The Mystery of Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 19 The Sword Sharpener on Sword Sharpening Island

The ship had berthed, and Xiu Ze took Chang Yun and Ji Hai to Mojian Island.

One person came up to greet him, the master of Sword Sharpening Island, Mu Ping.

Xiu Ze seemed to be very afraid of this person, and his words were not as cold as before.

Mu Ping is Mu Qing's younger brother, and a long-established swordsman in Kyoto. He originally had a bright future, but because of a drunken gaffe, he accidentally killed someone. After that, Mu Ping was sent to Mojian Island by Mu Qing to train talents for Yuan Pavilion. .

Mu Ping was very kind, and he patted Chang Yun kindly: "It's been a hard journey, isn't it nice to be on a boat?"

Chang Yun's face was extremely pale, and he responded with strength: "It's really not as good as being on land for the first time on a boat."

Mu Ping seems to be very clear about Chang Yun's life experience, so it's not surprising to think about it. Since Mu Qing has decided to let Chang Yun come to Sharpen Island to practice, he will definitely explain to Mu Ping.

Xiu Ze handed a letter to Mu Ping, turned around and walked to the boat.Mu Ping didn't ask to stay, but explained to Chang Yun and the two: "Yuan Pavilion personnel are forbidden to go to Mojian Island. This is a rule of more than 100 years."

Chang Yun was very surprised. Mojian Island is equivalent to the training base of Yuan Pavilion. Only those who walk out of Mojian Island can become the official candidates of Yuan Pavilion. People from Yuan Pavilion are not allowed to go to the island?
Mu Ping smiled, with a hint of bitterness in his smile, not only the official personnel of Yuan Pavilion are not allowed to go to the island, but also those who train candidates are not allowed to leave the island for life, as long as they dare to leave, they will be hunted down by Yuan Pavilion immediately, Life is at stake.

He has been on the island for more than ten years, sending away batch after batch of outstanding candidates, and there are dozens of people like him who are imprisoned on the island and cannot leave. They are called in Yuan Pavilion,

Sharpener.

Sharpen the sword for Yuan Pavilion.

Mu Ping led Chang Yun's master and servant to the residence located in the depths of Mojian Island. After a brief tidying up, he was forced to have a not-so-rich lunch. In the hands of each person, there is a serial number on each mask, Chang Yun's is Chen 39, and Ji Hai's is Shu 73.

"Remember that from today until you leave Mojian Island, you must wear this mask except when sleeping. Anyone who doesn't wear a mask outside the dormitory will be shot to death." Mu Ping's tone was very serious, making Chang Yun and Ji Hai understand this. Not kidding, the two obediently put on their masks, leaving only two eyes to see.

Mu Ping first glanced at Ji Hai, who was missing his right arm, and said, "Now you go to Houshan martial arts hall to report, and there will be a sword sharpener to guide you to train." Ji Hai nodded, then looked at Chang Yun, Mu Ping was furious : "On Sword Sharpening Island, you only need to obey the orders of the Sword Sharpener. As for the relationship between your master and servant, wait until you get off the island." Ji Hai didn't dare to speak anymore, and turned around and ran to the back of the mountain.

Mu Ping said to Chang Yun again: "Follow me." He took Chang Yun to the hinterland of Mojian Island, and when he reached a cliff, seeing that there was no way forward, Mu Ping smiled at Chang Yun, Chang Yun saw the smile as incomparably terrifying, "Follow me." Mu Ping actually jumped directly down the cliff.

Chang Yun was taken aback, she didn't have time to think about what Mu Ping was going through, and jumped up in a hurry to save Mu Ping.

With a "plop", Chang Yun fell into the mud and looked up angrily at Mu Ping, who was smiling but not smiling.

It turned out that there was a platform under the cliff, but Chang Yun was confused by the trees and other tricks above, and Chang Yun just wanted to bury his head in the soil in embarrassment.

Mu Ping didn't expect this young man to be so innocent, and he dared to jump directly off the cliff in order to save himself. A tinge of warmth filled his heart. After pulling Chang Yun up, the two came to a wooden door next to the platform.

Mu Ping raised his hand to pull the door, then stopped and said to Chang Yun: "Young man, you should think clearly, once you enter this door, you can't turn back."

Chang Yun understood Mu Ping's meaning. After entering this door, Yuan Pavilion will decide life and death, and there is no chance to quit.But thinking of the bloody feud he was carrying, thinking of his father and the Xiji soldiers, Chang Yun's eyes were extremely firm.

Mu Ping didn't talk nonsense, opened the door and walked in, followed by Chang Yun.

Behind the door is a room without windows, and there are four people in the room.

A fat man, a skinny man, an old man, and a beautiful woman.

Mu Ping first said to the four people: "I will leave it to you. The pavilion master sent me a message to let you teach with all your heart." Then he said to Chang Yun: "These people will be responsible for training you in the future. You don't go to the classrooms on weekdays. Come here during class." He then introduced several sword sharpeners in the room to Chang Yun one by one.

The fat man's name is Tang Da, and he is in charge of teaching Chang Yun the art of stealth and lightness kung fu.

The thin man's name is Gai Mukun, and he is in charge of teaching Chang Yun how to collect information.

The old man's name is Shi Wu, and he is in charge of teaching Chang Yun to know poison, detoxify and poison.

The beauty is Qin Yanzhi, who is in charge of teaching Chang Yun to assassinate and disguise.

Chang Yun bowed to the four sword sharpeners one by one. He never expected that Mu Qing would treat him so kindly, and even arrange for someone to teach him various skills.

Mu Ping finally said: "How much skill you learn from them depends entirely on yourself. By the way, every day after dinner, come to my courtyard to practice swordsmanship. Don't slack off for a day." Chang Yun opened his mouth and agreed, but felt that something was wrong. .

"Swordsmanship?"

"Of course it's swordsmanship. Although you have some martial arts skills, your foundation is shallow and it will take time to polish it. Do you understand?"

Chang Yun recalled the experience of vomiting blood when he was beaten that day against Duan Shikun. Duan Shikun was only at the first rank of Transformation Realm, and above that was the Profound Realm, as well as the Dao of Heaven. There are so many masters in this world.

Chang Yun was distracted, but Mu Ping was about to leave. Chang Yun was excitedly preparing for class, but he heard Mu Ping whispering to the four sword sharpeners: "The pavilion master has repeatedly told you, don't give me this time. Practice to death. Remember to remember."

Chang Yun's head was buzzing, and he was about to say something, but Mu Ping slammed the door shut and disappeared.

Chang Yun looked at the door, then at the sword sharpeners who were smiling amiably at him,
Would life on Grinding Sword Island be so exciting!

Ji Hai feels very strange recently.

Ever since he and Master Chang Yun landed on Sword Grinding Island, he has been like a fish in water in the martial arts hall. The martial arts hall only teaches the most practical killing methods, which is most suitable for veteran soldiers like him, so he has grown rapidly. .Moreover, the sword grinder in the martial arts hall specially created a short sword suitable for his left hand, which is more powerful than the right-handed knife before.

However, Master Chang Yun has been too abnormal recently.

The two of them go out together every day, but Chang Yun's posture when he comes back at night is too strange.

It was normal to crawl back covered in white cloth.

After returning home, it is very common to suddenly develop poison in the body and roll around in pain.

The most exaggerated one was being carried back by Mu Ping, his entire body was stiff except for his eyeballs which could move.

"It's okay, don't worry about your young master. I taught him swordsmanship today. I used too much force. He was disabled. The doctor has already healed him. He will be fine if he rests for a night." Mu Ping said with a flushed face. He left and left Chang Yun, who was unable to move, to Ji Hai's care.

Three black lines flashed across Ji Hai's forehead, disabled?

But every morning Chang Yun returned to normal, sitting on the bed alone and giggling.

Ji Hai stretched out his hand to touch Chang Yun's forehead, the young master won't be fooled by Lian.

Chang Yun ignored Ji Hai's teasing. Although he was tortured by several sword sharpeners every day, his progress was indeed visible to the naked eye.Whether it was fighting on the battlefield or fighting with others before, Chang Yun relied on his own bravery and adaptability, but what he learned in Sword Sharpening Island was all the experience accumulated by these sword sharpeners over the years. Some, however, worked wonders.

Although the sword grinder kept his past secret, based on Chang Yun's intelligence, it was not difficult to guess that each of them had experienced countless fights and bloody pasts.

The most unfathomable among them is Mu Ping.

Chang Yun once fought against Duan Shikun, a first-rank disciple of the King of Rong, and was almost beheaded by the sword, but Mu Ping was even more terrifying than Duan Shikun.Duan Shikun's swordsmanship was fierce and fast, each move was more dangerous than the last, he could only exchange his life for a little life.Mu Ping's swordsmanship seemed calm, but he didn't even have a chance to fight for his life. Every time he stabbed with the sword, he hit Chang Yun's vitals. The tip of the sword was always waiting for him, not much more than an inch, not much less than an inch, which made Chang Yun extremely uncomfortable.

"It's too slow, it's really too slow. If I'm really a killer, you'd have died a hundred times." Mu Ping's swordsmanship is superb, but his mouth is surprisingly damaged. nagging.

Chang Yun's head was getting bigger, and he was too busy to take care of himself by learning poisoning, concealment, and intelligence analysis from the other sword sharpeners during the day, and he was tortured intensively at night, and no one could bear it.

"There is someone who can bear it, and you know that person." Mu Ping said to Chang Yun very seriously.

There is actually someone who can stand this kind of intense training, what kind of monster is this?Chang Yun couldn't help but slander.

Wait, I know?

The owner of Yuan Pavilion, Mu Qing.
