Chapter 11 Supernatural powers, usurping gods!

"Great Minotaur Lord, please enjoy the sacrifice."

The sound of the sacrifice entered Zhou Tieyi's mind through the void, awakening him from Zhou Guangxia's life experience.

I feel as tired as if I had just stayed up all night reading a novel.

Zhou Tieyi forced himself to cheer up, knowing that it was a witch from an unknown time and space who awakened him. He controlled the campfire and looked at the witch of the Tauren tribe.

"How long has it been?"

Zhou Tieyi asked.

Among the dozen or so strong men surrounding the fire pit for sacrifice, half of them were injured, although they were fine before!
"According to your instructions, we came to offer sacrifices to you the next day."

Wu Xiongzhuang's body was also injured, but his tone was full of excitement.

"This time, we also brought sacrifices."

"Sacrifice?"

Before, Zhou Tieyi only focused his attention on the person, but after Wu Yi reminded him, he immediately noticed what Wu was holding in his hand.

It was a tiger cub about two or three months old, with shiny white fur like the first snow in the mountains, but with wounds on its mouth and nose. Its little eyes were full of fear, and it flapped its sharp claws in the air.

It's a pity that even the future king of beasts was so weak when he was young.

"This is?"

"This is the cub of the Lord of West Mountain. We want to sacrifice this cub to you."

In his previous life, Zhou Tieyi would definitely not dare to use this kind of beast sacrifice while spending life in prison, but the tribe spent such a huge price to find a sacrifice for him, if he still refused to accept it, it would probably be disheartening.

In addition to gaining knowledge of martial arts, Zhou Tieyi also had things to give back to the tribe.

"Then let's begin the sacrifice."

Zhou Tieyi said nonchalantly, thinking about how to gradually abolish the bloody sacrificial rituals in the future to avoid causing unnecessary casualties to the tribe.

The witch looked respectful, took out a bone blade from his waist, chanted a prayer, and then pressed the tiger cub into the gap in the fire pit.

The bone blade struck a fatal blow, piercing the tiger cub's throat. Blood flowed out along the gap in the fire pit, and flowed towards the flame that carried Zhou Tieyi's consciousness.

【Mountain Master】.

The invisible force flowed into Zhou Tieyi's soul through his blood, causing him, who originally didn't care, to be stunned on the spot.

This barbaric sacrifice seems to have something special!
In just a moment, Zhou Tieyi learned three skills.

These three skills reminded Zhou Tieyi of a word: supernatural power!
【Drive away the beasts】

The mountain master is the king of all beasts and drives the beasts away like a herdsman.

[Power of the Earth]

The Mountain Master is the spirit of the mountain, identical to the mountain, and can draw power from the nodes of the earth veins.

【Usurpation of God】

The way of man is to reduce what is insufficient and to serve what is in excess. People in other worlds avoid one of these and do not reveal the secrets of heaven, so they can steal the power of the gods to support themselves and control the world in their hands.

A mournful tiger roar came from the depths of the Western Mountains not far away, and resounded in Zhou Tieyi's soul.

Zhou Tieyi's eyes naturally turned towards the not-so-tall West Mountain. He already knew in his heart that he was competing with the master of West Mountain for the position of the master of West Mountain. From now on, the two would fight to the death.

The power of his first two magical powers was related to how much authority he possessed as the Mountain Lord. As for the last magical power, it should be a characteristic he brought with him after traveling through time.

"You didn't kill the West Mountain Lord?" Mu, the strong man beside the witch, thought that the gods were blaming the tribe for their incompetence, and hurriedly explained, "We had set a trap, but who knew that the West Mountain Lord would abandon his cubs and break through despite being injured. We were stopped by the beasts he summoned and couldn't catch up for a while."

Zhou Tieyi looked at Wu and asked, "How badly is he injured?"

Wu replied calmly, "He was already weak from giving birth, and now he's been injured by us. He needs at least ninety days and nights to recuperate."

"After he recovers, he will definitely find a way to take revenge on the tribe. However, if he leaves West Mountain, his strength will be greatly reduced. When the time comes, we will set traps around the tribe and will definitely capture the Lord of West Mountain for you."

Seeing that Wu had a complete plan, Zhou Tieyi had roughly figured out the strength of the Lord of Xishan.

Although the other party is a natural mountain master, Xishan is just a mountain range and can provide little power to the mountain master. At best, he can only deal with a powerful tiger beast, which the tribe can deal with.

And with the knowledge that I have provided, these ninety days are enough for the tribe to transform, and then the chances of winning will be even greater!
"Wu, I will teach you the way of martial arts as my first blessing to the tribe."

"God, what is the way of martial arts?"

The witch asked curiously. According to the tribal tradition, when the power of the tribal gods becomes strong, they can directly bestow their divine power on the tribal warriors. However, they have lost this knowledge.

Could it be that after the god of his own tribe was resurrected, he recalled this knowledge?
Yes, totem gods are created through the worship of generations of tribal sages, so it is normal for them to preserve the lost knowledge of the tribe.

Zhou Tieyi sorted out the martial arts inheritance he had obtained. His voice was solemn and sacred, passing through the fire pit and spreading in the wind and snow.

"The way of heaven is to reduce the excess and replenish the deficiency, and the way of man is to reduce the deficiency and serve the surplus."

"The human body is weak and has limited strength, but the sea of ​​​​qi in heaven and earth is inexhaustible."

“Thus, in ancient times, there were great powers who used human bodies to simulate heaven and earth, used Qi and blood to move Yuan Qi, opened up the Dantian Qi Sea, contained the essence of heaven and earth, and established the foundation of martial arts.”

"The martial arts I teach is called [Record of Supervising Soldiers and Slaying Demons]."

······
I don’t know if it’s because of the special connection between my divine body and the tribe, but even though many people in the tribe have never been exposed to much knowledge, after Zhou Tieyi’s teachings, they all seem to have opened their minds, and they learn no slower than Zhou Tieyi who learned through secret methods.

After half a day of explanation, he finally taught the witch the basics of martial arts practice. He told them not to go into the mountains recklessly during this period of time. After searching for sacrifices, Zhou Tieyi focused his mind back on his own body.

The eternal lamp in the ancestral hall is still lit, and the morning light shines through the gourd-patterned window grilles onto the green bricks on the ground.

The moment he opened his eyes, Zhou Tieyi saw the mute old man looking at him with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"Thank you, Old Mute, for protecting me."

Zhou Tieyi said respectfully to the mute old man that the fact that the other party was able to guard the ancestral temple for the Zhou family was naturally one of the Zhou family's most powerful means, and it would not be excessive to show him any respect.

Zhou Tieyi took unsteady steps and for a moment he seemed to have no strength at all.

One reason is that I maintained a posture for too long, and the other reason is that I was too hungry.

After regulating his breath for a moment, Zhou Tieyi quickly regained control of his body, returned the ancestral tablet, and left the ancestral temple.

Outside the bamboo forest, Zhou Tieyi saw a beautiful woman waiting for him.

"Sister Baimei."

Bai Mei is Zhou Tieyi's maid. However, unlike the maids in merchants' and civil servants' families, the maids in military families are usually selected from the families of honest soldiers under their command. Therefore, they are more heroic than ordinary women.

Baimei stood straight. Although her skin was not as delicate as that of the witch, it was still white and rosy. She had a high nose bridge and her eyes were bright and restrained, like a sword in its sheath.

When Zhou Tieyi came closer, Bai Mei said, "Congratulations, young master, you have achieved your wish. By practicing the family's secret martial arts, you will surely be the best in the world in the future. However, since you have obtained the martial arts you have always dreamed of, you must not waste it like you did in the past, or you will regret it in the future."

Zhou Tieyi smiled slightly. Bai Mei's behavior reminded him of Xiren in Dream of Red Mansions.

"I see." Zhou Tieyi responded, and then asked, "How long have I been in the ancestral temple?"

"About a day and a half."
