grassland.

King Hulan is a collection of contradictions.

He is both a true king and a compassionate wise man.

This also made him feel like old friends at the first sight and became close friends.

And after these stories of Heilang's repayment of kindness came to his ears, it made him respect Master Qiku even more.

With respect in his eyes, he slowly approached Master Qi Ku with his hands clasped together.

"Master, I'm here."

"Good." Master Qi Ku nodded, without saying anything more or saluting.

This was a crime of disrespecting the king on the grassland and could be punished by hanging.

But King Hulan didn't care. In his opinion, this is what an eminent monk should look like. If he easily succumbs to the power of the world, can he still be called an eminent monk?

"Master, today, I came here specifically to ask the master for some Buddhist teachings. After I received the Heart Sutra taught by the master last time, I gained many new insights."

King Hulan came for a purpose. He studied Buddhism alone, and many people felt that it was like seeing flowers in the mist.

If you are confused, it would be better to ask the master in person for answers.

"What doubts do you have, layman?" Master Qi Ku said.

Afterwards, King Hulan asked about the Buddhist principles he wanted to know, and also talked about a lot of insights he had gained during his practice.

After about half an hour, King Hulan left without feeling satisfied.

Before leaving, he gave Master Qi Ku a lot of items.

"Master, when you come to Hulan City, I will build a temple to promote Buddhism!" King Hulan said solemnly before leaving.

"It's a deal." Master Qi Ku's eyes lit up. This was what he wanted most. If King Hulan could give it to him, he would definitely go back to Hulan City.

Hulan City is some distance away from here, but it does not prevent him from going there.

After everyone left, Zoya came closer.

"Master, King Hulan has given a lot of things as gifts again. This time there are also a lot of silk fabrics and porcelain from Daqi..."

Prairie people are rough by nature, but that doesn't mean they don't like a luxurious life.

In Hulan City, the princes and nobles were proud to use items from the upper class of Daqi. The silk and porcelain that Daqi people liked were more valuable on the grasslands than in Daqi.

"King Hulan is a true believer, but he is still a king of the Golden Tent of the Prairie. He cannot do what he wants and still has to consider the prairie nobles."

The reason Master Qi Ku said a few more words was because he noticed something was wrong with Zoya's eyes, and she seemed to have a good impression of King Hulan.

Let’s not talk about the huge difference in their origins. Let’s just say that King Hulan is never as elegant and easy-going as he appears. There is something deep in his bones.

He truly believed in Buddhism, but deep down, he probably still regarded Buddhism as a tool to get what he wanted.

Master Qiku will not allow Zoya to fall into that quagmire.

"Master, I understand. I just feel uneasy and took something from King Hulan. What should we do?" Zoya said.

Master Qiku felt relieved when he heard that what Zoya was thinking was different from what he was worried about.

"Don't think too much, just follow Master and practice with peace of mind."

Master Qiku did not explain the reason. Although Zoya was smart, she was young and had not learned writing for a long time. She could not understand what was said to her too deeply.

After he allowed King Hulan to go to Hulan City, he had already reached a tacit agreement with King Hulan.

After accepting his favor, you must do things for him. This is inevitable.

A few days later, Master Qiku prayed for the last day, and the nearby herdsmen came again and sat cross-legged with the master, waiting for the last moment to come.

At this time, the grassland on the horizon suddenly appeared gray.

"Wolf, a pack of gray wolves."

Someone raised his head inadvertently and shouted in shock.

The other herdsmen all looked up and looked in the direction he pointed...

Sure enough, a pack of wolves came over there, all gray-furred wolves.

The leader is a tall gray wolf, which is obviously larger than the surrounding wolves. Although the distance is still relatively far, the fangs in the gray wolf's mouth can be seen from a distance.

The herdsmen could no longer sit still, and some were even ready to get up and run away.

Many herdsmen came on horses, and now they can escape on horseback.

But the problem is, even if you encounter a pack of wolves, you can't escape on horseback.

The coyotes' patience and speed are amazing, and they also possess extraordinary intelligence.

The wolves know how to divide their forces, make detours and encircle them, etc. The herdsmen riding prairie horses were easily eliminated by the wolves.

"Amitabha, donors, don't panic. There are poor monks here, so there is no need to be afraid of wolves."

Master Qi Ku put his hands together and recited a Buddhist verse.

"Master, this is a pack of wolves. We don't have weapons, so I'm afraid we can't defeat them."

"Master, we can't fight and we can't escape, what should we do?"

"I believe in the master. The master must have a way."

"The Master is a true god, even the wolves fear him."

The herdsmen were terrified, but after Master Qiku spoke out, some particularly devout herdsmen loudly defended Master Qiku.

But only a few herdsmen truly believe in Master Qi Ku, and more herdsmen are fearful.

"Over there, there are wolves over there too!"

At this moment, several herdsmen suddenly discovered that a group of wolves were running towards them in the other direction.

The only difference is that the wolves on the other side are basically black wolves.

As a result, those who wanted to escape in advance were in despair.

There are wolves on both sides, and they are both a large and dark pack of wolves. Where can they escape?

At this point, the only one we can count on is Master Qiku.

Some herdsmen who were particularly timid had closed their eyes and started praying, but some herdsmen believed devoutly in Master Qiku. They found that Master Qiku was sitting on the mani pile, looking calm and composed.

The attitude of Master Qiku also infected those believers, making them gradually calm down.

At this time, the black wolves came later but approached everyone first.

Because the black wolf came from the hillside and swooped down, its speed was a little faster, and the distance was closer to begin with, so it approached earlier than the gray wolf.

"Isn't that a divine wolf?"

A younger herdsman pointed at the largest black wolf among the black wolves and exclaimed.

The herders turned their attention to it one after another.

"It looks like that divine wolf."

"The one who can understand human speech is the wolf following the master."

A few days ago, a black wolf always appeared next to Master Qiku from time to time.

Master Qi Ku saved Black Wolf, and Black Wolf repaid his kindness. This story has long been spread, and from this, the nearby herdsmen also knew about the divine wolf.

If it really is that black wolf, I'm afraid it can be saved.
