Chapter 15 Sociological Survey of Indigenous Tribes
I don’t know how long it took, Lu Yang woke up from his sleeping bag.
Looking up, the sky outside the cave was still as dark as ever.
At this time, there was no native indigenous existence in the cave, only the lame loli named Xuefeng, leaning against the entrance of the ancestor's hall, dozing off in the light of the sun stone.
Feeling that his spirit had completely recovered, and now that he had established the divine design of "the god who temporarily lost his divine power", this made him feel a long-lost feeling of ease.
Considering that he has appeared in front of the indigenous people several times, there should be no danger in activities within the tribe, Lu Yang plans to go out for a walk and learn more about this indigenous tribe.
He still has too little information at present, and this indigenous tribe still has many unsolved mysteries. If he does not fully understand the situation, he will always be unable to let go.
But as soon as Lu Yang got up, Xue Feng, who had been dozing off at the entrance of the cave, noticed something and immediately stood up and bowed to Lu Yang and said, "God, the king has sent all the rare metals and various relics of the gods that he has collected in recent years to the vicinity of the holy land. Do you want to check it?"
Xuefeng did not dare to urge the gods to repair the Sun Stone, and could only hint in a more tactful way.
"Then you take me there. By the way, you can introduce the current situation of the Gaoshan tribe, such as how many people are there in the tribe, how the king is selected, and why your feet are...."
Speaking of this, Lu Yang seemed to have thought of something again.
He was about to reach the entrance of the cave, and turned around and took out a canned lunch meat from his luggage, then opened it casually and handed it to Xue Feng, saying, "By the way, if you are hungry, you can eat something first."
Lu Yang has already planned that after collecting the treasures accumulated by the Alpine Tribe over the years, he may have to return to the earth first and then provide targeted supplies.
In this way, he obviously had a little more food with him this time.
Although Xue Feng's brute force may be greater than himself, from the outside, this lame little loli is indeed too thin, and her dirty black hair is also a little yellow due to malnutrition. He might as well use all the extra earth food to supplement her nutrition and to give her the favor of her chief believer.
"Thank God! I'm not hungry." Xuefeng took the can of "Divine Stone" handed over by God and put it carefully in her arms. She was still thinking about the restoration of the Sun Stone: "Let me take you to the holy land first."
"If the ancestor Gaofeng still retains any ruins left by your ancestors or ancient gods, you can also take me to see them. Maybe the ancient gods also left some information for me to help me repair the Sun Stone." Lu Yang added.
Although Lu Yang looked no different from before waking up, the keen Xuefeng clearly felt that Lu Yang seemed to be different from before, especially the tone of speaking was naturally much more natural than before, and there was no such a stern feeling as before.
Is it because the gods become more human after losing their divine power?
Xue Feng looked thoughtful, feeling that he seemed to have discovered some amazing theological knowledge.
Not daring to continue thinking randomly, Xuefeng quickly led the gods to the holy land and introduced the current situation of the tribe.
There are still many people in the Gaoshan Tribe. It is not clear how many people there are now, but the population should be about 1,500. In addition, more than 300 people are still hunting at the foot of the mountain. However, due to the siege of the Night Ghost, these people have completely lost contact.
The entire mountain tribe is full of soldiers. Except for pregnant women, children and shamans, both men and women must be ready to participate in the battle at any time.
According to convention, after each eternal night comes, the tribe will hold sacrificial activities from time to time, exiling the tribe who loses combat ability to live in the foothills, freeing up precious food for the tribe's warriors.
Among all the tribe warriors, the 100 most elite warriors will be selected as the God Guardians. These God Guardians do not need to go down the mountain to hunt, but only need to patrol from time to time and assume the responsibility of defending the Sun Stone.
In addition to taking on daily tasks such as guarding various posts and taking care of crops around the holy land, the remaining tribe members also need to take turns forming hunting teams to go down the mountain to hunt to obtain additional food sources.
Although the casualty rate of hunting is terrible, the team that harvests the most in each hunt will be qualified to recommend team members to supplement the vacancies of the God Guardians, which is a disguised incentive mechanism.
The Supreme King of the tribe will also designate the youngest and most promising warrior from the 100 God Guards as the successor, and take him by his side to learn the skills of leading the tribe.
That scarred man Thunder Ting is the official successor of this king.
If other young god guards are dissatisfied with the king's designated successor after the death of this king, they can also engage in a one-on-one duel with him. If the challenger succeeds, he will become the new Supreme King. If the challenge fails, he will be exiled to the foot of the mountain as a punishment for provoking the king.
But this king is very special. When he served as the leader of the tribe, he did not use any of the above methods.
Six eternal nights ago, the Night Ghost took advantage of the long extinguishing of the Sun Stone to launch an unprecedented attack on the ancestor peak. At that time, a large number of tribal warriors were hunting at the foot of the mountain. The posts on the periphery of the tribe were difficult to fight against groups of night ghosts in the dark, so the defense line was soon broken through by the Night Ghost.
The previous king could only concentrate his hands to guard the holy land, and with the dense torches always available around the holy land and the most elite warriors of the tribe, they fought against the attack of the night ghost.
But at the same time, some tribesmen, including the shaman and the young Xuefeng, were unable to arrive at the holy land in time to meet with the king. They were attacked by Ye Gui halfway, so they were forced to retreat into the ancestral hall, relying on the terrain advantage of the cave to resist the attack of Ye Gui. At the same time, they organized a breakthrough team to report to the holy land on the mountain for help.
After receiving the request for help, huge differences broke out among the people who guarded the holy land. A small number of people led by the above king believed that they should try to organize people to meet the tribesmen not far away, and they should not sit and watch the hundreds of people in the ancestral hall die; while most of the god guards led by this king believed that the guardian of the sun should be the first priority task.
When the dispute was endless, the previous king noticed that a hunting team near the peak of the ancestors came to rescue the fire at the foot of the mountain, so he decided to personally lead a small number of people to pick up the hunting team that came to rescue first, and join forces with the returning hunting team to rescue the tribesmen who were surrounded by a large number of night ghosts in the hall of the ancestors.
The final result was that the previous king and almost all the warriors he brought were killed in battle in the battle to rescue the ancestors' hall, and even his designated successor was not spared. However, their sacrifices and the besieged tribe members successfully gained enough time, and they dragged to the moment when the Sun Stone lit up again.
As the leader of the remaining God Guardians, the current king naturally took over the title of the Supreme King of the Tribe.
Speaking of this, Lu Yang and the others also arrived at the "place where the Sun God ascends" at the foot of the holy land.
Seeing the mountains near the holy land, Xue Feng suddenly thought that Lu Yang had asked to visit the ruins of ancient gods.
So she pointed to a sunken mountain and said to Lu Yang: "God, there are murals left by the ancestors here, and there are also divine texts that record taboo knowledge in legend. I wonder if it will be helpful for restoring the Sun Stone?"
Lu Yang immediately signaled Xue Feng to take him over: "All the relics of the gods are essential for the restoration of the Sun Stone."
Anyway, the miniature nuclear fusion device called Sun Stone was secretly repaired by him yesterday. He only needed to adjust the brightness through the morning light, so he was not in a hurry to go to the holy land.
For Lu Yang, the priority of obtaining intelligence is currently higher than anything else.
Only by understanding all the potential dangers of the mountain tribe can he return to the earth for supply. In his plan, if he returns to the earth for supply, it will take at least ten days and half a month to come back.
Under the leadership of Xuefeng, Lu Yang soon saw the amazingly large-scale "Museums of ancestors" and "Divine Text".
The murals of ancestors and divine texts almost covered a whole huge vertical mountain. Seeing these ancient alien murals, Lu Yang's doubts were not only not answered, but also more.
Because this is not a mural that the indigenous people of the Alpine Tribe can leave behind!
When he was just teleported to this planet, Lu Yang saw the artwork of local indigenous people during the sacrificial activities. The artwork dedicated to the gods was extremely rough and the shape was very abstract, which was very consistent with the artistic level of ordinary indigenous tribes.
Although these so-called murals of ancestors are all content that Lu Yang could not quite understand, they are full of realistic style.
All kinds of strange figures in the painting are angular and have a scientific perspective structure. Lu Yang saw from the murals a pattern of three views of the internal structure of some kind of complex device, like a spacecraft, and a legend that is suspected to be a microscopic atomic structure or a stellar system structure.
As for the next to the mural, there are large sections of unknown text, with a large number of characters, and the font is neatly written, but the layout is very messy, like a book with a messy layout.
Moreover, whether it is murals or text, they are very unified in style. They are not like those carved by hand on stone walls, but more like they are "printed" in some way.
"These words are divine texts. It is said that mortals will be subject to extremely severe divine punishment when reading these words. Legend has it that a long time ago, a shaman tried to interpret the divine texts, but it angered the gods. The divine punishments brought down almost destroyed most of the tribes."
When Xuefeng saw that the god seemed to be very interested in the divine text, he quickly lowered his head and explained that he did not dare to look up at the pictures and words on the mountain throughout the whole process.
When Lu Yang heard about this, he hurriedly turned his back to Xuefeng and secretly moved his gaze away.
These ancient legends of the indigenous people are not myths of nothingness and ethereality. Through contacts a day before, he has discovered that all the myths of this tribe are hidden to some extent. For example, according to known information:
Sun Stone is actually a general energy source for some large industrial machinery of the ancient Galaxy Federation.
The divine stone should be the remains of the alloy parts of the high-tech creation of the Galaxy Federation.
The gods and ancestors may be the ancestors of the natives who mastered the black technology of the Galaxy Federation. But they don’t know what the relationship between the gods and ancestors is. The natives have no reason to create two similar but strictly distinguishable mythological images for the same group of ancestors.
The legend of the Ascension of the Sun God should describe the last interstellar teleportation of the indigenous ancestors who mastered black technology more than 6,000 years ago.
As for the image of the fraternal love of the Sun God, it should be a myth of this ancestor who made significant contributions to the Alpine tribe. Although he did what great achievements he made, it is still unclear.
Therefore, Lu Yang did not dare to take it lightly for the legend of divine texts and divine punishments.
In his opinion, there must be some unknown truth hidden in this ancient legend.
He is not a real god, but a completely mortal. If he read these words, he will really trigger some special restrictions and blow him to ashes, he will really die with his eyes open.
"Chenxi, can you analyze what's wrong with these divine texts?"
After thinking for a long time, Lu Yang chose to consult his chief consultant.
"According to existing intelligence analysis, divine text should be a common text of the Galaxy Federation. There are more than 1 million major common texts and common words in the Galaxy Federation. The local database of this machine is not completely included. It is still not enough to forcefully decipher the language based on some of the text users just saw. Users can try to continue reading the remaining divine texts to provide more research materials for the deciphering work of the machine."
“Will I continue reading trigger any danger?”
"There is insufficient intelligence and it is impossible to judge. It can only be concluded that as of now, there are still no signs of danger." Chenxi continued to respond in a voice without any emotional fluctuations.
As an advanced artificial intelligence, Chenxi, as always, will only give passive explanations without making any form of active advice.
After hearing this unnutritious answer, Lu Yang decided to let it go first.
After temporarily eliminating the threat of night ghosts, the ancient black technology of this planet has become the biggest unstable factor at present. He really dared not take any risks to test the possible ban on ancient black technology.
Not to mention anything else, just relying on that Sun Stone, if it explodes out of control, it can flatten half of the ancestor peak.
Since he didn't take risks, he could not get any useful information from the murals and divine texts. Lu Yang simply waved his hand to Xue Feng and said, "I have already understood the information in the murals and the murals, let's go directly to the holy land."
Although Xue Feng was also curious about what the gods understood, after all, there was a legend of divine punishment, so she didn't dare to ask too much, just nodded and took Lu Yang to the holy land.
Seeing that Xue Feng had saved him a lot of talk, Lu Yang nodded to Xue Feng with satisfaction.
This chief indigenous believer chose it very well:
Chapter completed!
