The leaves are like willows and bamboos, and the flowers are as bright as peach blossoms!

"Oleander!" Wang Yugui blurted out. Yes, he knew this flower.

In the modern world, oleander is a common road landscape plant, and Wang Yugui has seen it many times in the modern world.

But in ancient times, it was the first time he saw this flower!

How could there be such a flower in Shuijing Temple? Wang Yugui was very surprised!

The eldest sister didn't understand and asked, "Brother, what did you say?"

Wang Yugui was about to explain when suddenly, Jingyin's voice came from behind him: "Hey, are you two here?"

"I just went to the Master's Hall to get the dishes and saw that the door was locked. I thought you two had left Shuijing Temple and went down the mountain!"

Wang Yugui and his elder sister turned around at the same time when they heard the voice. Wang Yugui said with a smile, "We just went outside the nunnery for something. Sorry to have Master Jingyin make such a wasted trip."

He added: "If we go down the mountain, we will tell you!"

"Okay," Jingyin nodded.

The eldest sister stepped forward, pointed at the flowers on the other side of the fence, and asked Jingyin: "Master Jingyin, what kind of flower is that? Why don't I recognize it?"

Jingyin looked up and said calmly: "It's right that you don't know him!"

"That is the sacred flower that protects our Shuijing Temple. It is said that it was given to our great master by a nun from another vassal state."

"Ah? Magical flowers?" The eldest sister was surprised and couldn't help staring at the flowers for a few more times.

After hearing this, Wang Yugui laughed secretly and thought: Isn’t that oleander?

If the ancients didn't know it, why did they regard it as a magical flower?

Jingyin added: "There is also a circle of thorny green plants around the myth, called the Tyrant Tree."

"It was brought back by one of our ancestors during his travels. It is also the guardian tree of our nunnery!"

Oh, this Shuijing Temple is amazing. It not only has magical flowers, but also magical trees.

Tyrannosaurus Rex? What the hell is that?

Wang Yugui was very curious, so he walked forward a few steps and took a closer look at the wall. Oh, it turned out to be the king tree!

I saw a row of tall cacti planted between the oleander and the wall, and the cacti had many beautiful yellow flowers in bloom!

That’s right, the guardian tree of the courtyard that Jingyin mentioned, the Overlord Tree, is referring to this cactus.

The eldest sister also followed curiously. Jingyin saw that the two of them had run to the wall, so she hurriedly chased after them and shouted, "You two, quickly retreat and don't get close to the sacred trees and flowers!"

Wang Yugui and Damei were both shocked. It was the first time they heard Jingyin speak so loudly.

Wang Yugui and the eldest sister both took two steps back. The eldest sister smiled and said, "Master Jingyin, don't be nervous. We are just curious and want to take a closer look."

"Don't worry, we won't pick the flowers, hehe!"

"No, sister, you don't know, I'm afraid the sacred tree and sacred flower will hurt you!" Jingyin said hurriedly.

He added: "The thorns of the king angelica tree are very sharp. If you accidentally touch them, you may get hurt."

"My master said that we should not get close to the sacred flower, but only watch it from afar. If you desecrate it, you will be punished by the gods, and it may be harmful to your health."

"Ah? This sacred tree and sacred flower are so powerful? Oh, there are thorns on the sacred tree. Well, the thorns look scary, but the yellow flowers are pretty nice." The eldest sister stared at the cactus after hearing this.

Then he stared at the oleander and said, "Oh, it's a pity that this magical flower is so beautiful, but we can't get close to it!

"Yes, that's right. Just remember that. The sisters in our nunnery don't dare to get close to us," Jingyin said.

After listening to this, Wang Yugui smiled slightly. He knew the answer to this question: Because although the branches of oleander are beautiful, the whole plant is poisonous, and extremely poisonous!

The eldest sister wanted to ask more, but Wang Yugui smiled and said, "Okay, eldest sister, since Master Jingyin said so, let's just listen and do as he says."

"Let's go, stop looking at it and go back to the portrait in the Master's Hall!"

"Oh, okay then." The eldest sister nodded, turned around and looked at the blooming oleanders, muttering, "Such beautiful divine flowers, why can't we get closer?"

Jingyin followed the brother and sister back to the Master's Hall and took the bowls, plates and food boxes before leaving.

"Brother, I didn't expect that this Shuijing Temple has so many treasures, sacred trees, sacred flowers, this is the first time I've heard of them, hehe." The eldest sister poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and was still thinking about the flowers and trees.

Wang Yugui smiled slightly but said nothing. The eldest sister frowned again and said, "However, the people in this nunnery are too stingy. They are afraid that we will pick the flowers, so they deliberately said that we can't get close to the sacred flowers. They also said that the gods will punish us and it might be harmful to our health."

"Humph, who are you trying to scare? How can you not get close to such a beautiful flower? I have never heard of any flower that is harmful to the body!"

"Stupid! Ignorant!" Wang Yugui looked at his elder sister and shook his head.

The eldest sister stared at Wang Yugui with wide eyes: "Brother, are you talking about me?"

"Yes, I'm talking about you!" Wang Yugui nodded, then shook his head: "You, you are judging others by your own standards!"

Then, he said to his elder sister seriously, "Master Nianshan is right. We really can't get close to that magical flower."

"Because the flower is poisonous. Not only the flower, but also the branches and leaves are poisonous."

"Don't go picking flowers for fun, you hear me!"

The eldest sister was surprised after hearing this: "Ah? Really? Brother, how did you know? Have you seen that magical flower before?"

"Ahem, ahem, I read this in a book once. Just remember, don't get close to that flower, and don't tell anyone." Wang Yugui coughed twice and said seriously.

Big sister would doubt what Master Nianshan said, but she believed what Wang Yugui said without a doubt and nodded quickly: "Okay, brother, I understand!"

Then he asked, "Then, is the sacred tree Tyrant Tree also poisonous?"

"The king of thorns tree is not poisonous, but it has many thorns that can prick people," Wang Yugui smiled.

The eldest sister nodded and said, "No wonder Master Jingyin called it the guard tree."

"If a thief climbs over the wall and comes in, he will fall right into the bushes."

"Oh my, that would make the thief scream loudly, haha..."

The eldest sister imagined the thief rolling over with his head in his hands due to the thorns and burst into laughter.

Wang Yugui also laughed: "Haha, that's enough to make the thief drink a pot of water!"

"Hey, brother, that magic flower is poisonous. Will it kill people?" the eldest sister suddenly asked.

Wang Yugui nodded: "Maybe!"

"Ah, isn't it too cruel for the nunnery to use this magical flower to protect the temple? Someone might die!" The eldest sister frowned.

Wang Yugui thought for a while and said, "That's not the case. Think about it. If a thief climbs over the wall, he will fall into the Typhus tree bushes first."

"Then you can get close to the sacred flower. Usually, when the thief falls into the bushes and screams from the thorns, the people in the nunnery will have already spotted the thief."

"Besides, there is no way a thief who climbed over the wall into a nunnery would be a good person. He deserves to be poisoned to death or injured!"

"Well, brother, now that you mention it, that's right. We should be tougher on those thieves." The eldest sister nodded.

Wang Yugui continued painting for a while, and seeing that the time was almost up, he called it a day and prepared to go down the mountain and go home.

Before leaving, he asked his eldest sister to go to the front room to call Jingyin, and told Jingyin to lock the door of the master's hall before leaving Shuijing Temple with his eldest sister.
