Zhao Sheng was even more surprised to see a monk here.
The monks were not well-received in the Dayong Dynasty, as their arch-enemy, the Dazhen Dynasty, was a Buddhist state.
Over the years, countless Dayong people had died at the hands of the Dazhen people, and the two dynasties had long formed a vendetta that spanned hundreds of lifetimes, impossible to resolve.
It was easy to imagine the hateful glares that monks in the Dayong Dynasty would receive.
Seeing Zhao Sheng's surprised expression, Old Man He chuckled and said, "Taoist Zhao, this high monk is our Water Element Envoy among the Five Elements Envoys, the Wuxiang Monk!"
"Amitabha! I, the Wuxiang Monk, have the honor of meeting Master Zhao." He loudly chanted with his palms pressed together, his voice echoing like a clear spring, refreshing to the soul.
"I am Zhao Zhiqin, pleased to meet you!" Zhao Sheng, marveling inwardly, quickly returned the gesture.
