Se Wujie was confused. Although Shaolin Temple was also in Henan Province and was only a few hundred miles away from here, it was only because Shaolin Temple was strictly guarded and the people who came and went were monks from all over the world. They had long cut off contact with the secular people, so they knew nothing about this place.
"You really don't know?" the shopkeeper asked. Luoyang's peonies were the best in the world. Every year, on the day when the peonies bloomed the most in April and May, peony lovers and literati from all over the world would gather in Luoyang. At this time, Luoyang would also hold an annual peony festival in Longmen to select the 'Flower King' and 'Flower Queen' who would appreciate the peonies.'The Flower King was worth 100 taels of gold, and the Flower King was worth 50 taels of gold. Scholars from all over the world can't participate as individuals. They have to be famous. Our Peony Pavilion is one of them. It will compete with the other five in Luoyang. As long as you can defeat the Flower King, you will get ten taels of gold. I see that the guest has delicate features and must have read a lot of books. The probability of winning is very high. It all depends on whether you are willing to graduate in the name of Peony Pavilion.”
"Why don't you come along, brother?" The other scholars chimed in.”"I think it's better not to, because I'm determined to get this flower king crown.”"If the Flower Empress is a beautiful woman, if I can marry her, that would be a story that will last forever.”Se Wujie had heard a lot about them. Although he was a little tempted, he had no intention of participating. When he heard that the Flower Empress might be a beautiful woman, he immediately became interested. He naturally thought that the Flower Empress would be the woman he had met today, so he readily agreed.
"Good, sir, you are indeed straightforward."”Then, he raised his voice and said," Waiter…" The waiter replied and ran to the door. He hung the word " Thank you " on the door, indicating that the Peony Restaurant was full. From then on, people would come to the shop from time to time. When they saw that the shop was full, some of them even complained,"We came all the way here, so why is it full so quickly?”The shopkeeper turned to Se Wujie and said," Sir, you saw that, right? If you were a little slower, it would be terrifying…" Se Wujie also understood and nodded repeatedly.
At this moment, the waiter handed over an anthology and said,"Sir, this book contains all the history of peonies. As long as you are familiar with it, you will be able to get the Flower King.”Naturally, he said this to every customer. Se Wujie took the anthology and looked around. He suddenly felt strange. The scholars who were discussing with each other just now were all gone. The shopkeeper saw him looking around and understood. He said,""The peony festival will be held at midnight tonight. Everyone has gone to bed after lunch.”The waiter continued,"I think you should eat something and go to sleep. You should also have the energy to snatch the crown of the flower king."”Se Wujie nodded in agreement. After eating some food, he returned to his room. Then, the Peony Restaurant hurriedly closed its doors.
Se Wujie lay on his bed and began to read the anthology. He wasn't preparing for the Flower King, but he had been attracted by the peonies on Beimang Mountain. He couldn't help but start to read. It took him about two hours to read the anthology from beginning to end. Se Wujie had been practicing martial arts in Shaolin all day long and did not feel tired. However, after reading for two hours, he felt sleepy. Although it was only noon, he fell asleep immediately.
It was unknown in her dreams. As the saying goes, what one thinks in the day and dreams in the night. Once Se Wujie entered dreamland, his mind was filled with the shadow of peonies. However, in his dreams, a person's nature was undoubtedly exposed. Those beautiful and enchanting peonies had turned into beautiful women. Se Wujie was in the midst of thousands of flowers. That kind of happiness, that kind of happiness, was simply like a god.
All of a sudden, he realized that a masked man had snatched away the beauty beside him. The other women were so scared that they all started to move and crowded around Se Wujie. At the same time, a voice came from somewhere,""Catch the rapist. Don't let him escape!”There were several people who echoed this voice. Se Wujie felt strange and looked around to see where the voice came from. However, not only did he not see it, but the women beside him also had ferocious expressions on their faces and wanted to kill him. Se Wujie, who had just recovered from her sweet dream, was shocked. Cold sweat broke out all over his body, and he realized that it was just a dream.
Se Wujie shook his head and sighed,"Se Wujie, ah, Se Wujie…" Suddenly, he heard someone shouting,"I'm not going to let you go.""He's on the roof, let's go surround him, don't let the rapist get away!”The sound was so real that Se Wujie knew that he was not dreaming. At the same time, he heard the creaking sound of the roof. It was obvious that someone was on the roof, and the footsteps were heavy. It was obvious that it was not a person. Lust Without Jie suddenly recalled that person's shout,""He's on the roof…Don't let the rapist get away!”Thinking that the person on the roof was him, he didn't hesitate any longer. In the blink of an eye, he had already broken through the wooden roof. His right dragon claw grabbed at the person's right arm.
With a series of banging sounds, broken tiles fell from the roof and scattered all around. Se Wujie finally saw that the person was carrying a drowsy woman on his back. The woman did not resist at all. Her eyes were dull. Other than being hit by the Bewitching Powder, it was obvious that her major acupoints had been hit. The person carrying him was dressed in black and his face was covered with a black cloth. Se Wujie could clearly see that he was a man and was slightly younger. Now that he had used the Dragon Claw Hand to strike first, he thought that it would be difficult for that person to escape.
The man was walking carefully on the roof when he suddenly felt his feet loosen. He knew something was wrong and immediately turned to leave. "It's too late!" Se Wujie laughed. The Dragon Claw Hand's five fingers tightened and grabbed his right arm. At this moment, he felt a chill run down his spine. The so-called rapist in front of him didn't have dragon arms. Just as he was thinking about it, the man kicked back and landed on Se Wujie's hand. Se Wujie was not prepared at all. His right hand shook violently, knowing that the martial arts of the person in front of him was not weak. However, he did not think of this at this moment. Instead, he thought of the unknown hand at the foot of the White Horse Temple and was distracted for a moment.
At this moment, someone shouted,"I see the rapist. Everyone, hurry up and attack."”He turned around and saw that there were already more than ten people behind him holding wooden sticks and charging over. Only a few people held steel knives.
Se Wujie turned around and saw that the man was flying toward the opposite roof with his legs crossed. They were several zhang apart, but that person was carrying a person on his back. His body was still as light as a swallow, and he landed on the roof of the opposite building. "Don't run!" Se Wujie said. He flew over. The " rapist " turned around and glanced at Se Wujie, before jumping into another roof.
Se Wujie gradually realized that this person's martial arts seemed to have some shadow of Shaolin, and he felt extremely confused. He thought to himself, but his legs didn't slow down at all. Although that person was carrying someone on his back, Se Wujie was still a distance away from him. He just couldn't get close. At this moment, he saw the person crouching down slightly with his left hand on the edge of the roof. In front of him was an alley. It seemed that he was going to escape into the alley.
Se Wujie was anxious, but he suddenly remembered the Buddha beads on his chest. He quickly flicked them out and hit the man's left hand. With a " Aiyo ", the man fell to the ground. When the two masters exchanged blows, it was during this brief moment that Se Wujie had arrived. He struck out with his right palm at the man, while his left hand was about to snatch the woman on his back.
As soon as the man fell to the ground, he wanted to jump up and escape, but he never expected Se Wujie to be so fast. He was shocked at first, but then he came back to his senses and quickly retreated, dodging Se Wujie's right palm. However, the woman on his back was already caught by his left hand, as if she was locked by an iron hoop. No matter how hard he tried, he could not break free. He could not help but say,"Your martial arts are indeed powerful!" " It's good that you know," Se Wujie said with a smile." Why don't you let go of this woman? Since we're like-minded…"
After saying this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong and changed the topic,"I see that this is your first offense. You're so pitiful at such a young age, so I'll let you live.”"How do you know it's my first offense?" The man laughed.”Se Wujie saw that he refused to repent, so he had no other choice. He stretched out his right hand and pointed at the Shanzhong, Huagai, and Tiantu on his chest, preparing to seal his Qi Gate so that he wouldn't have to chase after him all over the world.
Se Wujie saw that he did not resist, and this move would definitely subdue him. He did not expect a green bead to jump out of the man's body, and then his index and middle fingers were clamped between a stick. Se Wujie was shocked and looked carefully. He saw that the green bead was clamped on a thin and hard rod. If he used his index and middle fingers, even the hardest weapon would be broken. However, the thin rod did not break. Instead, it hurt his fingers. After understanding it, he shouted," Dog Beating Rod, you're from Beggar's Sect…""Beggar's Sect is a big sect in the world. They make clothes for the poor. Why would the Sect Master of Beggar's Sect do this?”
Se Wujie lowered his head and read, only to hear someone laughing in the distance,""Master, what are you muttering about? Go home and pray. I'm going to have fun. I won't accompany you anymore.”When Se Wujie heard that person call him Master, he was stunned. He had completely removed his monk attire and no one here knew him. How did that person know who he was? When he raised his head to look at that person, he had already disappeared without a trace. Now, he really wanted to figure it out. He shouted,"Don't run. Who are you? How did you know I was…"
He was afraid that the person had run far away. He immediately soared into the sky and wanted to chase after him. At this moment, he felt that he was grabbed by countless hands and someone shouted,"You pervert? You still want to run?" Se Wujie was shocked. He didn't know what was going on, but he thought that the things he had done were known. He was speechless. Another person said," Where did you take the daughter of the Zhang family? Hurry up and hand her over. Otherwise, don't even think about leaving this place!"”Several people responded and grabbed Se Wujie one after another, leaving no gaps in their bodies.
