Eternal Night

Chapter 248 Ancient History
The boy's name is Ren Tu, and he is the leader of this generation of Untouchables.

“…We the untouchables can never be cut off, because we will reincarnate.”

Ren Tu said to Wu Xianxiao seriously: "Every untouchable who dies will give birth to a new untouchable among the sinners... I also became an untouchable when I was eleven years old."

Hearing this, Wu Xianxiao's doubts and curiosity grew more and more, because this kind of situation involves the cycle of life and death, which is the most advanced level even in the supernatural field. For example, the death resurrection attribute he now possesses is already one of the thirteen singularity technologies in the real world. It is something that has reached the pinnacle in the field of science and technology, and it is nothing more than allowing the dead to say goodbye to familiar friends and relatives in a short period of time.

Perhaps the supernatural realm is somewhat special, but to revive such a repeated cycle of life is definitely not something that ordinary supernatural beings can do, not to mention these people who are obviously untouchable to ordinary people.

According to Wu Xianxiao's estimation, even the Mother of No Birth may not be able to control reincarnation, and this reincarnation will happen countless times.

After all, the vacuum hometown is just 0.2 of the baseline reality. Who is this small thing that ran out from the Buddhist world... or a big thing? Is he trying to fool anyone?

So either these untouchables are some kind of trap or pit, or this so-called reincarnation is false.

Wu Xianxiao asked curiously, "Do you still remember what happened in your previous life?"

Ren Tu hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't remember. I don't remember whether I was a man or a woman in my previous life. It's not just me, it's the same for all of us untouchables. But we remember some more important things, ancient history, exploring the truth, and then... expelling Buddhist principles and Arhats!"

Wu Xianxiao nodded and asked again: "Since you can all reincarnate, then why are you afraid? At most you can just die once... Well, without your memories, then you are truly dead."

Ren Tu's face suddenly turned red as he said, "I'm not afraid of death. None of us are afraid of death! But we are afraid that we won't be able to die!"

"What do you mean?" Wu Xianxiao was stunned.

Ren Tu panted and said, "The monks have all kinds of extraordinary means to bind the consciousness and soul of life to the flesh, skin and bones. This is the basis of the magic tools they make, and it is also the greatest despair for us untouchables. Do you know? They treat us untouchables not as advertised to the outside world, such as burning with the red lotus fire. Instead, they peel off our skin and make it into thangkas, make our bones into magic tools, and seal our flesh and blood with secret methods, so that we can neither live nor die, and we can never be revived in other sinners and become new untouchables!"

It turned out to be the case.

Wu Xianxiao nodded and understood why Ren Tu's first thought after realizing he was discovered was to commit suicide, and he did it in a very covert and respectful way. He was afraid that he would be caught by the extraordinary people in the monastic community and would never be reborn.

Wu Xianxiao asked again: "How do you explore ancient history? To be honest, I think you are doing useless work. When night falls in this world, the area outside the city immediately becomes a dead zone. In other words, unless you have a way to overcome the dead silence outside the city, your range of action is only half a day's walking distance. And don't you work to deceive the people around you? So how do you explore ancient history?"

Ren Tu hesitated for several minutes, and Wu Xianxiao did not urge him, but just sat quietly beside him.

After a long pause, Ren Tu finally exhaled and said, "This is actually the deepest secret of us untouchables, but after thinking about it, this secret is actually not very meaningful, because even if the monks know this secret, they still can't stop us from exploring ancient history... Sacrifices and writing, this is the biggest secret of us untouchables."

"What do you mean?"

Wu Xianxiao was a little stunned, thinking to himself, could it be a cult? They needed to kill people and perform magic to obtain the so-called ancient history? If that was the case, then he could only slap them to death, wasting his whole night.

Ren Tu had no idea that life and death could happen at this very moment. He just said calmly, "When the monks perform sacrifices, words will appear in some hidden places in the city, underground, under certain buildings, including under the city walls, under the sewers, or in hidden places of sculptures. In addition to words, some of the most secret places also have simple pictures. This is the earliest exploration of ancient history."

Wu Xianxiao was stunned for a moment, and his doubts and curiosity increased. He immediately asked, "Let's not talk about this strange archaeological behavior first. Since you said this is the initial exploration of ancient history, does that mean there is another level, or even a third level of exploration of ancient history?"

Since everything has been said, Ren Tu no longer concealed it. He continued, "Yes, the first layer of ancient history is these messy, secret texts written by unknown people. They only appear during sacrifices, when monks make instruments, or when Arhats preach."

"The second layer of ancient history is hidden outside the city, in the wilderness. It can only be explored during large-scale sacrifices, or when large instruments are being manufactured, or when Arhats are preaching. Because at this time, the sins in the wilderness will not surface. It is safe even at night. It usually lasts for two to three days, depending on the number of people used as sacrifices, the grandness of the sacrifice, and the number of instruments manufactured. Only at this time can we leave the city to explore these ancient historical sites, or go to other cities."

Wu Xianxiao nodded silently. If the cold aura outside the city had a time point when it would stop, then they could indeed leave the city to explore and go to other cities... as long as they acted fast enough.

But there are still some things that make Wu Xianxiao confused.

Because these kinds of ruins in the wild have been around for so many years, couldn’t the monks or Arhat Juntubotan have discovered them?
Wu Xianxiao still asked: "What about the third level of ancient history exploration?"

Ren Tu continued, "The third level is also the final level. It is said that all the secrets, the ultimate weapon, and the ultimate truth that drives away the Buddha's principles and Arhats are hidden there...but we haven't figured out a way to get there yet."

Wu Xianxiao was stunned for a moment and said, "Could it be that the ultimate secret is hidden in the Luohan Temple in the center of the continent? If so, then I would doubt what kind of ancient civilization and ancient history you are talking about."

"How is that possible?" Ren Tu shook his head. He looked up at the sky and said, "The ancient history of the third layer is hidden in the flames of karma."

"In the fire of karma?"

Wu Xianxiao was completely confused, so he repeated it, and Ren Tu said, "You know that our world is in the shape of a round sky and a square earth, right? It is said that originally this world was not called Futu Zhubiqiu, but another name, but this name has been completely lost, and Futu Zhubiqiu was named by Arhat, meaning a world that carries many bhikkhunis. The word Futu also means pagoda, floor, and number of floors in Buddhist philosophy, and Futu Zhubiqiu means this, a world that carries many bhikkhunis... So, what is under this world?"

Wu Xianxiao frowned and said, "As far as I know, under this world is the void of the Red Lotus Karma Fire, and the whole world is suspended on the Red Lotus Karma Fire. Those monks all believe that it was the Arhat who held up the whole world and prevented it from being destroyed by the Red Lotus Karma Fire. Is that right?"

Ren Tu shook his head and said, "I don't know if this is true, but one of my companions did go to the edge of the continent before. According to him, the continent was indeed suspended above the Red Lotus Karma Fire, and he died not long after returning because he was corroded by the Red Lotus Karma Fire."

Wu Xianxiao nodded naturally.

As for the extraordinary worldview, a continent suspended on the red lotus fire, such a worldview is not surprising. At least it is not a world carried by a giant turtle or an elephant.

The mission continued, "According to the summary of the second-level ancient history that we have discovered over the generations, more than one ancient history has shown that the ultimate secret and the ultimate weapon are in the Red Lotus Flame. If we want to know the truth, we must go to the Red Lotus Flame. But so far, we don't know how to get to the Red Lotus Flame."

After hearing this, Wu Xianxiao stopped asking questions and just sat next to Ren Tu and thought carefully.

This world of cause and effect of the Unborn Mother is indeed the extraordinary worldview under the Buddhist system, but it is the kind that he hates the most, with three classes, human flesh, human skin, human bones, and ritual instruments, and especially completely voluntary slaves.

Slaves are not scary, but when slavery is voluntary and people are even proud of it, they are no longer human.

Maybe they have no way to resist the extraordinary, maybe they have been slaughtered and enslaved generation after generation, maybe they have been severely brainwashed, but at least they should have a little sense of resistance in their hearts, right?

Without even this, Wu Xianxiao couldn't treat them as human beings.

As for these more than thirty untouchables... no matter whether they are traps or something else, they are not slaves, they are human beings, and even warriors.

"Very good story, very good will to resist, and very good eyes..."

Wu Xianxiao stood up, dusted himself off, and was about to turn around and leave. He said, "Try to stay on the edge of the city for the next two days. There may be a big commotion in the city. I will try my best to sense your location and avoid affecting you."

As he spoke, Ren Tu suddenly rushed over and hugged one of his thighs and said, "Heavenly Evil Demon, what do you want to do!?"

Wu Xianxiao frowned and looked at Ren Tu and said, "You can guess what I'm going to do. I'm already an evil demon from outer space, so why not kill a few more monks for fun? Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I will rush to the palace area and clear out these monks. If the Arhat comes, I will fight him too. If possible, you untouchables just watch carefully. I will give you some vent."

Ren Tu was horrified and said, "No, you can't beat him. He's Luohan, a god. You can't beat him!"

Wu Xianxiao said indifferently: "Whether we can win or not, it's useless to say it with your mouth. We have to fight to know. Besides, it's not like I haven't killed source-level pollutants before."

After saying that, Wu Xianxiao was about to push Ren Tu away, turned around and left.

Ren Tu held him tightly, and said in a tone that was familiar yet unfamiliar to Wu Xianxiao: "No! No! Luohan is very strong. If you can really beat him, the city will be destroyed, and without the protection of the Buddha's light, everyone will die, everyone will die!!"

Wu Xianxiao said strangely: "I told you I would be careful to avoid you. There aren't many of you. When a fight really starts, can't you just find a place to hide? As for those sinners and pure ones... they are not even human beings. Monsters and pieces of meat won't feel any pain at all, right?"

"No! They're people! They're people!"

Ren Tu suddenly began to cry. He gritted his teeth and finally spoke out the deeper secret buried in his heart: "They are heroes! The secondary ancient history we found has repeatedly claimed that they are heroes who sacrificed themselves to death!"

"It's written on ancient historical inscriptions. It's written on ancient historical inscriptions. Their ancestors and our ancestors agreed on this!"

"We are the two Kunluns. They stay to die, and we leave and wait for our chance in the darkness. You can't kill them!!"
