Chapter 253

Since the Vajra Dharma Protector came and left, the way everyone looked at Wu Pifu started to change.

They all knew Wu Pifu was very strong. The Untouchables thought he was a demon from beyond the heavens, and the real demons from beyond the heavens, Yaomeng and others, thought he would be very strong after developing his Super-Brain in the future, and now he was just potentially strong.

Because of inexplicable feelings, although everyone knew he was strong, they felt he was weak. Along the way, everyone's heart was filled with this contradiction.

But now, no one felt that way anymore.

Both strong and brutal, his actions were simply earth-shattering.

The six-meter-high golden human figure, standing up, was the height of two or three elephants. Just standing there gave people a sense of invincibility, and the gold was not just a color, but a real metallic feeling.

After the battle, Yaomeng's team members tried to take a piece of flesh and blood. Its mass was comparable to metal, and a piece the size of a fist weighed seven or eight kilograms. It was hard and tough, and even when they took out the cutting daggers they carried with them, sparks flew when they cut on the skin.

Real copper skin and iron bones!

As a result, in front of Wu Pifu, with just one slap and a tear, it was gone, and it was a very cruel death of flesh and blood separation and being smashed to pieces.

This was no longer a simple question of powerful strength, but a question of powerful strength and extreme brutality!!

Ren Ping, Yaomeng, except for Jiujiu and Daphne, everyone else secretly revealed expressions of 'I'm still alive, what a luck'.

"What the hell are you guys winking at!?"

Wu Pifu saw a small river ditch appearing in front, jumped in to wash off the blood on his body, and turned around to see everyone relieved and winking. He cursed angrily, disgusted by the smell of blood on his body, continued to splash in the water for a few times, then jumped to the shore, and said to Ren Ping, "How much further?"

Ren Ping felt panicked in his heart, didn't dare to look at Wu Pifu, just lowered his head slightly and said, "Not far now, it's deep in this forest, demon from beyond the heavens... my lord, it's really not far, we will definitely arrive before noon."

Adding a 'my lord'... even the Untouchables who were not afraid of death were subdued by Wu Pifu's fierce power.

Wu Pifu just nodded silently. He looked up at the sky and said, "Then let's walk faster. After arriving, let's have lunch first, and then explore this historical ruin."

The many Untouchables naturally had no objections, but they really had some other thoughts in their hearts, thoughts called 'hope'.

Too desperate!

Really too desperate!

Even though the Untouchables were passed down from generation to generation, their numbers were constantly decreasing. Even if one person was caught by the monks every ten years, no one knew how many Untouchables had been caught and made into Dharma artifacts until now.

By Ren Ping's generation, the total number of Untouchables in the eight cities was probably less than three hundred, and they were still continuously decreasing.

The most critical thing was that they couldn't see any hope... After each generation of Untouchables died, although a new generation of Untouchables would be born, these Untouchables didn't possess the memories of the previous generation, only the most basic cognition, and the pursuit of the truth of ancient history, knowing some basic common sense, such as manufacturing Dharma artifacts, sacrifices, and not having curses outside the city when Arhats preach.

Then they had to secretly collect ancient history, from the city to outside the city, and then they would be found and caught by the monk group if they were not careful. And even if they avoided the monk group, they would eventually be troubled by the secrets in the Red Lotus Karma Fire.

Generation after generation... they couldn't find hope!

But now there was this demon from beyond the heavens, who seemed to be opposed to Buddhist Dharma, maybe...

At this time, Yaomeng also came back to her senses from Wu Pifu's brutal behavior just now. She had more thoughts in her heart about persuading Wu Pifu to end this Dream World quickly and go save Chu Minghao immediately.

Yaomeng came to Wu Pifu's side and said, "Mr. Wu, it seems you intend to save the world, but to be honest, although your strength is very strong, there is still a huge gap from the strength to save the world. Even Mr. Chu Minghao has not truly completed any redemption of a world of 0.6 and below. Of course, this also has to do with Mr. Chu Minghao being watched by more than a hundred root-level terrifying existences of 0.3 and below, but saving a world is ultimately very difficult..."

Wu Pifu nodded and replied, "Yes, saving a world is very difficult, so since the last Dream World, I have told myself that if there is no need to save, and no complete certainty, I will not try to save the world. You are right, saving a world... is too difficult."

Yaomeng was overjoyed and said eagerly, "Especially a world like this one in front of us. We can all see that those Sinners and those Purified Ones are long past saving, and the few remaining Untouchables can only struggle to survive. No, they can't even struggle to survive. Forgive me for being blunt, even if the ancient times of this world were a super high-tech civilization, according to their description, isn't this even worse?"

"Luo Han brought the Buddhist forces and descended when the civilization of this world was at its peak, forcibly blowing up this world, so they left behind the Sinner and Purified One mode, plus the monk group mode. Even the civilization at its peak was defeated. What is the point of them digging for the truth of ancient history? We all know... high-tech weapons have no effect on these pollution monsters from the roots. Even if there are so-called weapons of mass destruction and secret weapons, it's impossible to win. If there were such weapons, how were they defeated in the first place?"

"They, and this world, have no meaning anymore!"

When these words were said, Wu Pifu's expression remained unchanged, but those Untouchables all lowered their heads.

They were just pretending to be Sinners, and none of them were stupid. It was impossible for them not to think of this simple logical reasoning.

If the civilization that left behind ancient history really had any weapons of mass destruction, why didn't they use them? When the Luo Han first descended, why were they defeated?

Everything they did... was it really meaningful?

As they walked, some of these Untouchables shed tears, but they were all people with firm wills. They just shed tears, but bit their teeth tightly, biting their mouths full of blood, and still didn't make a sound.

Wu Pifu said indifferently at this time, "No, their actions are meaningful!"

The Untouchables were stunned, and Yaomeng was also stunned. Many people secretly looked at Wu Pifu.

Yaomeng asked immediately, "What is the meaning? What is the meaning of them doing this? Death after death, repeating the footsteps of predecessors, then finding the truth of history, finally dying in despair, and then the next generation... What is the meaning of all this!? It's better to smash the whole world, at least they don't have to be skinned, have their bones extracted, be made into some meat lotus, and then kneel on the ground full of joy!"

Wu Pifu shook his head seriously and said, "I don't know what the meaning of their actions is now, but from the last Dream World, I learned one thing, that is, the resistance of life against injustice, disaster, and despair itself has meaning!"

Speaking of this, Wu Pifu felt as if he had returned to that stormy night.

Thunder tore through the sky, the storm raged, the rain whistled, but what this represented was hope. That was hope exchanged with the lives of tens of millions of people, hope exchanged with the lives of a group of heroes called 'Azure'...

Wu Pifu continued, "So I decided to take another look, wait a little longer, understand a little more, think a little more. At least I have to understand what these Untouchables are desperately seeking, what they are insisting on, whether they have really fought and sacrificed for this world, for these countless miserable humans, and then I can know whether their actions are meaningful. Before that, you assert it, don't you think you are too arrogant?" Yaomeng was surprised and said loudly, "I'm arrogant? The situation in this world is clear at a glance. Except for them, all other humans have been tamed into human-shaped meat lumps that are sweet to pain, enslavement, and torture!"

"But they didn't!"

Wu Pifu said seriously, "Even if there is only one person left fighting, I am willing to stop and listen to their narration, listen to their heroic deeds of resistance and battle!"

Wu Pifu said this decisively, making Yaomeng unable to refute, because this was no longer a philosophical debate in language, but a clash of thought and will.

Hearing these words, although the Untouchables were still extremely heavy in their hearts, their steps were a little faster.

Sure enough, before noon, around 11 o'clock, everyone arrived deep in this forest. In a covered pit downward, the Untouchables brought everyone to a 'historical ruin', and from the perspective of Wu Pifu and others, this was an underground self-service ticket hall and waiting hall, and further inside was the collapsed subway security check entrance...

This was indeed a building that only existed in the technological era. Although it was already unrecognizable inside, various utensils were completely corroded and rusted, and there were many plants and insect corpses, but the general shape and function could still be seen.

As they arrived in this underground building, Wu Pifu indeed saw many texts floating on the walls, metal, or rocks.

Yaomeng waved her hand towards the team members, and several team members began to act.

Yaomeng explained, "I'll let them collect information and conduct era testing here."

!

Wu Pifu nodded and looked carefully in this underground building.

"... Finally found this ruin. Amani will be made into a meat lotus today. She fanatically volunteered to dedicate herself... I, I don't know what to do..."

Beside him, a team member of Yaomeng was also scanning these texts, and at the same time reported, "This text was recorded 821 years ago. It shows human blood as pigment, but how can human blood leave text traces for as long as 821 years without changing?"

Wu Pifu said nothing and continued to look.

"... Lao Zhuang is back, but he is also dying. He told us that the curse in the dark night is very terrifying, but he saw his mother inside... the mother of this generation, his mother hugged him and fought with other terrifying ghosts. His mother was torn into pieces, but he was lucky enough to survive a night..."

The team member followed Wu Pifu, continued to scan and detect, "1,177 years, still blood smearing."

"... Red Lotus Karma Fire cannot be approached, and cannot even be looked at with the naked eye. Three of us were blinded. After returning, they rotted all over and died within a few days. So, how on earth can we go into the Red Lotus Karma Fire?"

"961 years, blood."

"... 133 Untouchables were caught. Buddhist Dharma is becoming more and more strict. Our existence may have been known by the Luo Han, but He didn't catch us all in one net, because... does He find it interesting? Watching us ants struggle crazily, is it interesting!?"

"660 years, blood."

At this time, Ren Ping suddenly said to Wu Pifu in the distance, "My lord demon from beyond the heavens, please look here!"

Wu Pifu walked over and saw a string of texts, still bright red, as if they had been written with fresh blood just yesterday.

"... Wrong, wrong, they are not toys, not cowards, and even less are they meat lumps! They are heroes, they are heroes who sacrificed even more than us! Only with their sacrifice, we have hope..."

"Leaving behind liver and gall, two Kunlun Mountains! One stays, one walks into the darkness, only then do we have hope!"

"I returned from the Red Lotus Karma Fire, but I haven't found that key information, and I'm dying... successors, to go to the Red Lotus Karma Fire, there must be their sacrifice, only by relying on..."

The handwriting became more and more sloppy. By the last few words, it was already without any rules, almost guessing, and most importantly, the text after 'sacrifice' was covered by a large pool of fresh blood, and nothing could be seen.

Ren Ping said sadly, "We have searched for many, many ancient histories generation after generation, only this piece of information is closest to the truth. But we can't see what the truth is, it's all covered by fresh blood..."

Wu Pifu stared at the words 'Leaving behind liver and gall, two Kunlun Mountains' for a long time. At this time, Yaomeng suddenly walked over and said, "Let us do it. Leave this kind of thing to professionals."

Many Untouchables looked at her, and Wu Pifu also asked in surprise, "This is sprayed with fresh blood all over the wall, and you can still see the text behind it?"

Yaomeng nodded and said, "As long as there is really text, not false blanks, then according to the different time of writing before and after, even if it's only a few seconds apart, our instruments can distinguish them. You must know that our ancient object time retention detection can even be accurate to the second!"

Wu Pifu saw Yaomeng and several personnel carefully scanning this bloodstain with instruments, and then they used the results of their scanning to perform overlapping composition. A few minutes later, reconstructed text appeared from the instruments they were holding.

"... Only by relying on Thangkas made of their skin to wrap the whole body, can we go deep into the Red Lotus Karma Fire!"

"Thangkas!?" Many Untouchables were chanting in disbelief.

The so-called Tang Ka refers to human skin personally peeled off by monks, shade-dried after secret methods, and then extraordinary-ized by Buddhist Dharma. Part of the soul and consciousness of the peeled person will remain on the human skin, and this is one of the Dharma artifacts of the monks, possessing extremely strong defensive power, and is also called 'Pure and Sinless Clothing' by the monks.

Yaomeng said immediately, "From that golden human figure, we have already been exposed. We may encounter an ambush after returning to the city!"

The Untouchables were suddenly enlightened at this time. There was a hot light in their eyes, but before they could say anything, Wu Pifu said first, "Let's go, let's go to the edge of the world and take a look."

"I want to see with my own eyes what that so-called Red Lotus Karma Fire is!"
