Chapter 393 My Rules

As the group walked down the tunnel, Li Mu couldn't help but turn around and inspect.

It was discovered that the back had turned into a stone wall, where there was still a shadow of the great hall.

Knowing that this is again the reason for the organ prevents you from going backwards.

Thinking back to the previous encounter, he couldn't help but say, "If I had known this, I might as well have split the puppet with one slash, and I wouldn't have wasted any time."

Shen Xingyue shook her head and said, "Doing it that way definitely won't work, it will definitely be punished, and there is even a risk of losing one's life, Brother Mu, listen to me, don't ever have this kind of idea."

"Why is that?"

"Quite simply, the destruction of a puppet comes from within, not from an external attack; for the master of the Mutsu Choukou Palace, the former is skill, the latter is cheating."

"How I think it's all cheating!"

"It looks like they're both cheating, but they're actually different; the former utilizes his loopholes and leaves him speechless when he loses, while the latter is playing a scoundrel in the open, so he won't be able to let us off the hook!"

Understand, it looks the same, but it is different, simply one inside and one outside, but the nature is very different.

Little Reeko was a little bit proud of himself and couldn't help but brag about himself when he saw that no one had complimented him.

"How about that, I still have to say that you're smart Woody, see, the effect is remarkable!"

Shen Xingyue smiled and said, "Well, Brother Mu is the smartest, even if he cheats, he can still hoodwink the best plan, which makes my little girl admire him."

"Poor choice of words, what do you mean by mon, this is called everything under control, go, look at the wood brother to play a pass for you, the future of the perilous does not matter, the tiger's lair and dragon pool I swim!"

When you raise your hand and look around, you have a sense of grandeur.

However, when he saw, Little Brother Li walked to the forefront with a big horse, Xiao Bai hurriedly urged a sound, and the group of Mistletoe Demons swarmed up, drowning him once again.

Xiao Bai didn't have so many ghostly heart eyes, protecting its master was its most important duty and its nature, it didn't have the consciousness of cooperating with its master to pretend.

The next few organs went through very smoothly.

With Miss Shen sitting in the middle of the town and Little Brother Li's brains, the few people didn't encounter too much trouble.

As a result, the crowd's confidence was once again restored, and they felt that if the momentum continued to develop, passing the level shouldn't be a luxury.

Shen Xingyue thought otherwise.

Don't think too optimistically about everything, Mutsu Choukou Kung is definitely not that simple, and there might be some big tricks left in store.

Gradually, others felt something was wrong.

Li Mu couldn't help but ask, "How many levels have passed?"

He Xiaoyu snatched the first reply, "Senior brother, a total of nine levels have passed."

"How can there be so many, Star Moon, is this normal?"

Shen Xingyue shook her head and said, "It's hard to say, I once saw, no, I once heard that inside an ancient tomb, a total of ninety-nine organs were laid out, compared to it, this place is nothing."

"How many organs do you reckon there could be here?"

"There's no way to estimate it, the only way to know how many levels it has is to go to the end, and right now you can't see anything, so you have no choice but to keep going down."

Lin Wan said from the side, "Hubby, don't ask, since we've come in, we have to go on even if there are as many hurdles, we've got no choice."

Li Mu frowned and said, "I know there's no other choice, I'm just not willing to stay this passive, isn't there any possibility of withdrawing voluntarily?"

"Active withdrawal, you want to admit defeat?"

"I do want to admit defeat, we were very poorly prepared this time, and if we keep going like this, I'm worried about accidents, so I'm going to quit."

Lin Wan nodded and asked Shen Xingyue, "Xingyue, do you have a way to quit?"

Shen Xingyue worried, "It doesn't seem to work, we only have one option, which is to keep moving forward, either pass or die, there is no way to admit defeat."

Li Mu is a little upset, he has read a lot of metaphysical novels, in which the organs and magic treasures are designed to be very humanized, not to play can leave, where is the statement of either life or death.

Thinking of this, he said loudly, "I'm done, admit defeat and surrender, send us out!"

There was dead silence all around, no reaction whatsoever.

Li Mu shouted a few more times, and still nothing moved.

Feeling bored with himself, he was just about to make some self-congratulatory remarks when, suddenly, a faint sound came over.

"Evil demons and devils, everyone must be executed!"

A couple of people froze, who are we talking about, cursing us?

We looked at each other as if we, two demons, two demon gods, a group of devils, and a monster, were worthy of the words Evil Demon Demon Sneak.

Little Brother Li cursed at the top of his lungs, "You grandma's grandson, I'm your ancestor..."

Her hand was quick to cover his mouth and whispered, "Don't curse, talk nicely, don't offend him."

Shen Xingyue was full of concern and said, "What can be done by scolding it, it's just a Qi Technique technique, and it dares to accuse us with a straight face, it really doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth."

Seeing that Lin Wan did not understand, Shen Xingyue pointed her finger towards the large hall in front of her.

"The voice is coming from there, and if I'm right, it should be a puppet talking."

Li Mu scolded, "That's right, the sound is coming from there, go, go over and take a look, a wooden puppet dares to insult us, I'd like to see what kind of evil spirit he is?"

The crowd of gods, demons, and monsters walked into the great hall together.

It was found that the place was elegantly arranged, with small bridges and rivers, rockery pavilions, flowers and plants planted all over the place, and even butterflies fluttering among the flowers.

On the stone pavilion, a literate man sat beside a stone table, looking at them with an expressionless face.

Li Mu stepped into the stone pavilion, leaned down to look at him, and asked nonchalantly, "Even you, a wooden man, dare to call us evil demons and devils, so what are you?"

The puppet calmly replied, "Don't make a verbal argument, please sit down, you and I will play a game against each other, you can all leave if you win, and you can all stay if you lose."

"Stay for what?"

"Die!"

"Fuck you, where did you get the confidence!"

Little Brother Li drew his sword in his hand and raised it to slash at the puppet.

Lin Wan hurriedly stopped it, "Don't do that, since it wants to play chess, let's accompany it!"

Reimu put down his knife and asked the puppet, "What kind of chess do you want to play?"

The puppet pointed toward the table, still calmly, "Naturally, it's Go, black first, white second, and I can let you go first."

Only then did the crowd realize that there was a chessboard carved into the tabletop of the stone table, with chess jars on either side, and black and white pieces held inside the jars respectively.

Surprisingly, it was Go. A few people hastily communicated with their eyes, and then they understood, Sensei looked at each other, among them, no one could play Go.

Although I know what Go is all about, knowing it is not the same as being able to play it, and I can't even understand what I'm watching, let alone playing it.

Little Brother Li pondered for a while.

"Two out of three?"

The puppet replied, "Yes!"

"I use black?"

"Yes!"

The puppet said, gesturing for him to drop first.

Li Mu shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I'm not done yet."

"Go ahead!"

"I'm the guest, you're the host, and to be fair, I should be allowed to set the rules."

The puppet was stumped, it wasn't human after all, its mind wasn't as sharp, and for a moment, it didn't know how to answer the question.

Li Mu scoffed, "What, you're a decent woodsman and you're afraid of me, an evil spirit?"

The puppet's expression seemed to change a bit as he nodded and said, "Yes, you make the rules."

Li Mu laughed, "My rules are simple, we each grab a handful of pieces, in the first game we compare how many, whoever has less wins, in the second game we compare weight, whoever is heavier wins."

"Any more?"

"Yes. Both sides must have pieces in their hands, and an empty hand is a loss."

With that said, Li Mu reached into the jar of black pieces and stirred the pieces inside with a clatter.

The puppet asked, "You haven't finished yet, how will the third game be decided?"

Li Mu said disdainfully, "You don't need to care about the third set because I'm sure I can win the first two sets, don't worry, you won't see the third set."

Without commenting, the puppet also put his hand into the chess jar, his eyes on Li Mu, and spoke out, "Shall we begin now?"

"Listen to me on the count of one, two, three, and on the count of three, spread your hands together."

"Okay, I'm clear on the rules."

Liamu started counting.

"One, two, three!"

Both men pulled their hands out of the chess jar at the same time and spread them out as the other watched.

The puppet has a white piece in its hand.

Li Mu has a bunch of black powder on his hands.

The puppet laughed, "You have no son in your hand, you lose!"

Li Mu scoffed, "Take a closer look, what's this pile of black powder?"

Puppet fixed his eyes to take a closer look, and then realized that the pile of black powder was actually the product of holding broken black seeds, so that the other side of the hand is in the hands of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son.

Li Mu said with a straight face, "Although I have a son in my hand, I have no son, I am none, you are one, I am less than you, you lose."

With that, he blew out the black powder as much as he could, leaving the inside of his hand empty.

The puppet froze and was frozen for half a day before nodding his head and saying, "Makes sense, you're empty, I'm one, I've got one more piece than you, I lose."

The two men once again put their hands in the chess jar.

Li Mu gritted his teeth and said, "One, two, three!"

Puppet grabs out a large handful of white pieces and spreads them out in his hand, and Little Brother Lee grabs out a black stone ball.

He went so far as to crush all the black seeds and clench them into a stone ball.

There's no need to compare them at all, it's obvious that the weight of a stone ball is greater than the weight of a handful of stones.

The puppet had to admit, "Good, you win again, this level, you may leave."

Li Mu asked wistfully, "Do you need to show something before you leave?"

"What do you need to show?"

"You just said that if we lose, the end is death, now that you've lost, what face do you have to continue surviving?"

The puppet's brain was again inadequate, and he sat there, half speechless.

Lin Wan secretly went to tug on her husband's clothes, signaling him not to make a fuss, since she had won, she could just hurry up and leave, so why make a fuss.

Li Mu ignored her, but continued to the puppet, "Winning allows you to live, losing ensures death, this is the rule you set, are you going to go back on your word?"

The puppet nodded and said seriously, "You're right, it's a rule I made, I can't break it, do it, I can take the punishment."
