"Master, something happened to [Qingluan Army]?"
Chi Yangzi's expression darkened. As the commander-in-chief of the three armies of the southwest, his ancestor wore a command seal on his waist. He could roughly know the location of each army by counting with his fingers.
Yu Xuzi shook his head:
"Nothing happened to [Qingluan Army] at the moment. The soldiers are still alive. They just lost contact." Chu Chen couldn't help but feel worried after hearing the conversation between Yu Xuzi and Chi Yangzi.
Sister Wan'er was transferred from the local garrison to serve under the Southwest Governor's Mansion a few days ago, and it was the [Qingluan Army] who went there.
[Qingluan Army] is a powerful army composed of three thousand soldiers and horses. The leader is Liu Cuilan, a female cultivator from the Liu family, a noble family. She has a fifth-grade super cultivation. Sister Wan'er, who has a middle-grade fifth-grade Taoist cultivation, serves as Liu Cuilan's deputy general.
Such a formally organized Celestial Legion has extremely amazing combat effectiveness, not to mention those with great magical powers.
Ordinary monsters with great supernatural powers who have little cultivation level will have to take a detour if they meet the [Qingluan Army], and are unwilling to confront them head-on.
Being able to trap or even threaten the [Qingluan Army] must be no small feat.
At the first moment, Chu Chen called out the "Dream Stone" and communicated with Sister Wan'er.
It's a pity that the news fell into the sea, and there was no reply at all.
Immediately, Chu Chen summoned the [Five Color Dream Dragon] and used the magical power of the master of "Dream Realm" to search for the location of the dream stone on Sister Wan'er's body.
However, to his disappointment, Sister Wan'er's dream stone seemed to have been blocked, disappeared out of thin air, and could not be found.
After thinking about this, Chu Chen, who was worried about his sister, couldn't sit still and asked:
"Uncle Master, where did my sister last disappear? Can you deduce it?"
"They're in the Thundering Plains."
Yu Xuzi nodded slightly, and then said: "I am sitting on the border and have no time to pay attention to him. You brothers, please leave immediately to see what is going on!"
"Yes! Master (Master-uncle)"
Chu Chen and Chi Yangzi received Yu Xuzi's spiritual message, immediately stood up, swayed, and disappeared into the courtyard.
As the saying goes, sharpening the knife will not waste time chopping wood.
After Chu Chen left the state city, he went straight to the outskirts of the Demonic Palace and took all the little devils and his soldiers with him.
Especially "Little Ghost Boy" is extremely useful.
"Senior brother, what's wrong with Sister Wan'er?"
"She has lost contact. Come, follow me to find her."
"oh oh."
While one person and one fairy boy were talking, Chi Yangzi, who had explained the military affairs, hurried over and joined him.
After the meeting, the two of them immediately used their escape skills and set off without saying anything else.
The two escape masters came from the same sect, and both had the Yun Xin Seal in the "Twelve Seals of Tianmui Lingwen".
Chi Yangzi controlled the clouds with two seals: [Wind Letter Seal] and [Cloud Letter Seal].
Chu Chen, on the other hand, had the Five Elements and Seven Great Dharma Seals appearing all over his body, and the five-color auspicious clouds steaming under his feet were more dramatic.
Chi Yangzi's magic power cultivation was more advanced, but his escape light fell behind Chu Chen. Even if he used all his magic power, he could not catch up, but he could barely keep up so as not to be thrown away.
"It's actually [Five Colored Auspicious Clouds], seven seals linked together."
Chi Yangzi saw the details of the five-color auspicious clouds at Chu Chen's feet at a glance, and was surprised in his heart.
In the past few years, he has also begun to practice the "Twelve Seals of Heavenly Essence Spiritual Inscriptions" and has inherited it from his master. However, he has not mastered this skill so far, and his skills are far behind.
Despite being surprised, Chiyangzi felt a little stressed.
The two of them used this magical power at the same time. In the eyes of outsiders, they would probably think that Chu Chen was the direct descendant of Gui Gu and the real senior brother of Gui Gu.
Normally, Chu Chen would definitely not show off his magical powers, and would take the initiative to slow down his escape speed and wait for Guigu Senior Brother Chi Yangzi to avoid embarrassment.
However, at the moment, he was worried about his sister and had no time to take care of this aspect. Along the way, he activated his magic power to the extreme and rushed on with all his strength.
In about a stick of incense, the two of them arrived at the place where Sister Wan'er [Qingluan Army] disappeared - the Thunder Plain area of Cangzhou.
This place is located in the south of Cangzhou, full of rivers, lakes, wetlands and swamps.
, the river system extends in all directions. It is named "Thunder Plain" because of the frequent rains and frequent thunders.
On the Thunder Plain, humans, monsters, ghosts and demons live together, and a large number of primitive tribes thrive here.
Primitive tribes, whether they are human tribes or demon tribes, nature worship is a common custom of any primitive tribe.
Depending on the living environment, the objects of worship are different.
Mountain gods are worshiped in areas near mountains;
Those near rivers, lakes, and oceans worship water gods and sea gods;
Wind gods are worshiped in windy areas;
In rainy areas, the gods of rain and thunder are worshiped.
If no innate gods are born, some monsters who have learned the "God Conferring Technique" can connect with the earth's water veins, connect with the "worship of all peoples" in the dark, and ignite the divine fire to confer gods in one fell swoop. This was also the wilderness era, when temples were everywhere. The reason for the grass-headed god.
Thunder Prairie is no exception.
It rains here all year round, with abundant rain and thunder from time to time. Therefore, the primitive tribes here worship the "Thunder God" extremely much, and hundreds of "Thunder Gods" were born, large and small. Basically, a tribe will worship its own "Thunder God".
There are thunder gods in the form of thunder beasts such as Lei Peng and Kui Niu, as well as thunder gods with the body of a dragon and a human head, half human and half bird. There are many kinds of thunder gods. However, all the indigenous creatures in the entire Thunder Plain worship "Lei Ancestor".
It is said that this "Lei Ancestor" has extremely powerful magical powers and is the patron saint of all living things in this area. The outside world respects him as "Lei Ming Ancestor" and is a peerless strong man.
"Senior Brother Chiyangzi, I wonder if our Heavenly Court and Lei Mingping have any communication. Why don't we contact them and ask what the situation is."
After Chu Chen learned that he was transferred to the Cangzhou Governor's Mansion, he had a comprehensive understanding of the major forces in Cangzhou and knew that Thunder Plains was the top neutral force in the eight southwest states.
Since it is a neutral force, there is hope for communication.
Sister Wan'er's [Qingluan Army] was ordered to encircle and suppress a demon cave in Cangzhou. They passed by the Thunder Plains and disappeared. The best way is to contact the tribes in the Thunder Plains. "Junior Brother Zhenyi, your idea is good, but you don't know something. This Thunder Ancestor Divine Dragon is extremely mysterious and has no control over the major tribes in the Thunder Plains. As long as there is no catastrophe in the Thunder Plains, he will basically not Show up, as for the major tribes below, they are all working on their own, fighting with each other, and they are in a state of disunity."
Chi Yangzi said with emotion: "If we could get in touch, Master would have contacted Ancestor Lei Ming a long time ago. With this Ancestor's order, it would only take a word to find Junior Sister Wan'er and the others." Chu Chen suddenly realized.
"If this is the case, we may have to look for it slowly."
"It can only be this way."
listen. "
Chiyangzi nodded slightly: "I'm quite familiar with this place. Let's go to the ground to find out. "Okay!"
While talking, the two of them did not stop, and their figures suddenly disappeared.
Half an hour later.
Chu Chen and Chi Yangzi went around recruiting mountain spirits and lonely ghosts, and used the "Ear Reporting Technique" to find clues about the "Qingluan Army".
According to the little monsters in the mountains, they saw a giant "flying boat" roaring past in the sky a few hours ago, fighting with monsters, flying sand and rocks, and the sky was dark and the ground was dark. The scene was huge. They followed this clue and followed it all the way, and finally learned that a giant treasure boat suspected to be from the "Qingluan Army" had sailed into the "Thousand Thunder Swamp".
"No wonder the [Qingluan Army] lost contact and went to Wan Lei Swamp!"
Chi Yangzi looked very ugly and cursed: "I don't know how Fellow Daoist Liu led the troops, but he actually led the army into the desert. It's too reckless and too confused. I will definitely intervene afterward." Chu Chen also looked very sad. Ugly.
He has also heard of this "Thousand Thunder Swamp".
Thunder clouds gather here all year round, including sky thunder, poisonous thunder, water thunder, fire thunder... all kinds of thunder and energy gather together, forming a thunderstorm in a radius of hundreds of miles.
Thunder is formed by the two qi of yin and yang. Where thunder and qi gather, yin and yang change unpredictably. It is born with the magic of shielding the secrets of heaven and isolating spiritual consciousness.
This is also the reason why my uncle Yu Xuzi cannot deduce the whereabouts of the [Qingluan Army].
Of course, the most important thing is, "Thousand Thunder Swamp"
Extremely dangerous.
Under the gathering of infinite thunder, thunder would strike from time to time.
A thunder struck down, the thunder stirred, and then one after another, the thunder struck down, thousands of thunders roared, and the thunder cloud storm swept across, the sky and the earth were wiped out, it was a truly dangerous place, a forbidden area of life.
Even those with great magical powers would not dare to get involved easily.
The [Qingluan] that the [Qingluan Army] rides on is the top treasure boat in the Celestial Court. The protective barrier it carries can withstand attacks from monsters with great magical powers, and its defense is amazing.
However, if it enters the "Thousand Thunder Swamp" and encounters a thunderstorm, the "Qingluan Treasure Boat" with its amazing defense will not be able to withstand it for long.
At this thought, Chu Chen felt a sense of urgency.
Sister Wan'er holds a very important place in his heart.
In his early years, he had been in chaos for twenty years. The person who cared about him the most was not his father and mother, but his sister Chen Wan.
Sister Wan'er worshiped Guigu Shuiliandong in her early years. She didn't like red clothes and preferred armed weapons. She aspired to join the army and lead troops to kill the enemy. However, she was worried that her ignorant brother would be bullied, so she gave up her ambition and stayed at home to take care of him.
Chu Chen almost didn't think about it like this, and immediately said decisively:
"Senior Brother Chi Yangzi, what are you waiting for? Let's go into Wan Lei Swamp to find someone..."
Before Chiyangzi could speak, the kid beside him reminded him in a low voice:
"Senior brother, the calamity energy above your head has begun to gather. It may be dangerous for us to go in." "Junior brother Zhenyi, your fairy boy is right, it is too dangerous to go in like this." Seeing Chu Chen's anxious look, Chiyangzi thought. What to say, explained:
"I'm not saying that we can't go in for rescue, but we need to find a guide first. The place where thunderclouds gather cuts off spiritual consciousness. Without a guide, it's easy to get trapped in the illusion of thunderclouds. Not only can't we save people, but you and I will also have to get trapped in and out. Not coming."
Chu Chen was not an impulsive person. He nodded and asked for advice:
"I wonder where there is a guide?"
"The guide is not far away."
The guide Chiyangzi was talking about was a tribe called the "Frog God Clan" thirty miles away.
The god worshiped by this tribe is the "Frog God".
As the name suggests, the body of this deity is a golden frog. Its whole body is bathed in golden thunder. When its belly is pressed, it can make roaring thunder. When it opens its mouth, thunder and fire shine in the sky... It is said that this "frog god" was born in Wanlei Swamp. The ability to enter and exit the "Thousand Thunder Swamp" at will.
"Quack quack quack!"
As a monk with great supernatural powers, he is no small figure anywhere in the world of immortality.
The visit of Chu Chen and Chi Yangzi was quickly warmly welcomed by the "Frog God Clan".
At the gate of a giant walled city, hundreds of half-human and half-frog frogmen were singing and dancing to welcome the two of them.
Their dancing posture is very strange. They squat with their legs bent and their arms raised, like a frog, jumping up and down.
"Two fellow Taoists, please come and have a chat."
A sound of thunder rang out, and Chu Chen and Chi Yangzi cupped their hands towards the frog gods who greeted them, and followed the sound to escape.
The person who met the two of them was none other than the "Frog God".
This frog god is about the size of a child, with the body of a frog and the head of a frog. The body is golden and blue, and he is wearing lotus leaf clothes. When he saw the two of them, he was quite friendly and asked:
"I wonder who these two Taoist friends are, and where do they live?"
"The poor Taoist Chu Chen (Chiyangzi) has met fellow Taoist Frog God."
The two of them bowed their hands and explained their origins from the Guigu lineage.
"It turns out to be a high-ranking cultivator from the Celestial Dynasty."
The frog god's voice was high-pitched, with a hint of "childlike" voice. After thinking about it carefully, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he asked:
"You are here to search for the flying treasure ship that broke into Ten Thousand Thunder Swamp a few hours ago, right?"
"Exactly!"
Chu Chen and Chi Yangzi looked happy, as the other party guessed their intention at once.
Obviously, the other party knew what happened.
"Friend Frog God, I wonder what happened?"
Chiyangzi couldn't help but feel curious. In fact, he was also very puzzled.
Hey, the leader of [Qingluan Army] Liu Cuilan is not a reckless person who is greedy for power. The monster broke into the desperate situation and stopped. It is really strange that [Qingluan Treasure Ship] managed to break into the Thousand Thunder Swamp.
"Actually, nothing happened. They were just unlucky. They were chasing demons outside the Thousand Thunder Swamp, and they happened to encounter a thunder cloud demon. They were accidentally swallowed by the thunder spirit in the cloud, and eventually fell into despair."
The Thunder Spirit is the phantom of thunder clouds and has little intelligence. However, it gathers violent thunder power around its body and can create illusions, which is extremely terrifying. Once swallowed by it and mistakenly enter the Thousand Thunder Swamp, even a powerful person with great supernatural powers may not be able to get out. coming.
The frog god said it in an understatement. It was obvious that he had seen this kind of situation many times, and there was no emotion on his face.
Chu Chen and Chi Yangzi were a little depressed. They really encountered bad luck.
"Friend Frog God, I wonder if I could trouble you to come to the rescue."
Chiyangzi bowed his hands, and after speaking, he quickly added: "We understand the rules, and your reward will definitely be indispensable."
"Quack quack quack!"
The Frog God wanted to help you, and said with regret: "I wanted to help you, but unfortunately, I am powerless."
When Chu Chen and Chi Yangzi heard this, their expressions changed, and they felt bad:
"Friend Frog God, you don't come in and out of Ten Thousand Thunder Swamps at will? Why..."
The Frog God shook his head: "The outside world is just exaggerating. I am not an innate thunder god born from heaven and earth. I am also a practicing person. How can I enter and exit the Thousand Thunder Swamp at will? At this time of chaotic thunder clouds and violent thunder, I dare not Go in."
Chu Chen frowned slightly, no wonder the little devil who had predicted disaster just now met Lei Yun.
This is undoubtedly adding insult to injury, and the situation has become increasingly dangerous.
Chi Yangzi smiled flatteringly:
"Friend Frog God, please make an offer as soon as possible. As long as you are willing to take action, everything is easy to discuss." "This is not a matter of making an offer."
The frog god waved his hands repeatedly, saying that he had no intention of going in to save anyone.
After saying that, the Frog God seemed a little impatient when he saw that the two of them were unwilling to let them go and tried to persuade them again, and said:
"No matter what the price is, I won't take this job. It's too dangerous."
When Chu Chen saw this, he felt unwilling and said:
"Friend Frog God, is there really no hope at all?"
Hearing this, the Frog God was silent for a moment and looked at Chu Chen and Chi Yangzi.
"Two fellow Taoists, if one of you is proficient in the Thunder Method of the Immortal Family, I would be willing to accompany you on a journey. I may even have an opportunity to share with you..."
