Chapter 6

After saying this, the young man pointed in one direction, it was the hinterland of the Great Snow Mountain, for Tashi and all the people in Metuo, they all knew that it was a no-man's land, there was nothing in it, and after passing through an area of several hundred kilometers, it was the zone where India and Nepal met.

And the temple and this area of the connection, there is no road, only a place that can be called a cliff, although it is not a real cliff, but because of its snow and steepness is not far apart, the drop is more than 200 meters, very steep, is the most dangerous place in this lama temple.

No one would come from this direction, Tashi smiled, he thought the young man must be pointing wrong. But he soon realized that something was wrong, because where the young man stood, there were only a pair of lonely footprints.

There is no extension. In this snowy night, it is necessary to have such an effect, unless the young man falls from the sky. Or, literally, climbed off a cliff.

Tashi: "Why did you stop?"

Young man: "It's warm here. ”

The young man pointed to the charcoal stove, and at this time, the door of the temple opened, and the eighty-four-year-old Grand Lama Naruhito walked out of the temple gate and walked towards them standing at the door.

Grand Lama Naruren hadn't left his practice house for three years, and Tashi was amazed at his sudden appearance. I saw that the Grand Lama Naruhito took out something from his monk's robe and said to the young man, "Please stay for a while, I have someone here and someone has left something for you." When Tashi came to his senses, he saw Lama Naruhito holding a scroll of scriptures in his hand, and he couldn't tell which one it was, but it didn't seem to be the one they read regularly.

Tashi suddenly understood the reason why Grand Lama Naruhito had placed a charcoal stove at the door, and if anyone passed by here, they would inevitably pass by the lama's temple, and when they saw the charcoal stove, they would inevitably stop to rest. Could it be that the Great Lama knew that someone would come from the hinterland of the vast snow-capped mountains today?

No, no, Tashi thought. No one could walk through that no-man's land, it was so big that even if you walked for a few months, you might not be able to reach the end, and the worst thing was that there was no road at all, and no one could walk hundreds of kilometers to get out of there.

Grand Lama Naruhito did not greet the young man again, but turned back into the house, and the young man did not hesitate and went straight after him. Tashi was curious, after decades of practice, he rarely became curious about the new things in the world, but the appearance of this young man was so unusual, what was Grand Lama Naruhito doing here? Tashi wanted to know this.

Tashi did not know until four months later, when Grand Lama Naruhito died, and the young man remained in the temple, and the day before his death, Tashi was summoned.

Apparently knowing that his time had come, Grand Lama Naruhito entrusted the temple to Tashi and instructed him one thing at the same time. "You're going to keep that young man in the temple for a year, and you must not let him leave here too soon. Grand Lama Naruhito said to Tashi, "This matter is very, very important, more important than the cultivation of all the people in this temple. Tashi didn't hear a reason why he did this, and Grand Lama Naruhito died.

After Tashi began to manage the temple, Tashi saw the young man at the burial ceremony of the Grand Lama Naruhito and talked to him for the first time, when Tashi remembered the instructions of the Grand Lama Naruhito on his deathbed and asked the young man, "What are your plans for the future?"

His thinking was quite simple, and he felt that the behavior of Grand Lama Naruhito himself was the reason why the young man stayed in the temple, just like the situation of a friend who came to visit and met the sudden death of the master, and the people in the host's family naturally asked the guest what was going on, whether he wanted to stay for a few more days or was going to go back.

If the young man were to leave, Tashi would find some reason to stay and fulfill Lama Naruhito's last wish. Grand Lama Naruhito was in a hurry when he died, and did not reveal much information, so Tashi hoped that through the communication with this young man, he could find an opportunity for him to stay, which should be the reason why he stayed with Grand Lama Naruhito.

Actually, the question he wanted to ask was, "Why do you want to stay with Grand Lama Naruhito?" I can do the same. At the time, Tashi didn't want to ask everything. He didn't expect that, just by asking, the young man began to tell his story.

Later, Tashi learned that the reason why the young man stayed with Grand Lama Naruhito was to tell him everything about himself.

The young man said that he had a disease in which every once in a while he would forget everything that had happened before, and that his brain could not hold new memories except for some childhood events.
