"What did you feel?"
Taoist Changgeng asked quickly.
He knew that it must be a big deal for Lu Fan to say it solemnly like this.
"I feel like I'm seeing the end of my life."
Lu Fan's expression was extremely solemn.
A master like him always has some faint sense of his own life, and he can almost know when he will die.
Just like Taoist Chang Geng, he comes out once every hundred years. After wandering around for a while, he feels that he has seen the end of his life and quickly hides back in the ice coffin.
This is the secret of his immortality.
If he didn't have this ability, there would only be two consequences, either he would hide in too early and waste not enough time, or he would hide too late and waste himself to death.
When Taoist Chang Geng was still weak, he chose to simply take a wave and then hide back quickly.
But now he can control his own time.
This was one of the reasons why he agreed to Lu Fan borrowing the ice coffin. If he hadn't ensured that he wouldn't need it for the time being, he wouldn't have been able to lend out the ice coffin, which was as precious to him as life, even if he was killed.
Of course, Taoist Changgeng cannot see the end of his life indefinitely.
He can usually see it several years in advance.
This is enough.
But how old is Lu Fan?
Even if he is really poisoned by this village, he will not live past the age of forty, so he shouldn't be able to see it now, right?
Taoist Chang Geng still regards Lu Fan as a master of the same level as himself. He feels that what he has achieved, the other party will not be able to achieve too much.
But how did he know that they could barely be considered at the same level, only with their strength value.
"It seems that I have really obtained the physique of the Immortal Village, and my life will end at the age of forty."
Lu Fan looked calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
But this thing is undoubtedly an extremely cruel thing.
Even Taoist Chang Geng would feel very sorry.
Judging from the strength Lu Fan has shown at his current age, his future is limitless.
But if you can only live to be forty, that's too suspicious.
"Is this destiny?"
Taoist Chang Geng couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, destiny!"
Lu Fan nodded.
"Destiny cannot be violated, even if it is me, it is difficult to go against it."
Although some people say that they, practitioners, are going against heaven, they know in their hearts that they are going with heaven most of the time.
They spend most of their lives exploring the location of destiny, learning the laws of destiny, mastering the essentials of destiny, and using this to increase their own strength.
But at the same time, destiny is also the biggest constraint in everyone's life.
It's exactly what Lu Fan said, destiny cannot be violated! How many people can really defy nature?
"That's such a shame."
Taoist Chang Geng felt helpless and could only sigh with great regret.
However, the psychological pressure he felt when facing Lu Fan suddenly became much lighter.
Originally, due to the gap in strength, he was somewhat unable to hold his head high in front of Lu Fan.
You have lived hundreds of years longer than other people, but your strength is not as good as others. How can you be so embarrassed?
But now, since this kid is destined not to live past the age of forty, what's the big deal about whether he wins or loses for a while?
Although Taoist Chang Geng is the loser for the time being, he is still the one with a brighter future.
"It's too early to say it's a pity now. As the saying goes, there are four or nine heavenly beings. If a person escapes one of them, no matter how strong the destiny is, there is never any absolute."
Lu Fan still smiled easily.
"What's the meaning?"
Taoist Chang Geng's expression changed.
"There is no perfect path for everyone."
Lu Fan turned his head and looked at the ice coffin placed at his feet.
Bingxue is still lying in the ice coffin, waiting for his treatment.
However, is the curse of the Immortal Village, which comes with the curse of not being able to live past forty years, really the best way to cure it?
Although many people feel that as long as they are saved now, they will still make money even if they do not live to be forty years old.
But Lu Fan felt that he had to make the decision himself, and no one else was qualified to make such a decision on his behalf.
It's a pity that Bingxue himself can't make any decisions now.
"Taoist Changgeng."
Lu Fan thought for a long time, and suddenly seemed to have figured out something.
His sudden call frightened Taoist Chang Geng who was thinking about his own thoughts.
"Um?"
"Can I ask you to do me a favor?"
Lu Fan said very seriously.
"I want to challenge this destiny, but it may take three months or even half a year. During this period, can you help me protect the law and protect this girl?"
"this?"
Taoist Chang Geng did not expect that Lu Fan would make such a request to him.
To be honest, requests like this can only be made by life-and-death acquaintances.
Because in this primitive forest, there are dangers everywhere, and protecting two defenseless people is not a very simple matter.
The most important thing is that Taoist Chang Geng has nothing to do with Lu Fan. Even his appearance here is partly due to coercion.
So why did Lu Fan ask him to be the protector?
Of course, Taoist Chang Geng also knew that Lu Fan had no one else to turn to.
But this kid can wait until he leaves the virgin forest to find an absolutely safe place before doing this! He is still early in his forties, so there is no need to take risks in such a hurry.
"Why did you choose me?"
Taoist Chang Geng thought for a long time and couldn't help but ask.
"Because I think you are a trustworthy person."
Lu Fan smiled very openly.
Taoist Changgeng was very touched.
He was once trusted by believers, but he was deceiving believers by using his strength to deceive people.
But now, a person whose strength was still above him actually said that he trusted him, which moved him a little.
"What's in it for me?"
Although he was a little moved, Taoist Chang Geng still would not agree easily.
"If I succeed, you will also benefit greatly, but if I fail, I'm afraid I will die directly, so I can't promise you anything now."
Lu Fan shook his head.
His frankness surprised Taoist Changgeng even more.
"Okay, I promise you!"
"Thanks."
Lu Fan glanced at him and then sat down cross-legged.
He formed a mudra with his hands in front of him, closed his eyes, and soon entered a state of forgetfulness.
Taoist Chang Geng looked at him and felt that at this moment, some surprising changes had taken place in his body.
