On an isolated island, the sky is clear, the sun is blazing, the trees on the island are dancing, and the mountains and rivers are quiet.
Near the coast, there is a huge banana tree with a height of more than ten feet. Its branches are thick and its big green leaves like cattail fans dance in the wind, blocking the scorching sun and providing a shade below.
In this shade, there is an oval-shaped stone. A white ape is leaning cross-legged on the side of the stone, holding a golden book in his hand and reading it attentively.
On the front of the classic book are engraved the words "Nine Transformations of Mysterious Power" in silver.
A soft pale golden light emitted from the inner pages of the book, covering the white ape's entire body and dyeing its white hair golden.
As time goes by, the scorching sun gradually creeps towards the center, and the clouds in the sky seem to have been burned, and they have disappeared without a trace.
Without any shelter, the ground on the isolated island was boiling hot and dry. A gust of sea breeze blew up waves of heat from the ground, making the already suffocating air even thicker.
Many little beasts on the island who couldn't stand the high temperature began to look around for a place where they could get some shade to resist the heat. From time to time, they cast their eyes eagerly towards the patch of shade under the banana trees on the beach, but they didn't dare to get too close.
The white ape was in the shade and was not greatly affected. He turned over and changed into a comfortable position, and continued to flip through the golden tome in his hand with relish.
When seeing excitement, the white ape sometimes scratches his head and ears, and meditates hard. Sometimes he stretches out a furry palm, makes some weird postures, and gestures.
After an unknown amount of time, Bai Yuan suddenly closed the book and let out a long sigh of satisfaction.
After putting away the golden tome, it turned a few somersaults on the spot and let out a strange cry, seeming to be very excited.
Then the white ape looked around for a while, and then ran and jumped in a certain direction on the island. The wind blew under his feet and turned into a white shadow.
This isolated island was not very large. The white ape ran non-stop for a quarter of an hour before arriving at the base of what seemed to be the highest mountain peak and climbed up without saying a word.
The mountain peak was steep and there were rugged rocks along the way, but the white ape used his hands and feet as if walking on flat ground, soared up and reached the top of the mountain in the blink of an eye.
The top of the peak is uneven, only about a hundred feet in size. It is already at noon when the sun is at its strongest. In the clear blue sky, the fiery sun shoots out thousands of dazzling and scorching rays, making the temperature here far higher than that at the bottom of the mountain.
The white ape was completely unaware of the high temperature. Instead, he looked up excitedly at the scorching sun in the sky, and kept sitting cross-legged and standing up at various places on the peak, as if he was looking for a more suitable position.
Finally, he sat cross-legged on a flat protrusion the size of a millstone.
After closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, he immediately leaned forward and seemed to be in a Japanese sucking posture.
However, this posture is different from the previous sun-sucking style. His head is raised high, his mouth is slightly open, his right arm is lying on the ground, and his left arm is raised high, facing the scorching sun in mid-air.
But he saw the golden light flowing in the pupils of his eyes, and suddenly a small golden flame appeared, faintly reflecting the scorching sun in the sky.
The wisps of hot sunlight pouring down in mid-air turned into strands of golden light, like a golden beam, directly converging on the white ape's raised left hand.
In just a moment, the white ape's left hand seemed to be on fire, bursting into flames and making a sizzling sound.
Under the pain, the white ape bared his teeth and kept screaming, but his body posture did not move at all and remained motionless.
I don't know how long it took, but as the golden light gathered more and more, the fire in the white ape's left hand grew stronger and stronger, turning into a golden fireball the size of a washbasin, burning brightly.
His left hand also slowly became extremely blackened by the fireball.
At this moment, the white ape's whole body was as if it had been fished out of the water. Even the tiniest pores were sweating. His left hand was shaking due to pain, but he still persisted and had no intention of giving up.
Seen from a distance, the white ape is lying on the ground, its blackened left hand seems to be holding a huge pulsating fireball.
…
At the same time, Nitou Street in Cangxu City, in the middle of the warehouse.
In the endless rolling golden flames, Shi Mu's charred body moved, and a burst of silvery white light appeared on his left hand.
boom!
As if receiving some kind of summons, the golden flames on Shi Mu's body rolled up and gathered at Shi Mu's left hand, turning into a pale golden fireball.
In the fireball, there were faint traces of golden light that kept sinking into the palm of the hand as if it were spiritual. In contrast, the golden fireball also quickly became smaller.
Within a few breaths, all the golden flames disappeared.
The next moment, Shi Mu's body, which had been burned like black charcoal, gradually recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Some burn cracks on the body healed quickly, and the charred body continued to shed some black dead skin, and new, tender skin also grew.
After a while, Shi Mu's body returned to its original state.
He moved his body, suddenly opened his eyes, and sat up.
Shi Mu looked at his body in surprise, and then looked around. The warehouse was in a mess, the ground was burnt black, and the air was still extremely hot.
Around him, with his body as the center, a large crater was burned into the ground.
The prohibition circle around the warehouse is still there, but Zhong Xiu's figure has disappeared without a trace.
Shi Mu's expression changed drastically, and with a thought in mind, he quickly contacted Cai'er.
At this moment, all his clothes were turned into ashes, only a few storage rings and the black meteorite iron knife on his hands were still there.
He took out a piece of clothing from the Dust Ring and put it on, waved his hand and shot out a few rays of light. The surrounding forbidden light flashed and dissipated.
A "whoosh" sound!
Cai'er flew in from a window in the warehouse and was shocked when she saw the situation here.
But when its eyes fell on Shi Mu, it burst out laughing:
"Haha... Shi... Shi Shi, where are your hair and eyebrows? Your new look is really... just like your name, you have really turned into a smooth stone!"
Shi Mu frowned. His hair and eyebrows were all burnt off now, and he did look a little funny.
"Cai'er, let me ask you, you have been standing outside, have you seen Xiu'er leave here?" Shi Mu asked.
Seeing that Shi Mu's expression was extremely serious, Cai'er hurriedly put away his playful expression and said:
"No, I didn't see anyone leave here from beginning to end. By the way, did sister Zhong Xiu leave?"
"Some accidents just happened here... Did you notice anything weird while you were outside?" Shi Mu nodded, told Cai'er what happened here just now, and asked again.
"You have put a ban here. I can't see what happened in the warehouse. But for a moment just now, I clearly felt that a very terrifying aura suddenly broke out in the warehouse, but it disappeared after a while.
Yes." Cai'er said after thinking for a while.
When Shi Mu heard this, his face became uncertain.
He tried his best to recall the memories before he fell into coma, but he was struck by the flames and poison emanating from Zhong Xiu at that time, and his consciousness was a bit chaotic, and he could only remember some scattered memory fragments.
Dimly, he seemed to hear a very pleasant female voice, but it was vague and he couldn't remember the specific content at all. He only remembered that the woman said something like "Tianfeng Backlash" or something like that.
The only thing that is certain is that this woman is not Zhong Xiu.
Shi Mu was thinking with all his strength when his expression suddenly changed.
Only at this moment did he realize that there was an extra golden particle in his mind, which was only the size of a grain of wheat, similar to the crystal particles formed by the Moon Swallowing and Sun Absorbing techniques.
"What is this?"
Shi Mu was surprised. He hesitated for a moment, then with a thought, he sent out a ray of consciousness and lightly touched the golden particles.
"boom"
The golden particles exploded immediately and turned into a golden book page. The page was densely covered with small characters, which seemed to be a book on martial arts.
Shi Mu was startled, and hurriedly focused his consciousness on the golden page. After reading a few lines, his expression suddenly changed, and then a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.
According to the small print on the page of the book, this seems to be the specific practice method of the first stage of the Nine Turns Mysterious Technique.
Although Shi Mu had obtained the golden book Nine Turns Mysterious Technique a long time ago, he had no clue on how to practice it. Now he finally got the specific technique.
Judging from the white ape's reaction to the Nine Turns Mysterious Technique in the dream, this technique is certainly extraordinary.
Shi Mu took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and put down this idea for the time being.
As a result, the next moment, when he wanted to stand up, he found that his left hand sank, as if he was carrying a huge object weighing 10,000 kilograms. His body suddenly staggered and he almost fell down.
He turned to look at his left hand, his face full of disbelief.
The entire palm of his left hand was scorched black, which he had just discovered. At first, he thought it was because the mysterious energy that had just healed his body was not enough, so his left hand continued to be scorched black. But now it seems that this is obviously not the case.
Although the left hand was as black as coke at the moment, there was no pain at all, and there was no problem opening and closing the palm to make a fist. It was just extremely heavy, as if something ten thousand times heavier than mercury had been poured into the palm.
Even with his current weight of over 10,000 kilograms, his left hand feels extremely heavy.
Shi Mu looked at it for a moment, and his spiritual consciousness also penetrated into his left hand, but no other abnormalities were found.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something.
In the dream, what the White Ape was practicing on the top of the mountain should be the contents of the Nine Transformations Mysterious Technique, and his left hand seemed to have become so charred after absorbing the energy of the sun.
He thought for a while and guessed in his mind that the blackening of his left hand should have something to do with practicing the Nine-turn Mysterious Technique, and the answer should be found in the Nine-turn Mysterious Technique.
But at this moment, Zhong Xiu was missing, so he had no time to worry about anything else.
Shi Mu stood up unsteadily with his right hand on the ground, took a deep breath, suppressed the surprise in his heart, and began to look around the warehouse.
………………
Oh! Oh! Oh! It’s time to practice the Nine Transformations Mysterious Skill^^ (To be continued.)
