strength.

Everyone was envious at the thought of being able to become a disciple of a martial arts master, and they stared at Lu Weimin to see what he would choose.

...*

This time it really opened my eyes and broadened my horizons!

Recalling his childhood in his previous life, Lu Weimin read martial arts novels and watched martial arts movies and TV series. Whenever he was excited, he would fantasize about becoming a martial arts master.

At that time, he tried to practice the legendary martial arts by cutting branches with his palms in a small woods near his home.

Imagine that in the future you will be able to meet a stunningly beautiful woman while traveling around the world, and together you can punish evil and become a couple praised by everyone.

The reality was that his palms were swollen and red, and his distressed mother burst into tears and forbade him to go to the grove and practice martial arts again. So his dream of becoming a martial arts master was shattered.

As I grew up, I gradually realized that the ancients did have unique "martial arts", but they were different from the magical effects in the movies, such as ** jumping and manipulating petals and leaves.

But some people, such as famous generals in history, did master extraordinary martial arts.

Martial arts reached their peak during the Three Kingdoms period. Generals personally fighting on the battlefield to boost morale would make the winning side even more motivated, and the soldiers who followed them would often lay the foundation for victory.

At that time, there emerged such as Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and other peerless generals, but this way of fighting has extremely high requirements for personal skills and causes astonishing damage.

Usually, a powerful general who had just been trained might suffer the misfortune of being killed in a battle; gradually, such tactics would disappear in the torrent of the times...

Despite this, brave people with martial arts skills still exist. One of the most representative figures in modern times is Marshal Xu, a monk general from Shaolin. The unique martial arts he mastered can be called the king of close combat, which makes the enemy fear him.

However, in today's peaceful and prosperous times, the flashing of swords and the sound of sabers have faded away, and the ancient Chinese martial arts have gradually become a pure performing art form.

However, Lu Weimin now lives in the context of 1952, when the country was just founded and the turbulent years have just subsided.

Such periods tend to see the emergence of a large number of martial arts masters, and many of the true martial arts experts who survived became part of the construction of the new nation.

At present, Tian Deren is such an outstanding example and one of the martial arts masters respected by Lu Weimin.

Therefore, when he heard that Master Tian wanted to take him as his apprentice, Lu Weimin agreed without hesitation.

"That's great," Tian Deren said happily.

Lu Weimin gave Yan Bugui a fish weighing about one and a half pounds and asked him to take it back home.

Yan Bugui was delighted by the unexpected catch of a big fish and he accepted the commission with a smile.

Afterwards, under the envious gazes of the crowd, Lu Weimin and Master Tian left the Beiyunhe together.

Not far from the Beiyun River is Master Tian’s home—a house with a courtyard.

There are flowers and plants planted in the yard and several paintings and calligraphy are hung in the hall.

Apart from this, the whole house is extremely simple, like a hermit's residence that is untouched by the world.

What followed was a grand and formal initiation ceremony, during which Lu Weimin appeared extremely respectful.

Tian Deren then took the tea presented by **, sipped it carefully and put it aside; then he took out a beautiful jade pendant from his arms:

"From today on, you will be my last disciple.

This jade pendant that has been passed down through generations is now presented to you as a gift for becoming your disciple! "

"Master, this gift is too valuable. I cannot accept it. Why don't you leave it to your descendants?" Lu Weimin knew at a glance that this jade pendant was extraordinary and extremely precious. It was also a family heirloom. How could he dare to take it over easily? He quickly declined.

Seeing that Lu Weimin had no desire for money, Tian Deren was even more impressed and responded calmly:

"I have spent my entire life pursuing perfection in martial arts and serving my country, and have never considered marriage, so how could I have children?

And since you have chosen me as your master, you will be my successor.

Aren't you like my offspring? Please keep the things I give you and don't let your master feel disappointed.

"

"Thank you, Master!" Faced with Tian Deren's words, Lu Weimin could only accept it. The jade pendant in his hand was crystal clear and flawless. It felt cool and smooth to the touch, which confirmed once again that this was an extraordinary object.

Lu Weimin then asked, "I heard that besides me, you have another disciple, right? Can you tell me the name of this disciple and where he is now?"

"Your senior brother's name is Chen Xingsheng, courtesy name Mingzhong, he is from Jiangsu, and he is a very honest and kind person.

At that time, my master was ambushed and seriously injured while killing dozens of Japanese invaders. Fortunately, your senior brother saved his life and saved his life. Therefore, I accepted him as my apprentice. Unfortunately, his talent in martial arts is not particularly outstanding, and he cannot fully inherit the essence of my **.

I taught him for six months before we parted ways. I had no news of him for more than a decade, until recently I learned that he was still alive and well in Hong Kong Island!"

Only then did Lu Weimin realize that his senior brother had already arrived in Hong Kong Island.

"Okay then! Next, I will teach you about Chinese martial arts.

"Tian Deren said.

"* **Learn with an open mind*!" Lu Weimin was looking forward to this stage of learning.

"The cultivation of Chinese martial arts can be roughly divided into several stages: manifest strength, yin strength, coordinated strength, cold strength, penetrating strength, and conversion strength.

These six stages are the main goals you should focus on and study in the future, and have been mastered by outstanding warriors in ancient times.

In addition, there are five higher levels: forming a golden elixir, being surrounded by positive energy, flying in the air, having an indestructible body of diamond, and transcendence **. If one can achieve these levels through practice, one can reach the state of immortality and the state of neither birth nor death. However, this is only a legendary state and no one has really achieved it. It is enough to have a general understanding of it without delving into it.

"

After hearing what his master said, Lu Weimin was shocked. He had never thought that there really could be a realm of never-ending attainment. Although Tian Deren also said that no one could ever reach those higher realms, he himself had a mysterious system and the resources of the Spiritual Spring Pool. Maybe he could really break through! A spark of hope ignited in his heart, and he couldn't wait to try practicing immediately.

However, Lu Weimin still did not forget the most crucial topic:

"Master, according to what you said before, the cultivation of the ancient powerful people all stopped at the highest level of transformation among the first six levels. Then, are the secret documents about the last six levels still in some corner of the world?"*

In response to this inquiry,56 Yi Zhonghai confidently tried to put pressure on Lu Weimin.

Tian Deren pondered for a moment and responded: "Master, I currently only have a secret tutorial on how to reach the Jindan stage.

But the parts that come after that are all at the legendary level, and there is no record of anyone completing the practice.

You shouldn't waste so much energy on these hopeless things!"

Hearing this, although on the surface he showed an attitude of "** Apprentice understands **", Lu Weimin was secretly delighted in his heart. Even if he could only get access to a book about cultivation to the Jindan stage, it was still a very lucky opportunity.

Since no one from ancient times to the present has been able to achieve the last six realms, their mental methods are certainly not valued and properly preserved as those of the first six realms.

This also reasonably explains why the mental methods of the last six realms are not as complete as those of the first six realms.

However, the master still retained the most crucial Jindan realm classics, which is like an important watershed; once it is refined, the strength will be substantially improved.

Future states of mind and mental principles can be seen as guidance to follow destiny.

Afterwards, Tian Deren continued to teach his knowledge of Chinese martial arts to Lu Weimin.

After a while, Tian Deren asked:

"Am I teaching too fast? Am I covering too much content? I'm worried that you won't be able to digest it! Let's stop here for today's lesson!"

However, Lu Weimin showed a confident smile: "Master, I have the ability to remember everything I see and hear. Everything you taught me is engraved in my heart.

'

This made Tian Deren extremely excited: "What a great disciple! He actually has the ability to remember everything he sees. I am so lucky to have met such a rare talent!"

Lu Weimin humbly replied, "Master, you have shown me such a great favor. It is my greatest fortune to meet a good master like you.

'

"Ha!" Tian Deren twirled his beard and laughed out loud, feeling extremely happy.

Then the master and the apprentice drank tea while Lu Weimin continued to receive basic instruction in Chinese martial arts.

The real practice starts the next day.

After completing the teaching of basic Chinese martial arts theory, Tian Deren then talked about the hardships of the path of cultivation and the heroic deeds of saving the country and killing the bandits.

Lu Weimin listened very attentively, and his spiritual world was sublimated again.

This is exactly in line with Professor Tian Deren's goal.

In essence, true martial arts is a self-defense technique. If it falls into the wrong hands, it may endanger those around it.

Therefore, it is extremely important to hand over national martial arts to righteous people who love their hometown and their people.

Therefore, ideological and moral courses become extremely important.

Tian Deren is undoubtedly full of expectations and affirmation for Lu Weimin.

The day passed quickly.

Lu Weimin learned a lot from this. After saying goodbye to his teacher and deciding to return the next night, he rode his bicycle away.

……

In the courtyard.

Ever since Jia Dongxu and his wife Qin Huairu returned from the police station, they looked extremely depressed.

The reliable information we received indicated that Jia's grandmother would be sentenced soon.
