NOVEL WEB Pirates of the First Empire
Chapter 245 "Moon Worship" and Inheritance
However, this kind of outdated thinking will eventually be gradually eliminated with the development of the times. With the passing of the high priests from generation to generation, the generation of high priests a hundred years ago...
The high priest broke the rules of the first generation and released many harsh policies. Among them, he began to allow Bika's people to intermarry with outsiders. leave.
The existence of this rule is also the reason why Granny Yura had to leave Bika. Of course, Granny Yura did it voluntarily. No wonder anyone, even if there is no such rule, Granny Yura’s lover is a pirate of the flying pirates. , will definitely not choose to stay here.
However, because of this regulation, the population of Bika, which already had tens of thousands of people, is gradually decreasing. By the generation of the high priest, it has been less than 2 people. On other empty islands, intermarriages must also leave Bika.
There is no way around this. Bika's inheritance regulations are to ensure the purity of the blood, but the blood of other Sky Island people has long been mixed for generations, so even if the other party is also a native of Sky Island. must leave.
The source of all this is because the so-called "temple" stipulated by the high priest, the most basic of which is to ensure the purity of the blood.
The position of high priest, at the earliest time, referred to the high priest in the "temple". At that time, this tribe had just settled in Bika.
The high priest of the first generation was not the supreme leader of the tribe. At that time, the real power of their tribe was in the hands of the patriarch. The patriarch controlled the real power of management, and the high priest was responsible for the sacrificial power of the temple.
Everyone only knows that the "temple" represents the "moon", and their belief is also "the moon", that is to say, everyone in their tribe is a believer in "worshiping the moon".
Only the patriarch and the high priest know that what they worship is not someone else, let alone any god, but their ancestors and ancestral land. Only they know that they come from the "infinite land" on the moon.
As for why the patriarch disappeared and the high priest took over all the power, the high priest didn't explain it clearly. Of course, Carlo and others were not interested in these.
In short, the high priest finally handed over the map to the temple. In fact, this map is not necessary. Almost everyone in Bika knows the address of the temple, because they go to sacrifice at least once a year.
The most important information is about the temple. The high priest told them that the temple has been open for many years, although their sacrifices every year have not been missed.
But the problem is, according to the oral information passed down from generation to generation by the high priest, there is a chance that the temple will be opened after the ritual of offering sacrifices to the temple. At this time, the high priest can enter it and obtain the ability "given by God".
The ability of "God-given" is often extremely powerful, and can easily expand the tribe group. The probability of opening the temple is uncertain, but it will open at least once every ten years.
And the high priest who has received the "God's gift" will "retire" on his own to become the elder of the tribe. According to the description of the high priest, Bika, a tribe of Sky Islanders, had three people who had received the "God's gift" at the peak. "The elders.
However, the biggest problem now is that the temple guarded and worshiped by the Bika people for generations has not been opened for more than a hundred years, which seriously violates the inherited knowledge obtained by the high priest.
Even so, the Bika people still dare not delay the activities of offering sacrifices to the temple, and the high priest is the same, even if he knows something is wrong, as for whether he has thought about stopping the sacrifice, the high priest said yes, stop the sacrifice activities He still dared not make such a decision easily.
In this way, the sacrificial offerings continued as usual every year, and the "gift from the gods" gradually became a true legend. Although the stone gate of the temple was no longer open, no one dared to approach it, let alone open it on its own initiative. .
……
Carlo's purpose, of course, is to...
"Second Highness, what is in this temple, has His Highness explained to you? There will be no danger, right?"
As the three of them were on their way, Tezolo asked curiously. Tezolo was also very curious about the secrets of this temple and the so-called "God-given".
But Tezolo thought again, since even the high priest himself doesn't know these things, if anyone else can know, probably only His Highness Doyle, in Tezolo's view, Doyle is almost like an "omniscient" godlike.
As everyone knows, Doyle even guesses whether the temple really exists...
"Brother said it, but he said it's just a possibility, not necessarily right, but I think, brother should be just being modest. Since he said it, he must be right."
"Okay, the temple is just ahead, let's go!"
Carlo said affirmatively, there is no way, whether he can "turn over the salty fish" depends on this time.During the rush, the gold ornaments on Carlo's body also swayed, shining under the moonlight.
To be on the safe side, Tezolo asked Carlo to bring some gold jewelry when he set out. In this way, if there was any accident, Tezolo could also control the gold to assist in blocking. As for Charon, it was not so much Need this, he is now a humanoid self-propelled bomb, whoever touches it will be unlucky.
"Carlo, Tezolo, stop talking nonsense, we're here!"
Charon ran at the front and had already arrived at the temple. Bika was not big at all, but with their quality, it was a ten-minute journey, and they arrived at their destination soon.
"This is the so-called temple?! This is too..."
Charon looked at the "temple" in front of him and felt that he couldn't vomit, because the so-called temple was too simple, and if he was not sure that the map was correct, Charon couldn't believe that this was the so-called god. temple……
No wonder he is like this, it sounds nice to say that it is a temple, but in fact it is just a small stone temple, but apart from the thick stone gate, there is not even a little carving or mural.
