"It doesn't matter, as long as you can cooperate with me."
Lu Fan nodded.
He knew that these people themselves must not know anything. After all, if they knew, they would definitely avoid this kind of thing.
Immortality is cool, but it's not fun if the cost is not surviving past forty.
"Everyone is just doing what they have to do as usual, just pretending we don't exist."
Lu Fan waved his hand.
He was going to observe it from the perspective of a bystander first.
He had already checked Axiu's bloodline before coming here. In terms of bloodline, there was nothing special about Axiu.
In other words, the villagers were not born with immortality, they acquired it.
But what can people here gain from birth, without them even realizing it?
Lu Fan had a few rough guesses in his mind, but he still had to observe and study for a while before he could draw a conclusion.
In the next few days, the lives of the villagers in the Immortal Village returned to their previous state.
They seemed unaffected.
Lu Fan did not deliberately appear in front of anyone. He was like a person from God's perspective, observing the daily life of the villagers from a certain height.
For a few days, everything was calm.
Neither the people from the Immortal Society nor the giant anaconda came back.
The villagers in the Immortal Village live like ordinary primitive residents, backward and dull.
But Lu Fan has found a breakthrough.
He saw a woman about to give birth.
This woman was only sixteen years old. Due to their short life span, the villagers in the Immortal Village generally got married and had children early, otherwise they would never have the chance to have three generations living under one roof.
Giving birth at the age of sixteen is considered normal here.
Lu Fan has been secretly observing her recently.
If people here will definitely change at a certain stage, then the time of birth is obviously the best time.
As a primitive village, the Immortal Village certainly has many traditions of its own.
Every time a child is born here, a thanksgiving ceremony is held.
At the thanksgiving ceremony, the village chief will bless and baptize the new-born child to bless the child with a safe life.
Although the fate of everyone here has been determined since birth, no matter what happens to them before the age of forty, they will not die, and then on the day they turn forty, they will die immediately.
But tradition is tradition, it is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and no one has thought about changing it.
The villagers also hope that one day the blessing baptism will free them from their fate.
"Thank God for giving life. Thank God for giving health!"
The village chief is the man Axiu introduced to Lu Fan before.
At this moment, he was holding a basin of water, dabbing it with a thin branch, and wanted to sprinkle it on the baby.
"Wait a moment!"
Lu Fan, who had been silent for several days, finally appeared and held down the village chief's arm.
"What's wrong?"
The village chief was very puzzled.
"There's something wrong with this blessing."
Lu Fan first took the basin of water and looked at it carefully.
It was normal mountain spring water with no problems. He and Taoist Changgeng had been drinking the same water these past few days.
"Can you show me the child?"
Lu Fan looked at the sixteen-year-old girl who had become a mother.
The girl's face clearly showed a look of fear, and she hugged the child a little harder.
Although she is only sixteen years old, she can be considered a child from any perspective.
But now that she has her own child, the maternal side of her life has been stimulated.
No matter what, she wanted to protect her child, even if she was facing someone who had shown his unstoppable power just a few days ago.
"I just took a look, it won't hurt his life." Lu Fan said in a low voice.
"Let Mr. Lu take a look. If he wants to do anything, we have no ability to resist."
The village chief also sighed.
The weak have no ability to resist when facing the strong.
Sometimes, a strong person does not use coercion, but negotiates with you normally, which itself seems to be a convincing approach.
Even the village chief said so. Although the girl was still a little reluctant, she still handed over the child in her arms.
Newborn babies are very small, only as big as two or three palms.
Even Lu Fan trembled slightly when he took the child.
Newborn babies may be the most amazing creatures in the world. They only have a little bit, but they are full of the greatest possibilities in the world.
The baby left his mother's arms, but did not cry loudly. Perhaps this stranger also gave him a warm feeling.
"I'm sorry, please allow me to hurt him a little."
Lu Fan said softly, then took the baby's little hand and gave it a gentle stroke.
Blood flowed out immediately.
"Wow!"
Although he hadn't cried just now, the pain in his hand still spread to his brain a few seconds later, stimulating him.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't hurt my child?" The sixteen-year-old mother suddenly became excited.
Even if they are immortal villagers, they all know that they will not die, and it will be okay even if they are injured.
But her mother's instinct still made her unable to resist being impulsive when she saw her son being injured, even if the other person was so powerful that it made people desperate.
Lu Fan said nothing.
What he just said was that it would not harm the child's life, but a small injury would still be necessary.
Who gave these people the magical immortality?
"Do not impulse!"
The village chief stopped the young mother.
He is still very sensible.
He knew that a small wound on his hand would not do anything to the child.
But if this woman offends Lu Fan, she might bring disaster to the small village.
You can tell which one is more important at a glance.
Lu Fan didn't pay attention to the two people tearing apart at the side. He just kept staring at the baby's hand.
Minutes passed, and the wound on the baby's hand showed no sign of healing.
This is not normal.
Because Lu Fan had seen with his own eyes that even if A Xiu was injured a hundred times or a thousand times more seriously, he would still show significant improvement within a few minutes.
For such a big injury, Axiu could completely heal it in even half a minute.
This is the true resilience of the undead villagers.
Obviously, this little baby doesn't have this ability yet.
Therefore, their immortal constitution is not innate, but acquired after birth.
But where did they get it?
baptism?
But the mountain spring water used for baptism is the most common mountain spring water, so there is no problem!
Lu Fan fell into deep thought.
