Jiang Chen walked in the forest, and there was nothing but the occasional sight of some monks.

In this month's time, although Jiang Chen's cultivation has not improved, the Jindan Consummation has been very consolidated, and he is only one step away from being able to break through, and this cultivation speed is difficult to see in the entire mortal realm.

"There are still three days to reach a fortress, this fortress is in the west of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and this fortress is the largest fortress in the Great Zhou Kingdom. Only after entering this fortress can you step into the Great Zhou City, the imperial capital, and other routes cannot enter the Great Zhou City. Da Zhou Guo is still doing a good job of this! ”

Jiang Chen muttered to himself, and couldn't help but praise the Great Zhou State for its protection of the imperial capital.

"However, since the last time I met a monk in this forest to inquire about the situation, it will be half a month's walk to reach this fortress. It was only two months to arrive in Dazhou City. Jiang Chen nodded, then got up and began to continue on his way.

Jiang Chen followed the guidance of the map all the way, and three days later, he finally came to the fortress he said, and just stepped out of the forest, he had a feeling of not being seen for a long time.

However, looking at the fortress in the distance, he was silent for a long time, and his face was full of shock. A little, Jiang Chen raised his head slightly, and the fortress as thick as a mountain appeared in his eyes, both ends of the fortress were straight cliffs, and between the two walls, there was a huge illusory light gate standing there, twenty zhang high and thirty-five zhang wide, tightly closed.

There were only six tiny doors in the middle, which of course were relative to the fortress.

However, it is also quite a large gate for people, and outside these gates there are many monks lining up to enter the fortress.

"Is this the Zhiqiu Fortress? Sure enough, it is worthy of being the first fortress of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and it is also the most important fortress! Jiang Chen sighed at the majesty of the Zhiqiu Fortress and rushed all the way to the Zhiqiu Fortress.

After several hours of travel again, we came to the gate of the fortress. There were five gates, all of which were lined up in long queues, and there was also one gate where some highly cultivated monks occasionally entered the fortress unhindered.

The minimum cultivation to enter the sixth gate is also in the early stage of the Yuan Infant, and of course there are some who don't even have cultivation. There are no queues and there are very few people.

Jiang Chen guessed that it should be specially entered for those monks with advanced cultivation, or people of noble status, but it was true.

Jiang Chen casually chose a door and began to queue for a long time. Looking at the team in front of him, there was still half an hour to reach him, and he wanted to close his eyes and rest. But the conversation between the two people next to him immediately attracted him.

"Have you heard of it, Lord Zhiqiu Sai is going to invite some of the sect disciples who have been there this time to hold a small gathering in advance."

"Of course I've heard of this, it seems that Lord Zhiqiu Sai is to receive those sect disciples, after all, there is still half a year to go to the sect competition. This sect is the prosperity of the Great Zhou Kingdom. Of course, it is also the prosperous era of the entire Dongzhou, and the genius disciples of the three major dynasties will gather with the Great Zhou Kingdom, and the Lord of Zhiqiu just cherishes talents, so he held this small gathering. ”

"Hehe, too, people who know that the Lord of Qiu Sai is so talented will definitely not let go of this opportunity. The Great Zhou State finally got the power to hold the Dongzhou Sect Contest this time, and it is estimated that it will be another hundred years to wait for the next session. ”

"Two fellow Daoists, what did you just say?" Jiang Chen leaned forward slightly and whispered to the two people discussing in front of him.

One of them looked back at Jiang Chen, and when he saw that it was a seemingly inconspicuous monk, a trace of disdain suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he didn't shake Jiang Chen, so he turned back and communicated with his companion again.

"Hehe, this senior, this Xuanshi is not a tribute, it can be regarded as a junior who respects you old." Jiang Chen was not angry, but took out fifty low-grade Xuanshi and sent them to the middle-aged man in front, and said with a smile.

Li Lin, that is, the middle-aged man, saw the spirit stone in Jiang Chen's hand, and then heard Jiang Chen's words, knew Jiang Chen's thoughts, and immediately took the Xuanshi into his hands.

I was secretly happy in my heart, this advantage was not taken advantage of, and he pretended to be calm and said: "Cough, count you as a junior." Don't you want to know about the meeting of the Lord of the Know-Autumn Fortress? Hehe, then you're asking the right person, and I know better. ”

"Wait a minute, senior, who is this Zhiqiu Sai Master?" Jiang Chen came all the way over, and he heard the four words of Zhiqiu Sai Lord, he never understood who this Zhiqiu Sai Master was, seeing their expressions, he was very respectful of Zhiqiu Sai Lord, which made Jiang Chen even more curious.

"Huh? I don't know the lord of the autumn plug? Li Lin suddenly shouted, this exclamation caused the surrounding monks to watch, and the eyes that looked at Jiang Chen were a little more disdainful, even the Lord Zhiqiu didn't know?

Zhiqiu Saizhu is a well-known existence in the entire Dongzhou, and it is estimated that that person must have lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests for a long time.

"Wind chimes, frost and cold leaves, haven't you always heard of it?" Li Lin asked rhetorically again.

"Wind chimes frost cold leaves know autumn ......" Jiang Chen mentally recited this sentence silently, he seemed to remember that this sentence was learned from the mouth of a monk in the mountain range a month ago, so he nodded, and then shook his head again.

"Okay......" Li Lin didn't know what to say, and now he had the same idea as everyone else, that is, Jiang Chen was really a monk who had never been out of the mountains.

And for the first time, as for coming from other states, I didn't think about it, and automatically ignored the idea.

"The fortress ahead is called Zhiqiu Fortress, you always know this, right?" Li Lin said again.

"I know this, Zhiqiu Fortress, the first fortress of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and the most important fortress." Jiang Chen nodded, this was still told to him by the system, and the reason why the system knew some of the broken memories from the past.

In fact, the system is very familiar with the entire Journey to the West world, but due to his host cultivation, his memory is a little scattered. However, due to the fragmentation of memory, the system does not know what the fortress is called, only knows that there is an important fortress of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and as for Jiang Chen, he knows that the Zhiqiu fortress was heard from a few monks in the mountain range.

"In fact, two hundred years ago, this fortress was not called Zhiqiu Fortress, but Vault Fortress. The reason why it was changed to Zhiqiu Fortress is because of one person, Ye Zhiqiu! At that time, the Great Zhou Kingdom was in internal and external strife, and it was only a matter of time before the country was destroyed.

But at this time, Ye Zhiqiu was like a heavenly soldier descending, no one knew where his cultivation was, but he was able to compete with the old monsters in the merger period, not only was he not defeated, but he was tied.

In the end, the old monster from the early stage of the merger from the Zongheng Dynasty who fought against Ye Zhiqiu immediately gave up the crusade against the Great Zhou Kingdom, and so did the Yun Dynasty. As for those small dynasties, they didn't dare to do so, and then the emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom changed the Firmament Fortress to the Zhiqiu Fortress. Li Lin can also be regarded as a trustworthy person, and while slowly moving forward, he answered his doubts with Jiang Chen.
