Chapter 243: Respect for the Elders

The reason why they were able to interact like this was precisely because of Tashi Tugen's kindness, and all the people who were kind here were less than one-tenth of him.

You must know that when he was nine years old, there was a flash flood here due to the melting of snow, and before the flood flooded the village, the place almost became a mess, and people prepared dry food and other goods to go to the opposite hill to escape the flood.

In the process of this crowd of people, a family whose child had just passed his third birthday was lost on the way, and when his life was on the verge of death, everyone did not care about the safety of the people in the same village, and hurried to the opposite hill faster than the other, for fear that they would drown in the flood if they walked slowly.

When Tashi Tugen's parents went out to work, he was the only one left in the family, and when he learned the news, he began to work hard with the child's family, but at that time, people were panicked, and they searched for a long time in the chaotic crowd without finding any trace of the child, until the whole village was empty, and there was no trace of the child.

The flood water had begun to break through the old embankment on the hill and rushed towards the place along with the mudslide, and the parents of the children were really helpless, and after some painful struggles, they finally chose to leave the place, after all, even the two of them would be buried here.

When they left, they deliberately wanted to protect Tashi Tugen and evacuate with him, after all, although he was a child, but no one in the whole village helped him, a child stepped forward, and they had to keep Tashi Tugen safe no matter what.

Moreover, the three-year-old boy had just arrived in this world, and he could not bear to see the tragedy happen, so he ignored others, and while they were not paying attention, he rushed towards an old courtyard in the east of the village in the direction of the flood.

Because there is only there, I have not looked for it.

However, when the flood was imminent, the child's parents could not stop Tashi Tugen from entering, and in desperation, the two sighed, showed a strong sense of self-blame, and fled from here.

Entering the old courtyard, as Tashi Tugen expected, the three-year-old child was playing next to the water tank, without the slightest sense of danger in front of him, the sound of the water gradually became clear, and the flood was getting closer and closer to the village. Without saying a word, he took off his coat and hurriedly picked up the child and tied it behind his back, wanting to escape, but the speed of the flood was too fast.

Layers of mud and waves were like fierce tigers, swallowing here with the sound of thunderous water, and if you fled now, it was too late.

He saw a large willow tree in the center of the old courtyard, and despite the crying of the children behind him, he climbed up in three or two strokes, and almost at the same time that he climbed to the top, the mud flowed from the soles of his feet less than half a meter, and the sound of rustling water sounded particularly terrifying.

A nine-year-old child is not afraid to see this natural disaster, but there is a smaller life behind him, and if he does not appear, then this little life will never see the sky again. In order to avoid being afraid, he looked up at the sky as much as possible, and did not look at the turbulent mudslide under his feet.

Gradually, the sound of the water stopped, and all the mudslides slid under the soles of the feet, and the willow roots were washed out by as much as half, and the mud covered the ground about half a meter thick.

Two lives survived in such an incredible way, and from then on the story of one life saving another was heard by the villagers, who then took up the power of faith to say things, and praised him for doing this.

However, at that time, all of them ignored him, only took care of their own lives, left their inner beliefs behind, and more importantly, when Tashi Tugen turned into a dried corpse at the age of thirteen, the villagers regarded him as a monster, rejected him, spit on him, and some even tried to expel him from the village. If it weren't for the respect of the elders, I'm afraid his family would have moved a long time ago.

Is it the distortion of people's hearts in society, the extremism of faith, or is it that good people should be like this, they should have sacrificed their lives to save people from fire and water, and they should have been spurned by others, he doesn't understand where these people's beliefs go, and he doesn't want to understand, because he only knows the direction of his heart.

His kindness is innate, if it is related to family education, it is also reasonable, after all, his parents instilled in him such an idea since he was a child, it can be said that if Tashi Tugen is put in ancient times, he must be a great sage who sacrifices himself for others, and if someone encounters danger to his life, I am afraid that he will be the first person to sacrifice his life to save him.

After a night of chatting, Shen Jiangtao gradually figured out the character of Tashi Tugen, this person is good physically and mentally, but he is an acute person, and many things basically can't be hidden in his heart.

It's like when Elder Zun found him, he told him not to tell anyone here, but the night he came back, he told them about Elder Zun taking him as an apprentice, and he almost never lied, and before the next day, the news spread.

For another example, he said that once he went to the elder, he would be inexplicably brought with a triangular talisman, and at the same time, according to the time regulations, he would bow to a statue he did not know, in fact, in his heart, he would not bow to any god except for the worship of the Buddha.

It is precisely because the elder is so famous in this area that no matter who he bows to, as long as the elder thinks it is good, it is good.

Gradually, Shen Jiangtao vaguely judged from some of the information in his mouth, in his opinion, it was inevitable that this venerable elder would have problems, in fact, he was a feng shui master who knew how to use the art of talismans.

Although he did not know what kind of feng shui layout the scene was, it was certain that through the role of the statue, feng shui bureau and talismans, it could have the effect of absorbing the energy of other people's bodies.

Shen Jiangtao didn't tell Tashi Tugen what he thought, because he knew that a person with firm beliefs like Tashi Tugen would say it in vain.

Tashi Tugen said that in fact, everyone has only heard about the elder, and in fact, very few people have actually seen it, and it can be said that in the Mangkang area, at most, there are only three people who have seen the elder, and it can even be said that there are no three people, maybe only the two apprentices of the elder have seen it, and as for where the elder lives, even his two apprentices do not know.

He only knew that every time the elder sent someone to pick them up, as soon as they got in the car, they fell asleep inexplicably, and when they woke up, they had already appeared in a deep mountain, surrounded by mountains, and no one would remember what it was.

Many people want to find this elder, but no matter how they look for him, they can't find him, only he can find someone else, others looking for him is like ascending to the sky, and some people say that the old man actually has a certain spiritual cultivation, he can appear in our area all the time, but we can't see it.
