With those words, a monk walked out from behind Fangzheng. He was none other than Hong Xiang!
"Hong Xiang?" Wu Xin cried out when he saw him.
Zen Master Hongyan was slightly taken aback. He never expected that another one of his disciples was implicated in the matter.
"Amitabha, it can only be right. The sea of bitterness has no bounds, turn back to the shore before it's too late. Congratulations, Venerable One!" At that moment, Fangzheng pressed his palms together and smiled at Hong Xiang.
Hong Xiang as well as the crowd of monks was taken aback.
Before anyone realized what was happening, Zen Master Baiyun and Zen Master Hongyan pressed their palms together, "Congratulations, Venerable One!"
With the two esteemed monks doing so, everyone quickly copied them. Even if they were puzzled by the gesture.
