"You're afraid of me?" The woman in black asked in a stiff voice.

Mo Chaoyun was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head: "I'm not ......"

The woman in black suddenly laughed loudly a few times: "You are not afraid, if you were afraid, you would not be in front of Lu Zhao just now." ”

"Since she didn't leave me to escape, I naturally won't die without help."

When Mo Chaoyun said this, the woman in black and Lu Zhao were stunned, and then Lu Zhao suddenly burst into laughter.

The woman in black said loudly: "You shot too fast, she just dodged too slowly." You're overthinking. ”

"Hey, it's rare for people to be good people, Jiuwei, you will demolish the stage for me." Although Lu Zhao said this, it was a little more interesting to see Mo Chaoyun's eyes, "I didn't see it, you are quite interesting." ”

Mo Chaoyun also understood that he was being amorous, so he didn't answer.

"I'm Shi Jiuwei, and this is the Nineteenth Academy." The woman in black said suddenly, and then turned her head to look at Lu Zhao, "The person has been brought, and you still don't leave?" ”

Lu Zhao rolled his eyes: "Are you satisfied this time?" ”

Shi Jiuwei snorted: "So-so." After she finished speaking, she pointed at Mo Chaoyun, "You come with me." ”

It wasn't until he turned around and couldn't see Lu Zhao's shadow that Mo Chaoyun asked, "Is it up to you here?" ”

Shi Jiuwei replied without hesitation: "In the Nineteenth Academy, it is true. ”

Mo Chaoyun saw that Shi Jiuwei was refreshing, which was completely different from Lu Zhao, who had just been yin and yang, so he asked in one go, "What is this Inhuman Pavilion?" ”

Shi Jiuwei sighed: "Lu Zhao didn't sue you?" ”

"Sue sù is sue sù, but it's not much different from not suing sù."

Shi Jiuwei nodded, obviously understanding what Mo Chaoyun meant, and she said briskly: "The Inhuman Pavilion is divided into nineteen courtyards, and each courtyard is inhabited by people like you who came to the Demon Cave alone. The nineteen courtyards are divided according to each person's ability, since you have come to the nineteen courtyards, it means that you are good at nothing other than martial arts, right? ”

Mo Chaoyun suddenly understood why Lu Zhao asked her so many questions along the way just now, which made her extremely angry, and it turned out that there was a reason. Thinking about it like this, he actually passed by more than one courtyard just now, and every time Lu Zhao asked, he took her across a courtyard, and finally led her to the nineteenth courtyard. She suddenly had a premonition in her heart, so she tentatively asked: "Then among these nineteen courtyards, is there a huge disparity between the advantages and disadvantages?" ”

Shi Jiu glanced at her slightly appreciatively, and said, "The people in the Nineteen Courtyards are the strongest, the most and most miscellaneous, but they have the lowest status. ”

Sure enough, it's no wonder that Lu Zhao showed that disdain just now. This result did not surprise Mo Chaoyun too much, but she was puzzled: "Isn't martial arts the most difficult to learn and the most desirable?" Why did the Inhuman Pavilion do the opposite? ”

Shi Jiuwei said: "For ordinary people, it is very hard to cultivate any kind of skill to the extreme, you spend ten years learning the piano and ten years practicing martial arts, there is no distinction between high and low, people with high martial arts are admired, but the skilled pianist is also appreciated." ”

Mo Chaoyun nodded, she had no objection to this.

Shi Jiuwei continued: "Have you ever heard a sentence: a soldier who surrenders without a fight is superior. War is not the goal, but the talent is. If the same goal can be achieved by playing a tune, wouldn't it be inferior to make a big move? ”

Originally, Shi Jiuwei's appearance made Mo Chaoyun feel that among all the people he had contacted so far, Shi Jiuwei was the most frank and unscheming one, and he might be able to learn more about what she wanted to know from her, but after this conversation, Mo Chaoyun felt that she was wrong. Shi Jiu has the style of a general, rough on the outside and show on the inside, what she talks about is the Tao, and the evidence of her remarks implies the art of war inside, so it seems that she wants to extract news from her mouth is tantamount to wishful thinking.

Mo Chaoyun didn't speak, and she was silent again.

Shi Jiuwei didn't care: "The nineteen courtyards are ranked according to their merits, and the nineteen courtyards at the bottom are the courtyards you are in now, I am the master of the nineteen courtyards, Shi Jiuwei, you will be in my charge in the future, understand?" ”

Mo Chaoyun nodded, and suddenly asked again: "What is the courtyard that ranks first is good at?" ”

Shi Jiuwei suddenly smiled, and looked at Mo Chaoyun from head to toe again before saying, "They don't know anything." ”

What the?!

Mo Chaoyun was surprised, she originally thought that the people in the first courtyard had the ability to have three heads and six arms, but she didn't think that she would know anything. She stammered, "You lied to me, didn't you?" ”

Shi Jiuwei snorted: "I'm not that boring. In the future, when you have the opportunity to meet people in the first house, you will understand that they really don't know anything but good looks. ”

In addition to being good-looking?

Mo Chaoyun was dumbfounded, what kind of nonsense is this?

Shi Jiuwei said: "I said that as long as the goal can be achieved, there is no distinction between high and low by any means. Natural beauty is also a skill, and in many cases it can do anything. Which is easier to do, natural superiority or acquired hard work, you will understand in the future. ”

Mo Chaoyun was a little depressed and said, "Am I ugly?" ”

Shi Jiuwei laughed loudly, and she pointed to half of her mask: "Obviously, compared to me, you are not ugly, but it's a pity that Lu Zhaoqi is extremely good at people, and it is impossible for you to please her with this tattered description in order to be assigned to a courtyard, so you should stay in the Nineteenth Courtyard with peace of mind." ”

"I still don't understand, why do you have to divide what you want to do here, will there be any competition in the future?" Even Mo Chaoyun himself felt absurd about this sentence, but Shi Jiuwei nodded squarely when he heard this: "You'd better have such an awareness." The Inhuman Pavilion is the starting point of your fate in the Demon Cave, the intersection and separation of life and death, and the initial selection starts here. ”

Mo Chaoyun was stunned, she heard the words life and death again. The difference is that it was in Lu Zhao's mouth just now, but at this moment, Shi Jiuwei said it. She may not believe Lu Zhao's words, but Shi Jiuwei also said so, which makes her feel that it may be true.

"What does life and death mean? Why is there a life-and-death struggle? ”

Shi Jiuwei's face condensed, she looked into the distance, but said, "This is the Demon Cave, a place where people can come back from the dead. You and everyone who lives in the Inhuman Pavilion have 'died' once, and for whatever reason or reason, the life of the person is over. The Demon Cave has extended your life and given you a chance to live again, your life has since belonged to the Demon Cave, and the rules for wanting to live again are formulated by the Demon Cave, so do you understand? ”

Mo Chaoyun suddenly felt angry: "My life is mine, what does it have to do with the Demon Cave?" ”

Shi Jiu Wei faced her, his eyes fixed on her: "Really?" Is your life still yours? When you open your eyes again from the cave, have you never wondered why you haven't died yet? ”

Mo Chaoyun took a step back. Why hasn't he died yet? Yes, she couldn't believe it. She did feel that she deserved to be dead, but why was she still alive?

"You have a lot of injuries on your body, and they are very serious." Shi Jiu slightly lifted the sleeve of Mo Chaoyun, who had just been cut open by her shot, just in time to see the old wound that had been cracked open again, "I think you were going through a bloody battle before you came to the Demon Cave, if you hadn't been brought to the Demon Cave, you would have died at this moment, wouldn't you?" ”

Mo Chaoyun's lips trembled a little: "You mean, the demon cave saved me?" ”

"Is there anything to be surprised about?"

Mo Chaoyun shook his head: "I have nothing to do with the Demon Cave, why would the Demon Cave interfere in my affairs?" ”

Shi Jiuwei put down Mo Chaoyun's sleeve, took her hand instead, and dragged her forward, saying as she walked: "The Demon Cave only likes to contain the dead, and only those who have died, the Demon Cave can rightfully take over the rest of their lives and lifespan, and from now on they will only serve the Demon Cave, forever." ”

Forever? Mo Zhaoyun felt ridiculous: "How can a person's lifespan be taken over by others? ”

Shi Jiuwei paused and stopped, she turned her head to look at Mo Chaoyun, "It's okay if you don't want to be taken over, just go back to your original ending." ”

The original ending...... Be...... Dead?

"Yes." Shi Jiuwei seemed to understand what Mo Chaoyun was thinking, and said calmly: "Act according to the orders and arrangements of the Demon Cave, otherwise it will be death, is it easier to understand this?" ”

After she finished speaking, she pushed open a small dilapidated door in front of her, behind which was a very small garden, and the garden was flanked by houses, "You live in the last room on the left, only there are empty beds there, and there are men on the right, I don't think you will want to go." ”

After Shi Jiuwei finished speaking, she turned around to leave, Mo Chaoyun suddenly grabbed her sleeve, "I don't understand, since the Demon Cave wants to keep my life to serve it, why did you just say that here, this Inhuman Pavilion is a place where life and death are decided, isn't it a contradiction?" ”

Shi Jiuwei didn't look back, but still answered her: "Only the best swords will be worn by their masters and fight side by side, while those waste swords will only be thrown into the furnace and turned into ashes, do you understand?" The Inhuman Pavilion is the place where the sharpest sword is chosen, and only the strong can live, and only the strong deserve to live. ”

Mo Chaoyun slowly tightened her fingers, she felt angry, for the demon cave's contemptuous attitude of human life.

Shi Jiuwei felt Mo Chaoyun's anger, she looked down at her tightly crumpled sleeves, and slowly withdrew her arm forcefully, "It's normal to have anger, but don't try to escape, this is my kind reminder, you will pay a heavy price for this stupid attempt, there are many seniors in front of you who have tried this hopeless path, I hope you don't want to be a senseless fool." ”

Mo Chaoyun clenched her fists, she watched Shi Jiu walk away slightly, and then slowly changed from anger to dazed, and from dazed to frightened. The sun was strong, and the shadow that belonged to her in front of the door was very long. There was an even more petite shadow behind her shadow, and that petite shadow was holding a dagger at the moment, and the sharp tip of the dagger was precisely against Mo Chaoyun's heart.
