Chapter 7 Lifespan is determined by God

　　Luo Cetian put away the blue leather booklet as he smiled and said, "Boss man two, it's all been recorded." 　　Only then did a smile appear on the short rune master's face as he said, "Since it's all done, then this year's hair binding ceremony is over, let them all disperse." 　　Receiving the short rune master's command, Luo Cetian shouted another end to the following. 　　Most of those quiet villagers didn't leave, but instead talked at Zhou Fan and the others on the round altar. 　　Luo Cetian turned towards Zhou Fan and the others and said, "You may put on your shoes and clothes and go back." 　　Zhou Fan put on his top in a depressed mood. 　　The skinny monkey cried and came over and hugged Zhou Fan, "Ah Fan, why are we so miserable?" 　　Zhou Fan just wanted to say something, the thin monkey's parents is a face pulled away from the thin monkey, with the thin monkey away. 　　At this time, Zhou Yi Mu and Gui Feng also quickly walked up to the round altar, Zhou Yi Mu's face was bitter and said, "Let's go home, go home and talk about it." 　　Gui Feng's tears were on the verge of falling, but she also knew that this was not the time to cry, instead, she pulled Zhou Fan and walked towards the outside of the round altar. 　　Walking through the crowd, there were quite a few village people who knew each other who came over and patted Zhou Yi Mu's shoulder as a sign of comfort. 　　Zhou Yi Mu didn't say anything, just walked outward with a wooden face, and no one would stop the three members of the Zhou family at this time. 　　Luo Cetian who stood above the round altar happened to see this scene, he sympathized and shook his head, he registered the numbers, naturally he knew that Zhou Fan was the person with the smallest number this year, there have been several with such small numbers in the history of Sanqiu Village, but this is ultimately a very rare situation. 　　Without any words along the way, Zhou Fan three people soon arrived home, once at home, Zhou Yi Mu reached over to take off Zhou Fan's shirt. 　　Zhou Fan quickly reached out to help, and his blouse was quickly taken off, with that 'nineteen' number at his heart socket still as bright as blood. 　　After reconfirming, Gui Feng sat paralyzed like a lost soul, silently wiping her tears. 　　Zhou Yi Mu looked at the number 'nineteen' and sighed, he sat on a wooden chair in the small hall, picked up a hookah and lit it up to smoke, his forehead wrinkled with three horizontal lines. 　　Zhou Fan kept quite calm and asked, "Father and mother, I've forgotten everything, what's wrong with you guys, what's going on with these numbers?" 　　Zhou Yi Mu exhaled a mouthful of white smoke before his voice was hoarse, "Ah Fan, the number on your heart socket is your longevity, nineteen means you can only live until your nineteenth birthday." 　　Longevity? 　　This number was indeed related to age, but Zhou Fan did not think that this was his longevity number! 　　Zhou Fan's face was stunned as he glanced at the bright red number 'nineteen' in his heart and said, "Father, is this kind of thing true?" 　　If so, wouldn't that mean he could only live for four years? 　　Zhou Yimu said with a sad face, "Of course it's true, longevity is never wrong, if a person doesn't have any illnesses or pains before he dies and doesn't meet with any accidents, then he can only live to the day of his longevity if he's smooth." 　　Zhou Fan frowned slightly and said, "Is it the reason for the hair binding ceremony, if I didn't take part in the hair binding ceremony, then would everything be able to change?" 　　Zhou Fan somewhat suspected that this was caused by the hair binding ceremony, otherwise why would his heart socket show a blood colored number? 　　Zhou Yi Mu shook his head and said, "Ah Fan, longevity is innate, the hair binding ceremony is only presided over by a talisman master, so that those of you who have reached the age of fifteen years old are able to rely on the power of the talisman and the beast's blood to stimulate the qi and blood in their bodies and to make longevity visible, the hair binding ceremony will not harm anyone, or else we wouldn't have let you attend it." 　　"Only when you have reached the age of fifteen, you won't hurt your body due to the impact of the beast blood, so no matter what place you are from, you have to bind your hair at the age of fifteen to know your longevity." 　　Zhou Fan slightly bowed his head, he was a bit lost in thought, he always felt that it was too ridiculous, but having seen the horror of the Yin Ghost yesterday, this world originally did not have any common sense to speak of, and having a unique lifespan didn't seem to be anything strange, it was just a moment that was hard for him to accept. 　　"Why do we need to know our lifespan? What will happen to people on the day they actually reach their lifespan?" Zhou Fan asked two more questions. 　　Zhou Yi Mu was silent as he took a puff of smoke from the mouth of the pot, spitting out white smoke before saying, "Knowing one's lifespan is in order to make that person's heart count, and even more so for the village's development, if you live to the day of your lifespan, it means that your life span is exhausted, and at that time, there will be a lifespan ghost that will appear to take your life away." 　　"In order to make your heart count, for the development of the village, the longevity ghosts take away your life ......" Zhou Fan muttered, he took a deep breath and asked, "Then there is a way to stop the longevity ghosts from taking away your life?" 　　Zhou Yi 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 over the life, the lifespan has been exhausted, that person can only die, this is the iron rule, no one can change it!" 　　Zhou Fan froze for a moment and said, "Then is there a way to increase longevity?" 　　Zhou Fan was very reluctant, 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 was occupying this body that caused this longevity to be so low! 　　There was no way to stop the longevity ghost from taking over his life, so he could only try to change the longevity! 　　"Ah Fan, it's impossible, how can the lifespan be changed? My poor son ah ......" Gui Feng cried out in pain, her lifespan was sixty-seven, while Zhou Fan's lifespan was only nineteen, then she was doomed to be sent away in vain. 　　Zhou Fan sighed, he picked up Gui Feng and comforted her, "Mother, don't worry, there is always a way." 　　"Longevity ...... or it is not impossible to change." Zhou Yi Mu suddenly spoke. 　　Gui Feng froze before blurting out, "Are you crazy, how can longevity change? I've never heard that longevity can be changed." 　　Zhou Fan said sharply, "Mother, don't be in a hurry, father, what method are you talking about?" 　　Zhou Yi Mu hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, I'm not too sure, I just heard Boss Man Mao say that if one can cultivate to a higher level, it is possible to increase longevity." 　　"And who is Boss Man Mao?" Zhou Fan's first thought was to confirm the authenticity of the message. 　　Gui Feng spoke first, "Boss Man Mao is one of those two talisman masters you met today, but did Boss Man Mao really say that?" 　　When Zhou Fan heard that it was one of those two talisman masters, he believed most of it and shifted his eyes to Zhou Yi Mu. 　　Zhou Yi Mu smiled bitterly and said, "I confirm that he said so, but he said it in a very vague way, and I'm not quite sure if it's true or not, and at what level does it have to be." 　　"If he said it then it's not wrong." Zhou Fan heard hope, and he hurriedly asked for something more crucial, "What is cultivation?" 　　What is cultivation? 　　Zhou Yi Mu and Gui Feng looked at each other, and a difficult look appeared on their faces. 　　In the end, it was Zhou Yi Mu who frowned and said, "Ah Fan, cultivation is cultivation, we are not cultivators and we don't know how to explain it to you."
