Chapter 91 How can we not make good use of this?
obviously.
Another high priest of the radical faction should be loyal to Diesel.
But that's none of their business anymore.
Since Lavis took the initiative to approach them, how could Zhang Changgong and his group not make good use of it?
The fact that the radical faction is riddled with internal conflicts is definitely good news for the Great Xia Dynasty.
At least, they don't have to spend a lot of energy to completely annihilate the enemy.
All that's needed is to win over the dinosaur people who are willing to rebel against Diesel's dictatorship.
Of course.
The prerequisite is that they must develop an antidote for the poison that Diesel used to control them.
Otherwise, how could they possibly be turned?
Thinking of this, Zhang Changgong's gaze couldn't help but fall on the shell bottle.
"Dr. Su, you wanted to see me?"
Allen walked in from outside, looking at Su Yang with some confusion.
When he saw the shell-shaped bottle on the moss, he was stunned.
Clearly, he hadn't expected to see that thing.
"Shaman, you mentioned before that there's an ancestral site within the territory of the healing faction?"
Su Yang looked up at Alan.
"right."
Allen nodded, the image of High Priest Velen flashing through his mind, along with the fleeting killing intent.
"Was there any danger within the ancestral ruins?"
"Danger?"
Allen paused for a moment, then began to think.
After a while, he finally spoke.
"I have heard about that. The high priest sent people in before, but they all died inside the ruins."
"I see."
Su Yang nodded.
It seems that Lavezzi's words are not without merit.
That so-called ancestral site must be quite dangerous.
Otherwise, why would Velen have let it go unchecked?
How much do you know about the situation within the radical faction?
Zhang Changgong suddenly spoke up and asked.
"For example, do the two high priests of the radical faction harbor resentment towards the Dragon King Desel?"
"I don't know."
Allen shook his head, then continued, "But there are probably still conflicts within the radical faction. After all, quite a few people were forced to stay under Diesel's command because they were forced to take poison."
"OK."
Zhang Changgong nodded.
"Shaman, sit."
Han Bei gestured for Alan to sit down.
Upon hearing this, Allen glanced at Han Bei and the others who were sitting cross-legged on the ground.
He frowned slightly, then sat down as well.
But she quickly adjusted back to her most comfortable position.
"Shaman, what's the deal with ancestral worship?"
Once Allen sat down, Han Bei couldn't help but lean over and ask.
"Ancestor sacrifice?"
Upon hearing this, Allen looked at Han Bei in surprise. "Did Al tell you again?"
"hold head high."
Han Bei nodded, looking at the other person with great interest, "Explain to me, what is the procedure for your ancestral worship ceremony?"
Hearing Han Bei's words.
Su Yang and Zhang Changgong were also staring at Alan.
I wanted to see what the other person would say.
After all, not long ago, Asavin specifically came to tell them to participate in the ancestral worship ceremony.
"Let me explain."
Seeing this, Allen couldn't refuse.
He explained the general process of the ancestral worship ceremony.
"Your ancestral sacrifices involve offering sacrifices to your own people?"
Han Bei was stunned after hearing this.
Clearly, they hadn't expected that this so-called ancestral worship would involve using members of the same kind.
The kind of people Han Bei was referring to weren't those dinosaurs that hadn't yet developed intelligence, but rather real dinosaur-people.
Human sacrifice.
How is this different from the period before the Shang Dynasty?
In the ancient Xia Dynasty, human sacrifices were also performed, but the vast majority of those used in sacrifices were slaves.
However, it was later abolished.
Han Bei never expected that such a bad habit would exist on the planet Jurassic.
Su Yang also frowned slightly.
However, he did not say much more.
After all, it's their business, not theirs.
What kind of sacrifices the other party makes is none of their business, nor are they interested in it.
"This sacrificial custom has existed for a very long time."
Allen, on the other hand, was used to it.
These customs are all passed down from their ancestors, so they can't really refute them.
Moreover, this custom has long been deeply ingrained in people's minds.
Even if High Priest Velen wanted to abolish this custom, he would face opposition from the vast majority of people.
This shows just how deeply ingrained this custom is.
"Outdated customs."
Han Bei slightly pursed his lips.
If this custom is so deeply ingrained in people's minds, what is it if not a bad custom?
With so many alternatives, why not use those unintelligent dinosaurs instead?
Just like in ancient times, when six kinds of livestock were used to replace sacrifices, wasn't that a good thing?
To put it bluntly, it's feudalism.
"By the way, Shaman, what were those dinosaur stone sculptures for?"
Han Bei recalled the stone sculptures beside the altar and couldn't help but ask.
"Those four stone sculptures are the ancestors of my dinosaur people. The so-called ancestral worship is to worship those four as representatives."
Allen explained.
"What outstanding contributions did they make?"
Han Bei asked curiously.
Generally speaking, those who are worshipped in the Great Xia Dynasty are mostly those who have made outstanding contributions.
Otherwise, who among ordinary people, except for their closest relatives, would have nothing better to do than perform a sacrificial ceremony?
"The contributions of those four ancestors were indeed significant."
Allen nodded. "It was those four who invented fire, taught us how to hunt and grow medicinal herbs, and created writing."
"Why does this sound a bit like the story of the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor, and Cangjie?"
Han Bei couldn't help but say to Su Yang.
Suirenshi invented fire by drilling wood, the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor taught the people to recognize and cultivate various herbs, and Cangjie created characters.
This is ridiculous.
He's a perfect replica of the founder of the Xia Dynasty.
"Hmm, it does look somewhat similar."
Su Yang nodded helplessly.
"What are those four round stones for?"
Han Bei, still somewhat unwilling to give up, continued to ask.
Forget about the four stone sculptures, what about the stone piers at the four corners?
"That's used to tie people up."
Allen scratched his head. In his memory, the earliest rumors about those stones were that they were used to restrain the dinosaur people who did not want to be sacrificed.
However, as time went by, this custom became deeply ingrained in people's minds, and the dinosaur people had no objection to becoming sacrificial offerings.
In fact, most people felt that becoming a sacrifice was an honor for them.
Becoming a sacrificial offering meant being able to see those four great ancestors.
Han Bei was utterly astonished upon hearing this.
Asking about feelings is pointless.
"Shaman, has there ever been a precedent of outsiders participating in ancestral rituals here?"
Su Yang asked.
"no."
Allen shook his head and spoke with some surprise.
"Let alone outsiders participating in the ancestral worship ceremony, even among the dinosaur people, not everyone can participate."
That's strange.
Upon hearing this, Su Yang felt a deep sense of confusion.
Even their own kind might not be qualified to participate in the ancestral sacrifice, but the high priest of the healing faction, Velen, said that they could also participate in the ancestral sacrifice, and even sent someone to do so.
This point contradicts what Allen described.
