I am a ghost messenger, why do I need a long life?

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Dragon Palace fell into dead silence.

Including Zhang Xian, Yuan Shicheng, Qi Kai, and even Xu An, they were all stunned.

Jiang Hanye was even more annoyed.

He stared with his eyes wide open and his mouth slightly opened, looking at the pretty boy with dragon horns, as if leaving two slaps on his extraordinarily expensive clothes.

Let monks eat meat?

What's the difference between this and shaving a dog, plucking a chicken, or scaling a fish?

Looking up, Xu An hurriedly looked at Leduan.

His first reaction was to refuse.

Before, he didn’t understand why Yuan Shicheng and Mo Di had such a bad relationship and didn’t get along with each other.

At this moment, he finally understood.

Compared to Yuan Shicheng, who doesn't care about anything and just lives his life in his own way, Modi's performance is even more annoying.

However, before Xu An could speak, Le Duan spoke first:

"Dragon King, do you want to see me break my vows?"

Seeing his hesitation, Modi laughed and said sarcastically:

"Aren't you trying to save the people of Yangzhou? In this world, nothing comes without a price."

Upon hearing this, Leduan's calm face showed no extra expression. He said with a very calm look in his eyes:

"Since the Dragon King has said so, I hope that if I do it, I can keep my promise."

Mody paused for a moment, then asked:

"Of course I keep my word, but if you start eating meat, wouldn't that mean you're breaking the strict rules and precepts of Zen Buddhism? Your faith in the Dao will be damaged, and how will you survive the tribulation?"

"That won't bother the Dragon King."

Having said that, Leduan picked up the piece of fat and fresh meat in front of everyone and brought it to his mouth.

"Grandmaster…"

Zhang Xian was stunned, as were the others; no one had expected things to turn out like this.

They originally thought that Mody would not agree and refused to cooperate with them, and at most they would return empty-handed.

Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, it would become necessary to break the precepts in exchange for this.

"It doesn't matter."

Seeing their reluctant expressions, Leduan felt a little relieved. Then he chewed the meat several times in front of everyone and swallowed it.

Modi looked at his expressionless face and said in disappointment:

"Why do you still have that expression? Doesn't it taste good? Even if it doesn't taste good, don't you have any entanglement or pain in your heart?"

"It's boring, so boring! It turns out what they said is true. The old Zen monk is like a stone in a toilet, smelly and hard!"

Xu An and Jiang Hanye looked at each other and saw that Modi actually started jumping on the spot, and they couldn't help but want to hold back their laughter.

So this is Mody's evil taste?

He obviously didn't know that Leduan had a expressionless face. No matter what happened during the time they knew each other, there was no extra expression on his face.

Even when he was angry in the street, holding the broken wooden Zen stick, his face remained calm. They both saw it clearly.

Zhang Xian was standing nearby, his teeth aching as he watched. He quickly asked:

"Master, are you okay?"

Leduan immediately shook his head and said:

"Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but the Buddha remains in the heart. If the world tries to imitate me, they will still fall into the devil's path. If all living beings can awaken, they will all become Buddhas..."

Thinking about what Xu An said during the debate that day, Leduan felt relieved, but his face remained expressionless. He turned to stare at Mo Di and said:

"Dragon King, keep your word. I have done as you said. It's your turn now."

Modi was still in that unhappy state. After being reminded by Laoduan, he came back to his senses and clapped his hands, saying:

"Come on, pass the order down and search for the unusual magical weapon in the water."

The shrimp soldiers and crab generals outside immediately received the order and dispersed to start searching for any abnormal existence in the entire water system.

"Everyone, my aquatic tribe is present in all the water systems, big and small, in Yangzhou City. If we find anything unusual, we will report it immediately. Please wait for now."

Yuan Shicheng was still unhappy when he saw his expression, but fortunately he kept his word, so he didn't take it too seriously.

He reached out, took out the music watch, looked at the cloud pattern on it, and found that there was still no response, and he felt numb all over.

Time just keeps passing by, minute by minute.

In the city of Yangzhou, in the numerous interconnected water systems, aquatic creatures such as live fish, live shrimp, scallops, oysters, turtles, eels, conchs, crabs, slugs, etc., all began to look for abnormalities in the water under Mody's instructions.

Most of the small fry can't provide any important information, but they can help spread the word that Mody wants to find something.

The shrimp soldiers and crab generals then transformed into their original forms and swam around in the river.

In Yangzhou City, many people who had just been poisoned were stunned when they saw the huge shrimps and crabs that suddenly appeared in the rivers and lakes. They were more than a person's length and wondered if they had seen it wrong.

Of course, it was impossible to be wrong, because just after the shrimp soldiers and crab generals finished swimming, a turtle as big as an island appeared in the water. The huge turtle shell was comparable to a black-sailed boat and could easily carry several people.

The old turtle paddled his feet and searched carefully in the water. He had lived for more than two hundred years and had become a congenital turtle, with a very strong intelligence.

At this moment, he knew in his heart that as long as he found the special thing that the Dragon King wanted to find, he would definitely be able to gain great benefits.

By then, it might not be difficult to transfer from the Qinhe Lake system to the East China Sea Dragon Palace to seek an official position.

Everyone has their own aspirations, and turtles are no exception.

To ordinary people, the Yangzhou water system may be very large, so large that it can cover their entire lives.

But for this turtle, this water system is too small, like a cage trapping him.

The turtle's head shook, and at this moment, its eyes shone with a faint green light, as if it could see through all the mud and sand at the bottom of the water system.

Just as he was searching hard, suddenly a faint light caught his attention.

The innate turtle flicked its claws and swam over quickly. It opened its mouth and spit out a strong stream of water, which immediately rushed over.

Immediately afterwards, a special creature shaped like a jade bone and like a fang revealed its shape.

The turtle blinked his eyes and looked at the black and purple stripes on the surface, which seemed to have a special power flowing in it, and his heart suddenly froze.

Seeing him emitting black and purple power continuously and quickly dissolving in the water, it was so special that it must be related to what the Dragon King was looking for.

Thinking of this, the turtle turned its head and looked around. Taking advantage of the opportunity when no other aquatic creatures noticed, it opened its mouth and grabbed the jade bone with black and purple power.

The moment the stable environment was disturbed, the black and purple power on the jade bone suddenly emitted a luster, as if a pair of black and purple eyes opened and closed invisibly in the darkness.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of power ripples like iron chains suddenly burst out from the jade bone, passing through the old turtle that was holding him madly, and piercing him with holes in an instant!
