Entering the underground labyrinth of Tiemu Mountain three times left Xu Shoujun with unforgettable memories.

The first time, Xu Shoujun was about eighteen or nine years old, when he was still in the Shaolin Temple.

At that time, recommended by the Shaolin warrior monk and his own master, Master Shi Wanyi, he went to the Tiemu Mountain Temple to become an incense monk.

Shizun was also very interested in the entrance to the "Wolf Domain" of Tiemu Mountain.

The reason why he was sent here was because his hometown was not far from Tiemu Mountain.

Ordering him to come to this mountain was nominally an exchange between temples in various places, but in fact, he was asked to take the opportunity to investigate the details of the entrance to the "Wolf Domain".

After he arrived at the temple of Tiemu Mountain, he did his duty.

Every night, in the name of pressing incense and guarding incense, he stayed in the hall of the "Twelve Buddhas" and carefully observed the subtle movements in the vicinity.

Finally, one night, a fierce battle broke out around the temple of Ironwood Mountain.

He crouched behind the window of a side hall and saw a fight between an alien master and a slender waist wolf clan.

The battle was fierce.

Although the slender waist wolf clan moves quickly, it comes and goes like the wind.

But the Terran warriors are by no means ordinary.

Whether it is martial arts or physical fitness, the wolf clan is not as good as those Terran warriors who have been systematically cultivated.

After a dragon fight, many warriors died, and the thin-waisted wolf clan suffered even more casualties, and gradually lost their opponents.

After touching a pillar of incense for about a while, the thin-waisted wolf clan all withdrew into the Ten Halls of Yama on the west side of the main hall and disappeared.

Several masters followed in, leaving only one person to guard outside.

After that, the surroundings fell completely silent.

Xu Shoujun stared at the side hall until dawn, and never saw a master come out.

They all vanished like they had evaporated from the sky.

The man who stayed outside had no choice but to leave when the sun rose......

In the next few days, Xu Shoujun chose a more suitable hiding place, where he always kept an eye on the back of the Yama Palace.

Finally, one day, he saw several thin-waisted wolves coming in and out from behind the Yama Palace.

As he watched, he discovered the secret hole behind the temple.

After a few more days of observation, he generally grasped the rules of the Slender Waist Wolf Clan's entry and exit from this cave.

One day, estimating that there were no wolves in the cave, Xu Shoujun was bold, carrying a lantern, and broke into the dark wolf cave.

After entering the cave, he soon found that the cave was criss-crossed, and he realized that it was a huge underground labyrinth.

Tossed back and forth for more than an hour, but found nothing except a lot of human bones on the ground.

Fortunately, he came in prepared, leaving marks at every corner opening, and finally left unharmed.

However, from that day on, he found out that the Slender Rumps had begun to stalk him.

On his way up and down the mountain, from time to time, he would feel a pair of dark eyes watching his every move nearby, which made him can't help but be frightened and break out in a cold sweat, and his heart is always hanging, and he can no longer be at peace.

For his personal safety, he had to return to Shaolin Temple under the pretext of an excuse......

The second time, Xu Shoujun had already left Shaolin Temple and joined the "One X Dao".

At that time, he was young and vigorous, and he was not only the backbone of the Tao, but also the colonel and regimental commander in the Wuhan puppet government army.

Since his youth, under the influence of Shaolin Temple Master and others, coupled with his own personal observation, he has always been obsessed with the entrance to the "Wolf Domain" of Tiemu Mountain.

Many times, when he calmed down and thought about it, he had seen this secret entrance as the best way for him to realize his dream of transcendent sainthood.

After planning for a long time, he asked for the consent of Zhang Guangbi, the master of the sect, and led a reconnaissance and combat team of about 20 people to secretly go to Tiemu Mountain.

This time, he had already thought about it, and with the help of advanced weapons and the combat capabilities of regular troops, he would forcibly open the underground labyrinth and find and occupy the entrance to the "Wolf Domain" for a long time.

A group of people with weapons rushed for a long distance, disguised as bandits and marched to the distant Tiemu Mountain in Longzhong.

Fearing that their daytime actions would be too conspicuous and might cause unnecessary trouble, they walked day and night.

After arriving at Temu Mountain for a short rest, he decided to put his action after dinner.

When the soldiers had eaten and drunk enough, he ordered his troops to begin storming the underground labyrinth.

The soldiers rushed to the wolf cave in battle formation, met with stubborn resistance from the thin-waisted wolf clan.

After half an hour of fierce fighting, the wolf clan left more than a dozen corpses, and the troops also lost six or seven people.

With the help of state-of-the-art firearms, they completely occupied the underground labyrinth.

After completely clearing the wolves inside and outside the underground labyrinth, he ordered two light machine guns to guard the two exits to prevent the wolves from entering from the outside.

Then he ordered the other soldiers to dig frantically in the labyrinth with picks, shovels, and iron drills.

The soldier dug for most of the night with torches and flashlights.

During this period, the secret organs were repeatedly touched, and three or four more people were killed or wounded.

Eventually, they managed to find a few hidden holes.

One of the openings extended downward, the widest, which attracted Xu Shoujun's attention.

After entering through this hole, there is a spiral of steps, and the hole goes deeper and deeper along the stairs.

He relied on his strength and courage, fearless, and went forward to investigate alone.

When they reached a distance of three or four miles, they were blocked by a huge sluice stone.

Just as he was thinking about whether to turn the underground labyrinth and get the explosives to blow up the big stone gate.

"Boom", "boom", ......

A series of loud explosions came from above.

Shocked inside, he flew up and sprinted upward.

It took about ten minutes for Xu Shoujun to return to the starting place out of breath.

By the time he returned, the underground labyrinth was still shrouded in smoke and scorching air from the explosion.

If he hadn't mobilized all his strength to resist, I was afraid that he would be scorched by the high temperature in a moment.

He endured the choking smell of smoke and turned on the powerful flashlight he carried with him with trepidation.

After a photo, I found that the ground was in shambles.

All the explosives brought by the soldiers had been detonated, as had all the grenades that the soldiers had brought with them.

Not a single corpse was intact, and not a single firearm was intact.

The smell of burnt human flesh made him vomit repeatedly.

When he went to check on the machine gunners guarding the two exits, he saw that both machine gunners were swept out by the blast and fell under the cliff more than ten meters away.

One was already dead, the other was covered in burns and dying.

The Heavy with his last breath left, before he died, said to him intermittently and slurredly:

"Commander, these ...... Not a wolf...... It's a youkai.

We still have ...... Undiscovered entrances.

They attack with fire...... The underground labyrinth is instantaneous...... It became a sea of hellfire......"

After the annihilation of the whole army, Xu Shoujun returned to Wuhan alone in despair......

The third trip was on the eve of the liberation of the country.

At that time, Xu Shoujun had reached the age of not being confused, serving as the head of the Northwest Dao and the master of the general altar of the "One X Dao", and his Taoist cultivation had greatly increased.

He thought about it for a long time, and felt that no matter how many people and horses there were, it would not be possible to use it in the underground labyrinth, so he decided to break through the entrance of the "Wolf Domain" alone.

With the experience of the last time, this time he carried explosives and a powerful electric lamp, entered the underground labyrinth in broad daylight, and quickly found the hole that led to the depths of the earth.

What is puzzling is that this time, the Slender Waist Wolf Clan did not forcibly stop him.

He made his way through the underground cavern as he watched for movement behind him.

He found a leader-like wolf and followed him not far away.

When he reached the big stone gate that blocked the road, he stopped and unleashed about dozens of kilograms of explosives from his body.

The head of the wolf, with a thin waist like a bow, swaggered past his eyes.

As if it hadn't seen him, it came to the side of the large stone gate, scratching its two front paws to find the hidden mechanism and begin to operate.

First, there was a sound of "rolling, rolling" from behind the stone gate, followed by a deafening roar.

Accompanied by the flying dust, the heavy sluice stones slowly rose upward.

The portal of a huge temple opened and appeared in front of him.

The wolf gestured to him with his eyes and led the way in.

Xu Shoujun didn't know what was going on, gritted his teeth, relentlessly, and followed in.

On the four walls, a circle of large candles lit as the sluice stone opened.

Eight large square stone pillars are arranged in two rows, and a two-meter-high shrine has been carved into the depths of the hall to enshrine a statue of a man and a dog nestling against each other.

The wolf nodded to him again and knelt on a mat.

Xu Shoujun recognized that the shrine was enshrined in the "Erlang God" and "Roaring Sky Dog".

At that moment, feeling that he was close to the entrance of the "Wolf Domain", Xu Shoujun was full of excitement.

He hurriedly followed the example of a wolf and knelt down on another mat.

The head wolf kowtowed, and he also kowtowed.

Suddenly, there was another "rolling" sound, accompanied by a loud "boom", and the big stone gate fell, locking both men and wolves in the main hall.

The ground under the knees of both sides began to rise, rising to a stop of about a meter.

The raised ground formed a five-meter square platform.

Strangely, the shrine was also raised in unison, like ...... It's like a statue of a god overseeing a jousting contest.

A small stone tablet was erected next to the statue at the same time, engraved in regular script:

"Compete in martial arts, don't hurt your life, the winner enters, and the loser leaves. ”

The handwriting is vigorous and powerful, and at first glance it comes from a person with profound martial arts.

The thin-waisted wolf nodded to Xu Shoujun again, and began to circle around him, which was a signal to prepare for the competition.

When it comes to martial arts, Xu Shoujun is not afraid of the thin-waisted wolf in front of him.

Because he has been in Shaolin Temple for several years, he has practiced a body of kung fu, and the best one of the exercises is called "Dragon Walking Tiger Fist", the body is like the agility of the dragon, and the moves are like the power of the tiger.

He guessed in his heart that if he won this time, he was expected to enter the "wolf domain".

The thin-waisted wolf saw the void, flew up like an arrow, and swept over Xu Shoujun's shoulder.

He stepped back sideways, avoiding its edge, and then grabbed it back.

In the first turn, two blood marks were left on the man's cheeks, and a handful of long hair fell off the wolf's tail.

No one took advantage.

Next, Xu Shoujun began to take the initiative to attack.

Although his body was like a dragon, the thin-waisted wolf was as agile as electricity, and he never managed to get close to the wolf's body.

Xu's strength is strength, and the wolf's strength is obviously speed.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides fought for more than 20 rounds, without a winner.

The weight of the thin-waisted wolf is only seventy or eighty pounds, which is less than half of Xu Shoujun's, but its body is drifting and dreamlike, making him repeatedly pounce in the air.

Xu Shoujun's heart slowly became impatient.

After thinking about it, he tried his best to get injured, deliberately exposed the flaws behind his back, and wanted to wait for the head wolf to attack from behind, suddenly leaned back, hit the wolf's head with his head, and then wrapped the wolf's body with his body and took the thin-waisted wolf down in one fell swoop.

The wolf seemed to understand his intentions, changed his move temporarily, and bit down on the calf of Xu Shoujun's left leg.

Xu Shoujun's head hit the air, his calf was bitten, and he couldn't eat it, so he kicked hard.

The head wolf slammed into a wall with a large piece of flesh torn from his calf.

Xu Shoujun's body lost balance and fell to the ground.

He had just struggled to get up when the thin-waisted wolf that was kicking his legs against the wall shot at his face again.

He bent his arms to protect his head and face, and limped back again and again.

As a result, he stepped on the air and fell upside down from the platform.

The sound of the "rolling" of the mechanism sounded again, and the big stone gate slowly rose again in the roar.

Xu Shoujun was no longer able to fight, and the thin-waisted wolf did not attack again.

Under the calm gaze of the head wolf, although Xu Shoujun was unwilling, he had no choice but to limp away, leaving a trail of blood all the way......

Hearing Xu Shoujun stop talking in pain, Cheng Zhong looked at him with a little sympathetic gaze, and turned to flattery:

"Sect Master, although you don't agree with your approach, your strength to not give up until you reach your goal is really admirable!"

"Cheng Shaoxia, you are too good at talking, ho ho ......" Xu Shoujun said with a wry smile.

"In this way, the Slender Waist Wolf Clan is also ready to accept you into the 'Wolf Domain'. Cheng Zhong said.

"To tell you the truth, I still can't figure out the true intentions of the wolf clan.

Are they afraid that I will blow up their temple with explosives?

Or maybe they want to discourage me from entering the 'Wolf Domain' with a joust.

In short, after this competition, I know that with my ability, I am afraid that I will not be able to see the 'Wolf Domain'.

Since that time, I haven't set foot on Ironwood Mountain again. ”

Xu Shoujun's face was ugly, and he lowered his gray head and said.

"Well, but, since learning of my existence, has the sect leader changed his mind again?"

Cheng Zhong asked in a flat tone.

"Please understand me, as of today, I am exhausted and have no way out.

Whether you succeed or not, you have to take a risk!"

Xu Shoujun seemed to have forgotten that Cheng Zhong was his prisoner, and said in a low voice.
