"Still learning?" Sheng Hong asked calmly.
Chen Mu thought for a while and gritted his teeth and said, "Learn!"
"Come with one hundred taels of silver tomorrow. I will only teach you for seven days." Sheng Hong said and waved his hand to send the guest away.
Chen Mu's face suddenly turned ugly.
One hundred taels of silver for seven days of teaching, which only covers teaching but not learning, made him waver in his determination.
……
"My martial arts is called Red Falcon Form Training Technique, and it is incredibly fast. Once you master it, you can run faster than a galloping horse." Sheng Hong calmly introduced his own martial arts, and it was obviously not the first time he had done this.
"The Red Falcon's form training mainly consists of three moves: dive, gallop, and leap. It is also equipped with breathing techniques and secret medicine."
"I will teach you everything within seven days. Whether you can learn it or not depends on your luck."
Chen Mu could only nod obediently.
When he left Sheng Hong's house in the afternoon, his mind was full of various footwork moves and the accompanying breathing methods that were so complicated that they made him bald.
There are so many things, and this is just the leaping style of the Red Falcon training method. There are also two styles, the galloping and the diving.
Learn it within seven days? Chen Mu felt annoyed just thinking about it.
Could it be that I was deceived? !
For six days in a row, Chen Mu went out early and came back late, immersing himself in the Red Falcon's practice of the form technique, and studied and practiced diligently with Sheng Hong.
Today is the seventh day and the last day.
"I have told you all about the Red Falcon Form Training Technique. This is the last day, so just ask me if you don't understand anything. Don't blame me if you don't remember clearly and practice it wrong." Sheng Hong sat under the shade of a tree, drinking tea calmly.
What don’t you understand?
I don’t understand at all!
He was dreaming of letting a martial arts novice learn a complete set of magical martial arts in six days?
But there was nothing he could do. The money had already been paid, what else could he do?
I could only start from the beginning, ask questions step by step, and let Sheng Hong demonstrate it personally.
He had no expectation of ever learning it; he just wanted to remember a little more and go back and practice what he had memorized.
At dusk, Chen Mu walked out of Sheng Hong's house with an angry look on his face.
This one hundred taels of silver is such a waste!
After studying hard for seven days, I just watched the fun and didn’t learn a single trick!
……
At Sheng Hong's house, Sheng Hong casually threw a small cloth bag to Captain Lu.
"Your fifty taels, keep it."
Captain Lu stuffed the money into his sleeve pocket naturally: "Are you sure he will come again?"
"I told him the Red Falcon Form Training Technique without leaving out any details. Which martial arts school in Qingshan County would teach like this?"
"As long as he really wants to learn, he will definitely come back again." Sheng Hong is full of confidence.
"This scholar is good at painting and can make money. You must keep a good grasp of the progress and don't let this cash cow run away." Captain Lu instructed.
"It's not that easy to learn the form training technique. He can't escape from my grasp." Sheng Hong said calmly. This was not his first time teaching. He knew very well how to guide his apprentice.
As long as you point out a little bit of tricks to them each time and let them see a little progress, they will be unable to stop and will become more and more addicted to practicing.
In the end, all the family wealth was put into his pocket.
This is not the first time he has done this.
He glanced at Constable Lu and said, "Don't worry, I won't forget your share."
Captain Lu immediately nodded with satisfaction.
Seeing Chen Mu making a lot of money with just a few strokes of the pen, he had long been envious.
I originally wanted to find a way to get him addicted to gambling.
I didn't expect that the other party wanted to learn the form technique.
This falls right into their trap.
And this can't really be called a trap.
You pay to learn martial arts, and both are willing to fight and be beaten, so no one can find fault.
Take out the money openly!

Chapter 13 Making Friends
Ping'anfang, Chen's house.
Chen Mu stood in the middle of the yard.
The next moment, his figure began to sway, and he rushed towards the door, moving left and right.
Suddenly he stumbled and fell to the ground with a thud.
Chen Mu climbed up and rubbed his knee, grimacing in pain.
He was trying to practice the Red Falcon Form Technique.
This leap is best at dodging and moving quickly. In addition to changes in body movements, it also has a set of supporting boxing techniques.
He doesn't expect to learn boxing now, he just wants to practice his body movements first.
He staggered back to the center of the courtyard, adjusted his breathing and posture slightly, and practiced again.
He had just run two or three steps when he suddenly got a stitch in the side. His whole body trembled and he fell to the ground like a piece of wood. He was stiff for a long time before he got up.
"I wasted this hundred taels of silver. I didn't learn a single move!" Chen Mu looked frustrated.
One hundred taels can only be used for seven days of study.
How many seven days and how many hundred taels will it take to learn it?
It's simply a bottomless pit!
There are also secret medicines for physical training.
Sheng Hong did give me a prescription, but he didn't tell me how to prepare the herbs for the best effect. I'd have to buy it from him if I didn't know.
Chen Mu finally understood that this was just a cover. If he wanted to learn the art of shape-changing, he had to get inside!
That Captain Lu is not a good guy either.
Doesn't he know that the shape-training technique is difficult to learn? Doesn't he know that the rules at Shenghong are deceptive?
Even then he introduced him to learn martial arts.
Chen Mu even suspected that these two people were in collusion?
No, the two must be in collusion!
As long as you want to learn the art of form, you must go.
I worked so hard to earn some money, but it was all taken away by these two people!
Even the money earned in the future will have to be handed over to the two of them.
The more Chen Mu thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more aggrieved he felt. He walked back to his room in a huff.
He walked to a wall and looked at a painting on the wall fiercely.
There were rows of little people painted on a piece of paper that was about the height of a person.
The little man is wearing shorts and looks just like a photo. You can clearly see the muscle lines on his body. There are densely packed words next to him.
This is exactly the Red Falcon's body-building technique!
"I'm so ashamed. It's because Master Sheng Hong explained it in too much detail and demonstrated the movements too well. I was so itchy that I couldn't help but draw it." Chen Mu thought silently: "I think Master Sheng Hong should understand."
"At worst, I can just sell the secret book at a higher price." Chen Mu thought to himself, "I don't know if I can sell it for a hundred taels of silver."
"How about selling a few more copies? That would at least be more than a hundred taels." Thinking of this, Chen Mu's frustration finally subsided a little.
Master Sheng sells martial arts to make money, so I learned to sell secret manuals from him, which can be regarded as a kind master and a filial disciple. Even if I knew it, I would definitely be very pleased.
Well, first gain experience, and then sell it after you have mastered it!
Chen Mu concentrated on the portrait with satisfaction.
……
Qingshan County Prison.
A police officer stood outside a prison cell.
"Today is your big day."
"The principal offender in the Wang family murder case has been caught. You can be released from prison now!"
The gangsters in the cell immediately cheered.
After the crowd stopped making noise, the bailiff stepped forward to open the door and led a group of people out.
Zhang Qing and Li Fan also squeezed into the crowd, walking out laughing.
If Chen Mu were here, he would find that these two people were the two thugs who blocked him in the alley at that time.
After leaving the yamen, the two men went into an alley.
The short Zhang Qing's smile suddenly disappeared, and he said angrily, "These yamen runners are such beasts!"
"The little money I had left was taken away by them."
"I don't have any left on me either." The sturdy man Li Fan also looked unhappy.
"Forget it. I'm lucky to be able to get out." Zhang Qing sighed.
At that time, more than a hundred people were arrested in connection with the Wang family massacre. Why was it that only the people in their cell were able to get out?
