Chapter 576 Six Thieves Appear

Zhang Chen decided that he would take part in the selection to enter the mysterious academy. Now that he had decided to live in seclusion in Jinling and had lost the source of his skills, he must of course try his best to obtain the source of his skills, and the academy was a good choice.

Zhang Chen stayed in the carriage for a while and felt bored. He quickly went to a big tree in the distance to meditate and practice, carefully polishing his own spirit.

He is now practicing every minute and is unwilling to waste his own time. To him, time is life.

As time passed, about three hours later, there was a sound of footsteps, which woke up Zhang Chen who was meditating on the tree. Zhang Chen heard the sound and looked through the dense branches and leaves, and saw two figures, one red and one white, coming into view.

"It's my cheap cousin and the woman in red." Zhang Chen could tell the other party's origins at a glance.

One of them was Zhang Gaoqiu, and the other was the girl in red who had a close relationship with Jiang Nan before. At this time, the two of them were standing side by side in the dense forest. They were very close to each other, and it was unknown what they were talking about. Unfortunately, they were too far away for Zhang Chen to hear clearly.

"Turns out they are a pair of illegitimate lovebirds! My eldest cousin is quite resourceful. Not long after arriving in Jinling, he has hooked up with a young lady from a wealthy family. He is truly a playboy." Zhang Chen said to himself.

Zhang Chen had completed his practice at this time and was about to refresh himself, but he did not continue practicing and instead sat on a tree to eat melons.

The two men stood in the dense forest and talked for an hour. The woman in red was gradually embraced by the man. The attitude between the two was very intimate. Zhang Chen watched with great interest. However, it was a pity that it was not the restricted movie he had imagined.

After a while, a calling voice came from afar. Zhang Gaoqiu talked to the woman and then left first, leaving the woman in red to tidy up her clothes in the lush forest. Then the woman looked around, hesitated for a moment and walked towards Zhang Chen. Then she actually came to the big tree where Zhang Chen was, and then lifted her red skirt, revealing her dazzling whiteness.

Zhang Chen stared at the two round white pieces and the surging sound of water, and couldn't help but stare blankly: "Is this something I can see?"

Thinking that this was not what a gentleman did, Zhang Chen quickly closed his eyes. However, Zhang Chen did not know that at the moment he closed his eyes, an insect fell from the tree and happened to land on the white petal. Then the woman screamed, and Zhang Chen opened his eyes in shock. He saw the delicate eyes of the woman in red looking at him with anger.

"You scoundrel!" A sword appeared in the woman's hand, and she leaped towards Zhang Chen on the tree.

"Not good! I have already restrained my energy, how did she find out where I was?" Zhang Chen was shocked and quickly used his escape technique to escape, not wanting to cause too much noise.

The sword energy swept through the tree, splitting the whole tree into two halves, but was there any trace of Zhang Chen?

"You pervert! Don't let me catch you, or I will cut you into pieces!" The red-dressed woman's eyes were spitting fire. She never thought that her innocence would be lost due to her carelessness. She was extremely furious.

Moreover, she didn't dare to tell anyone about what happened. She felt really depressed and aggrieved. She could only take her sword and cut the tree into pieces, then turn around and walk back.

Zhang Chen appeared on a tree in the distance, his face burning with anger: "I haven't touched a woman in a long time, and I'm so angry. It's really hard to deal with her!"

The two round, snow-white pieces were firmly engraved in Zhang Chen's mind, making him feel restless and angry.

"I, Zhang Chen, am a gentleman. If I want a woman, I will get married or go to a prostitute. I must never do such dirty things." Zhang Chen secretly warned himself and wanted to close his eyes and calm down. However, as soon as he closed his eyes, he was blinded by the blinding whiteness. No matter how he tried to calm down, he could not suppress the anger in his heart.

"Something is not right!" After a long time, Zhang Chen just felt restless and still unable to concentrate. He opened his eyes and pondered secretly. With his current level of Taoism, it should not be difficult to subdue distracting thoughts and concentrate. Why is he so restless now?

"Your six thieves have attacked." At this moment, the Great Freedom Demon appeared beside Zhang Chen and said slowly.

"Six thieves? What are the six thieves?" Zhang Chen looked at the Great Freedom Demon.

"The six thieves are the ears, nose, tongue, mind, body and eyes. The eyes see joy, the ears hear anger, the nose smells love, the tongue tastes thought, the senses desire, and the body is worried. Now you are obsessed with the desires of men and women and can't let it go. This is the six thieves causing trouble. You are now awakening your body consciousness, and the six thieves will cause your essence, energy and spirit to leak out. They are the big thieves of longevity. If you want to have a solid foundation, you must kill the six thieves." said the Great Freedom Demon.

"How to suppress the six bandits?" Zhang Chen asked the question that was in his mind.

The Great Freedom Demon shook his head: "I don't know! I don't practice Taoism, how would I know how to suppress the six thieves?"

"This is difficult!" Zhang Chen scratched his head. The road to immortality was indeed full of obstacles. If you were not careful, you would end up dead.

"The six thieves disturb people's spirit and energy, and will make people lose their minds. You must be careful and cautious, and never cause a big disaster during this period." The Great Freedom Demon reminded, and then his figure disappeared between heaven and earth. Zhang Chen sat cross-legged on the tree in silence, thinking about how to subdue the six thieves. He remembered that when he watched Journey to the West in his previous life, Sun Wukong killed the six thieves, but what about himself?

What should I do if my six thieves have not awakened and turned into robbers?
Just as Zhang Chen's mind was filled with thousands of thoughts, the sky began to darken and the Shen family's convoy was preparing to return.

Seeing this, Zhang Chen put aside his thoughts and followed the carriage silently. As expected, the soldiers guarding the city did not dare to offend the Shen family's carriage. The Shen family's carriage went all the way into the city. Then Jiang Nan found an excuse to stop the carriage and buy something in a shop nearby. Then the little girl Mi Gao sent away the servants nearby and let Zhang's family down. Zhang Chen had been waiting in the crowd at this time. After seeing Zhang and his group, he waved to Zhang and others, and the family disappeared in the crowd.

"Junior brother, this Jinling city is really prosperous. It's simply packed with people, and there are countless people coming and going." Cheng Yu followed Zhang Chen, looking at the passers-by with a hint of joy and curiosity in his eyes.

The two little ones and Zhang at the side were also shocked by the past prosperity. They followed Zhang Chen closely with a hint of nervousness in their eyes.

Zhang Chen led the donkey and watched the passers-by coming in like a tide and the small vendors shouting constantly. This kind of prosperity could never be compared with that in the north.

The most important thing is that the people passing by naturally have a kind of spirit and energy. Although their clothes are not luxurious, they are neat and clean without any torn patches.

Zhang Chen and his family traveled thousands of miles, covered in dust and dirt, and looked out of place in the entire Jinling city.

If we couldn't see the difference outside the city, today as soon as we entered the city, we felt like a big white goose entering a flock of swans, becoming a strange alien.

"Haha, they are just dressed better. We are not bad either. Let's find a place to settle down first and wash up. We will be no worse off than anyone else." Zhang Chen called his family to walk in the crowded crowd and came to the inn. He saw the waiter coming up to them with an eager face, and there was no scene of looking down on others.

After verifying the pass, the family booked three rooms. Zhang Chen had one room, and Zhang, Cheng Yu, and Zhang Tao had one room. As for Zhang Fei, Zhang Chen arranged a room for the kid as he also needed to meditate and practice, and didn't want to share a room with Zhang Fei, such an active and naughty child.

Zhang Fei has come a long way, and with the martial arts training to cleanse his marrow, shave his hair and strengthen his muscles and bones, he is no longer a child and has begun to have gender awareness. It would not be a good idea for him to stay in the same room with Zhang Taowei, Cheng Yu and others.

Zhang Chen returned to his room, washed up, and then asked the waiter to bring a fine banquet. Then the family happily began to eat.

As expected, after washing up, the Zhang family looked like a phoenix that had transformed from a sparrow into a phoenix. They all had extraordinary blood, and their spirit and energy were absolutely incomparable to that of ordinary people.

After dinner, Zhang Chen began to think about what to do next. Zhang Shi asked, "Chen'er, what are your plans? When are we going to visit the Shen family?"

Zhang Chen said, "But we can't be in a hurry. We still need to buy some decent gifts before we visit them, so that they won't think we are poor relatives begging for food."

"But...the matter of money..." Zhang hesitated.

"I'll find a way." Zhang Chen already had a plan in mind.

After the family finished their meal and washed up to rest, Zhang Chen got up and walked out of the inn, and began to wander around Jinling City. After encountering a medicine shop, Zhang Chen walked into it and asked, "Is the shopkeeper here?"

"Sir, what can I do for you?" The young apprentice walked forward humbly and bowed to Zhang Chen.

"I want to buy some ginseng seeds. Do you have any ginseng seeds here?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Buy ginseng seeds? Yes, ten ginseng seeds for one penny of silver, how many do you want?" the waiter asked respectfully.

"Give me a hundred pills!"

Zhang Chen took out the silver to pay the bill, then took the ginseng seeds to the wilderness, and after filling some loess into the ascension pool, he got up and walked towards the city.

Ginseng has extremely demanding requirements for the environment in which it grows. Loess is certainly not suitable for the growth of ginseng, but Zhang Chen's ascension pool can produce the liquid of creation every day. The liquid has incredible effects. Let alone loess, Zhang Chen can make it grow even in the harshest of environments.

However, since the Ascension Pool was filled with loess, it could no longer be stored in the Basher Space. After all, loess had no mysterious properties. So Zhang Chen could only shrink the Ascension Pool to the size of a fist and put it in his sleeve. Then he hummed a tune slowly, strolled around the street, went to the tailor shop to order a few clothes, and made an appointment with the tailor to come to his house to weigh his body.
