The night was dark and windy.
On the eastern shore of Tai Lake, an army of thousands was drinking water and cooking by the lakeside. The military discipline was not very strict, and there was noisy chatter, which seemed very loud in the quiet of the night.
However, compared to the disorderly armies of Yangzhou and Gusu that Zhao Changhe had seen before, this was already considered a well-organized elite force.
It was the vanguard army led by Bodhisattva Fa Sheng.
The so-called "Bodhisattva" was not a title of Fa Sheng, but a rank within the Maitreya Sect, meaning he had taken many lives—the "Bodhisattva" also referred to a state of enlightenment, and taking any more lives would mean becoming a Buddha… Fa Yuan's earlier expectation for Zhao Changhe was that he could achieve the level of Bodhisattva.
