Grace 6371
At night, it rained heavily.
The black wolf huddled motionless on the side of the stone.
Master Qiku and Zoya were both wearing coir raincoats and stood quietly in the rain.
At first, Zoya was still talking. Later, she became more and more sleepy. When the heavy rain gradually stopped, she fell asleep leaning against the manidui.
In the early morning, Zoya suddenly woke up. She opened her eyes and glanced around, her eyes fixed.
"Black Wolf is gone!" Zoya exclaimed.
"It's gone." Master Qi Ku said, "After surviving last night, its life was saved."
"This is its nature." Zoya shrugged.
On the grassland, I don’t know how many creatures disappear every day, and I don’t know how many creatures come into this world.
The life and death of a wolf seem so insignificant compared to the vast expanse of grassland.
It can be born, that is its creation.
"Master, if you don't drink water, you will definitely die." Zoya looked at Master Qiku with cold eyes.
She has been following Master Qiku for a while. She has already regarded Master Qiku as her relative and has learned a lot of knowledge. But she just can't understand why the master refuses to eat or drink. She has seen the prairie priests praying.
There will be something like this.
"All conditioned phenomena are like bubbles in a dream, like dew or lightning, and should be viewed as such!"
Master Qi Ku recited a Buddhist sutra and said slowly: "Zoya, read more sutras and you will understand the Buddha nature of the human heart. At that time, you will understand that everything the poor monk does is a kind of practice."
"Okay, Master, I'm going back first. I will recite the Diamond Sutra you taught me at all times."
Zoya nodded.
There is currently only one Buddhist sutra taught to her by Master Qiku, and that is the Diamond Sutra. She has a good memory and has memorized the entire text, but she does not understand its meaning.
Perhaps in her opinion, having a full meal is of greater significance than being able to memorize Buddhist scriptures, and she has not yet been able to realize the epiphany.
Fortunately, she listened to Master Qi Ku in other aspects. Since Master asked her to recite it, she should recite it every day.
She got on her horse. After a rain, the animals that were locked up needed food and proper care.
As for Master Qi Ku, she thought that when he was too hungry, she would force-feed him. Even if he would scold him later, she would admit it.
On the grassland, Master Qiku prayed for the herdsmen, and word spread quickly.
The nearby herdsmen made an appointment to come and see Master Qiku after a few days.
They have all received the blessings of the Master of Seven Sufferings.
In recent times, the daily changes in grassland, the death of livestock, and the spread of diseases on the grassland have caused the death of relatives in almost every household.
They could not afford the high funeral expenses, but fortunately Master Qiku recited sutras for them for free, eliminating their biggest expense.
This is a great blessing!
The Buddhism's cycle of life and death calmed their conscience. They don't have to be afraid of suffering in this life, and they can seek for the next life.
Not cultivating this life but cultivating the next life is a great temptation for poor herdsmen like them. At least they have a little hope again.
The most important thing for a person to live is hope.
Losing hope turns a person into a zombie.
As they gained hope, they became more and more grateful to Master Qiku. A small number of herdsmen even regarded Master Qiku as a god.
A few days later, hundreds of nearby herdsmen gathered together and walked toward the pile of mani piled by Master Qiku.
"Wolf!"
"That's the Wolf King."
"Yes, I've seen him before, the wolf king nearby."
"I have seen wolves hunting antelopes, they were very ferocious."
The herdsmen saw a black wolf holding an earthen pot in its mouth next to the Mani pile and placing it on a stone. Then he squatted next to Master Qiku and looked at everyone.
Everyone was stunned, this was simply a miracle.
One of the most ferocious creatures on the grassland, the Black Wolf King, actually offered a water jug to a human.
What is this if not a miracle?
"Is the master a god descending to earth?"
"The master must be a god in the sky. We can't see it, but the Wolf King can."
"Yes, I want to kneel down and worship the gods and let them bless me."
The herdsmen who were dubious at first no longer dared to doubt it.
At this moment, between the clouds on the horizon, a ray of sunlight penetrated the dark clouds and fell on Master Qi Ku. Under the reflection of the cassock, it seemed to be plated with a layer of gold.
The herdsmen present knelt down on the ground one after another. Even if there were still water stains on the ground, they didn't care.
Master Qi Ku formed a seal with his fingers and smiled slightly.
At this moment, he already understood that the spread of Buddha's teachings was unstoppable.
But having a believer is not the end, but just the beginning. The stormy waves he will face will be unprecedented. Whether he can gain a foothold in the grassland depends on how he copes with it next.
In the next few days, whenever he was thirsty, the black wolf would bring water in his mouth; when he was hungry, the black wolf would bring wild fruits and food.
Originally, the black wolf brought a hare in his mouth at first, but Master Qiku had to abide by the rules on the grassland, and he would not eat meat.
And the black wolf is indeed worthy of being the wolf king. After realizing this, he no longer picks up those meaty things, but only picks up wild fruits and the like.
Even though survival is difficult, Master Qiku can easily persevere with Black Wolf.
The black wolf is fate and opportunity. It is not a human being, so Master Qiku accepts its support.
Zoya came to see Master Qiku every now and then. Every time she came, she would recite the Diamond Sutra to Master.
Gradually, she began to realize something, understood some principles of life, her whole person became profound, and she was no longer an ordinary prairie girl.
A few more days have passed, and the day when Master Qiku's merits will be completed is getting closer and closer.
A huge team came up on the grassland. Ten horses pulled a pale golden tent and walked on the grassland. They were surrounded by guards with swords, bows and crossbows. There were hundreds of people in the team, heading towards the location of Master Qi Ku.
Come in the direction.
When approaching Master Qiku, he stretched out a hand from the tent and made a gesture, causing the whole team to stop.
Then, the attendant next to him quickly stepped forward and opened the tent, and a man walked out of the tent.
Wearing a hollow gold crown and silk clothes, he has a very handsome face, but his eyes, with their raised corners, look a bit enchanting.
He is King Hulan!
One of the four kings of the Dameng Tribe on the grassland, King Hulan.
His power is second only to the Khan of the Mongolian tribe, Jili Khan, but he is low-key and does not like to be arrogant.
The Mongolian tribe is the largest tribe on the grassland, and it was the largest among those that fell apart after the collapse of the Hungarian Empire.
The current Khan of the Mongolian tribe is called Jili Khan. He is a talented and strategic king who has the intention to annex other tribes and restore the glory of the Hungarian Empire.
King Hulan did not object to this. After all, he was also a descendant of Tian Khan, and he also wanted to restore the glory of his ancestors.
