Chapter 7 Life Expectancy
Luo Litian put away the blue booklet, and he said with a smile: "The two elders have all been recorded. ”
Only then did the short talisman master smile on his face and said, "Since it's all done, then this year's hair binding ceremony is over, let them all disperse." ”
After receiving the order of the short talisman, Luo Litian shouted to the following again.
Most of the quiet villagers did not leave, but talked about Zhou Fan and the others on the altar.
Luo Litian turned to Zhou Fan and said, "You can put on your shoes and clothes and go back." ”
Zhou Fan was depressed and put on his shirt.
The thin monkey cried and hugged Zhou Fan and said, "Afan, why are we so miserable?"
Zhou Fan just wanted to say something, but the parents of the thin monkey pulled the thin monkey away with a straight face and took the thin monkey away.
At this time, Zhou Zhou Mu and Gui Feng also walked quickly onto the round altar, and Zhou Zhou Mu said with a bitter face: "Let's go home, let's go home." ”
Gui Feng's tears were about to fall, but she also knew that this was not the time to cry, but she pulled Zhou Fan and walked towards the outside of the round altar.
Walking in the crowd, many acquaintances from the village came over and patted Zhou Yimu's shoulder to show comfort.
Zhou Zhou Mu didn't say anything, just walked out with a wooden face, and no one would stop the three members of the Zhou family at this time.
Luo Litian, who was standing above the round altar, happened to see this scene, he shook his head sympathetically, the number he registered, he naturally knew that Zhou Fan was the person with the smallest number this year, and there were several numbers so small in the history of Sanqiu Village, but this situation was very rare after all.
Without any words all the way, Zhou Fan and the three of them soon arrived home, and as soon as they got home, Zhou Yimu reached over to take off Zhou Fan's shirt.
Zhou Fan hurriedly reached out to help, his shirt was quickly taken off, and the number 'nineteen' in his heart was still as bright as blood.
After reconfirming, Gui Feng sat paralyzed as if he had lost his soul and silently wiped his tears.
Zhou Zhou Mu sighed when he looked at the number 'nineteen', he sat on the wooden chair in the small hall, picked up the hookah, lit it and smoked it, and wrinkled three horizontal lines on his forehead.
Zhou Fan kept quite calm and asked, "Daddy, I forgot everything, what's wrong with you, what's going on with this number?"
Zhou Zhou Mu spat out a puff of white smoke before he said in a hoarse voice: "Afan, the number on your heart is your lifespan, and nineteen means that you can only live until your nineteenth birthday." ”
How long do you live?
This number is really related to age, but Zhou Fan didn't expect that this is his lifespan!
Zhou Fan's face was stunned, and he glanced at the bright red number 'nineteen' in his heart and said, "Dad, is this kind of thing true?"
If so, doesn't that mean he only has four years to live?
Zhou Mu said with a sad face: "Of course this is true, the number of longevity never goes wrong, if a person is not sick or painful before he dies and does not encounter any accidents, then he can only live until the day of his life." ”
Zhou Fan frowned slightly and said, "Is it the reason for the hair binding ceremony, if I don't participate in the hair binding ceremony, will everything be changed?"
Zhou Fan was a little suspicious that this was caused by the hair binding ceremony, otherwise how could a blood-colored number appear in his heart?
Zhou Zhou Mu shook his head and said: "Afan, the longevity is innate, and the hair binding ceremony is only presided over by the talisman master, so that you who are fifteen years old can rely on the power of the talisman and the beast blood to stimulate the qi and blood in your body, and let the longevity appear, the hair binding ceremony will not harm people, otherwise we will not let you participate." ”
"Only when you reach the age of fifteen will you not hurt your body because of the impact of beast blood, so no matter where you are, you have to tie your hair at the age of fifteen and know your lifespan. ”
Zhou Fan lowered his head slightly, he was a little distracted, he always felt that it was too ridiculous, but he had seen the horror of the yin ghost yesterday, there was no common sense in this world, and it didn't seem to be a strange thing to have a unique lifespan, but it was just difficult for him to accept it for a while.
"Why do you want to know your lifespan, what will happen to people when they really reach their lifespan?" Zhou Fan asked two more questions.
Zhou Zhou Mu silently took a puff of cigarette from the spout of the pot, and exhaled the white smoke before saying: "Knowing your lifespan is to let that person know in his heart, but also for the development of the village, if you live to the day of your lifespan, it means that your lifespan is over, and then there will be a longevity ghost to take your life." ”
"In order to let myself know in my heart, for the development of the village, the Shou Ghost will take his life......" Zhou Fan muttered to himself, he took a deep breath and asked, "Is there a way to stop the Shou Ghost from taking his life?"
Zhou Zhou Mu shook his head and said: "It's impossible, even if it's a talisman master, it's impossible to stop the Shou Ghost from taking his life, his life span is over, that person can only die, this is an iron rule, no one can change it!"
Zhou Fan was stunned for a moment and said, "Is there a way to increase the number of lifespans?"
Zhou Fan was very unwilling, if he could only live for four years, what was the point of crossing over? He even guessed that it might be because his soul occupied this body, which led to such a low lifespan!
There is no way to stop the longevity ghost from taking his life, so he can only try to change the longevity!
"Afan, it's impossible, how can the lifespan be changed?My poor son......" Gui Feng cried bitterly, her lifespan was sixty-seven, and Zhou Fan's lifespan was only nineteen, so she was destined to send the white-haired person to the black-haired person.
Zhou Fan sighed, he helped Gui Feng up and comforted: "Mother, don't worry, there will always be a way." ”
"Longevity...... Or it's not impossible to change. Zhou Zhou Mu suddenly spoke.
Gui Feng was stunned for a moment, and then said loudly: "You can't go crazy, how can the number of longevity be changed? I have never heard that the number of longevity can be changed." ”
Zhou Fan said urgently: "Mother, don't worry, Dad, what are you talking about?"
Zhou Zhou Mu hesitated for a moment and said: "Actually, I'm not sure, I just heard Master Mao say that if you can cultivate to a higher level, you can increase your lifespan." ”
"Who is Old Master Mao?" Zhou Fan's first thought was to confirm the authenticity of the news.
Gui Feng spoke first: "Elder Mao is one of the two talismans you have seen today, but Elder Mao really said that?"
When Zhou Fan heard that it was one of the two talismans, he believed most of it and moved his gaze to Zhou Yimu.
Zhou Zhou Mu smiled bitterly: "I'm sure he said so, but he said it very vaguely, and I'm not sure if it's true or not, and at what level." ”
"That's not wrong when he said that. Zhou Fan heard hope, and he hurriedly asked more crucial things, "What is cultivation?"
What is Sadhana?
Zhou Zhou Mu and Gui Feng glanced at each other, and their faces showed embarrassment.
In the end, it was Zhou Zhou Mu who frowned and said: "Afan, cultivation is cultivation, we are not monks, and we don't know how to explain it to you." ”
