Brother Fa said, "We don't have the power to kill a divine being head-on, and we don't have sufficient military strength or talent here. If it comes to slaughter one of our cities, we'd be powerless against it."
"So, should we attack Heishui Province or not?" Ma Lin asked.
Brother Fa said, "We should attack, using the method of keeping the Swamp God honestly in its stinking swamp and not coming out."
Ma Lin asked, "Can this really be done?"
Brother Fa said, "There is a way. Gods are very arrogant, and this Swamp God has a weakness, which is its fondness for gambling. We'll go and gamble with it."
Ma Lin said, "This sounds interesting, but what kind of gambling method?"
Brother Fa said, "You take me there, and then I'll decide. The simpler the gambling method, the more effective it will be."
"I'm very worried," Ma Lin said, and he truly was worried.
Peru and Peng Si also expressed that this method was not good.
"Brother Fa, don't do this, we should use a simpler method."
