It would be better to finish reading it sooner so that this problem can be solved sooner.
Lin Xi: "If it's convenient, please take me around every room."
In fact, Lin Xi felt something was strange when he first saw this store.
The location of this store is actually quite good.
Generally speaking, to make a shop popular, it needs to pay attention to the three flows, which refer to the flow of water, the flow of people and the flow of vehicles.
Not to mention the pedestrian and vehicle traffic on this street, the water flow is also very good because there is a moat planned by the government not far away. Therefore, the three streams converge, and the shops on this street are doing very well.
When choosing a location for a shop, in addition to considering the surrounding environment, it is generally necessary to choose an area with an open front, and try to avoid being blocked by high walls, large billboards or giant trees.
In Feng Shui, it is to prevent the heat and wealth from being blocked from entering. In a popular sense, the store will be blocked by these things, and passers-by will naturally ignore the store because of these obstacles.
There is nothing blocking the entrance of this store, the view is wide, and the lobby is spacious and square. Logically speaking, it should be a prosperous store.
But Lin Xi just glanced into the store and found that there were only a few tables of customers sitting sparsely in the store, which was far from being bustling with people and guests.
Moreover, considering what the old lady said before about the frequent problems in the store, it seems that this is inconsistent with the feng shui of the store's location.
And she did not find any negative or evil energy in the hotel lobby.
From this, it can be seen that either it was not those evil creatures causing trouble, or they were hidden in the room and were very hidden, so Lin Xi could not detect them from the outside.
The old lady nodded: "Okay, Master, please follow me."
Apart from its very good location, this store is actually no different from other stores. The first floor is the restaurant and kitchen, and the cashier is outside the kitchen glass window. Then there is a small staircase near the right wall. There is a toilet under the stairs, and going up the stairs is the attic.
The attic is not big, with a small room and a bathroom on it, which is where the old lady's son and daughter-in-law take a rest at noon.
The old couple took Lin Xi to check out several rooms one by one, even the kitchen, but Lin Xi still didn't find anything evil.
At this point, even Lin Xi himself felt strange.
She stood in front of the small window of the attic on the second floor, wanting to see if anything had happened outside, but suddenly noticed the flower bed in front of the store.
Looking around, the flower beds in front of this store and the two stores on its left and right are connected. They are similar to rectangular flower beds, more than ten meters long, with some flowers and plants about the height of an adult's knees planted in them.
There are several shops separated by some distance, and at the door of each house there is a circular flower bed with a diameter of about one meter.
Lin Xi asked the old couple next to him.
"Why are there round and square flower beds in front of the store? Is there some significance to this?"
The old lady was stunned, and it seemed that she had just noticed this detail.
She had only come a few times before when the store was being renovated, and she rarely came after that. After all, the store was some distance away from home, and it was quite troublesome for the old couple to run back and forth.
The few times they came before, they were only concerned with looking at the decoration inside the store, and interacting with the merchants on both sides to get to know them. They didn't really care that the flower beds in front of their store were different from those in front of other stores.
The old lady quickly said, "I don't know. It seemed to be like this when we came here. Master, could it be that the accidents in my son's shop are related to the flower bed?"
Lin Xi: "Not necessarily. I'm just a little curious. Look at the flower beds in front of other stores. They're all round, but your three are different."
Generally speaking, the flower beds in front of shops belong to the scope of municipal construction. Since they are planned by the government, they must choose a similar shape. It doesn't make sense that the others are all round flower beds, but the flower beds in front of these three shops are connected rectangular flower beds.
After hearing what Lin Xi said, the old lady also felt a little strange.
"I'll go ask next door."
After saying that, Mrs. Lin Xi hurried downstairs to the next room, and Lin Xi followed her.
There is a small supermarket next door. The owner is a plump woman who is very friendly.
Seeing the old lady coming over, she even took the initiative to say hello.
"Hey, big sister, you're here."
The old lady smiled at her, exchanged a few simple greetings, and then asked her why that flower bed was different from the other flower beds.
Hearing this, the amiable woman's smile paused slightly.
"Why are you asking this, big sister?"
The old lady didn't notice and just said vaguely, "I just feel that the flower bed in front of our door is different from others. There must be a reason."
The shopkeeper refused to elaborate, saying, "It's nothing serious. The construction team came over and found the terrain unsuitable, so they connected the three flower beds together to create a rectangular shape."
"You should ask your ex-husband for the details. He's sure to know more. I'm going to be busy now."
After saying that, the proprietress went to tidy up the shelves.
The old lady was stunned.
Go ask the original room?
Why is it so mysterious?
Lin Xi, who was behind, noticed something.
I'm afraid the proprietress knows something about the situation, but she doesn't want to get into trouble, so she didn't say anything.
But, the terrain is not suitable?
What kind of situation would allow the flower beds in front of the three shops to be built together?
Lin Xi held his breath and concentrated his mind, mobilizing his spiritual power to focus on his eyes.
When she looked at the flower bed again, she saw not only the flower bed and the flowers and plants in it, but also the situation at the bottom of the flower bed.
She actually discovered a faint green light at the bottom of the flower bed!
After investigating carefully for a while, Lin Xi finally understood what was happening in the old lady's son's shop.
It happened that at this time the old lady had already called her former roommate.
When Yuan Fang sold the shop to them, he said that he was in a hurry to sell it because he was going to go out of town, so the price was not high. He was also very straightforward, and the old lady and her family all had a very good impression of him.
They even thought they had gotten a great bargain by buying the shop at a price one hundred thousand lower than the market price. At that time, they were very grateful to the original owner and were afraid that he would change his mind and not sell it, so they quickly gathered the money and transferred it to him.
After that, nothing happened in the store after it was renovated and reopened, and they never disturbed the original house again.
Things started happening frequently in the shop, and they thought it was just a coincidence at first, but later they found that the weird things were happening more and more, as if they were cursed. They also thought about contacting the original owner to ask about the situation.
However, after calling the original landlord to ask, the other party said they knew nothing about it and said that they had not encountered any strange phenomena when they lived there before.
The old lady and her family didn't know whether what he said was true or not, so they could only give up and decided to find a master to check the situation first.
As soon as the phone was connected, the old lady asked directly about the situation of the flower bed.
Yuan Fang㹏 was stunned for a moment, then quickly asked what happened to the flower bed, his tone a little flustered.
The old lady explained: "Why is the flower bed in front of our store different from those in front of other stores? Boss, you must know why. Tell us!"
"I don't know either. This time it was all the government's fault. We can't stop them from making it into any shape. If you want to know, go ask the government."
No matter how slow-witted the old lady was, she realized that he was just trying to shirk responsibility.
Even if this flower bed was built by the government, as the shop owner, she didn't believe that he didn't know the situation.
He is hiding the truth and not going to tell them!
Just when the old lady was so angry that she wanted to curse, Lin Xi gestured to her to hand over the phone.
The old lady immediately handed over the phone, and then heard Lin Xi say to Yuan Fangyu on the other end of the line: "Sir, do you think that if you sell the store and leave here, the trouble will stop? I guess your family has been a bit restless lately."
There was silence on the other end of the line for a moment, and then a panicked voice was heard.
"You, how do you know?"
Lin Xi said coldly, "That century-old tree has become a tree spirit. How could it not seek revenge on you if you cut it down? If you want to resolve this, come here now."
After saying that, Lin Xi hung up the phone.
The old couple next to him were completely dumbfounded.
What, what tree spirit?
Lin Xi turned to look at the rectangular flower bed and sighed, "There used to be a century-old tree growing in this flower bed. After a hundred years of growth, that tree is no longer an ordinary tree."
Although it has not yet reached the level of a monster, it has also gained spiritual energy.
The roots of the big trees in the fields are even more long and complex, firmly buried in the ground, several meters deep. It is difficult to cut off the roots in this situation, so in the end there will be rectangular flower beds that are more than ten meters long, just to completely cover the roots underneath.
The faint green light that Lin Xi saw under the flower bed before was the remaining spiritual energy of the ancient tree.
The ancient tree that had awakened its spiritual intelligence was cut down, so it was naturally unwilling to accept it, so it wanted to take revenge.
It took the old lady a long time to come back to her senses.
"So the things that happened in my son's shop were the old trees' revenge, but we didn't cut down the trees."
The old lady felt that they were really wronged.
This was indeed an unexpected disaster for the old lady and her family, but the ancient tree was not smart enough to accurately identify who "killed" it, so it could only subconsciously retaliate against the people in this store.
"What a commotion! That person knew exactly what was going on, yet he hid it from us. It's so infuriating!"
If they hadn't found Lin Xi to find out the truth, they would probably have remained in the dark.
"The spiritual energy of this ancient tree is gradually dissipating, and one of them has gone back to the original store. So, if you don't look for me, the strange situation in the store will gradually disappear."
Upon hearing this, the old lady quickly said, "Master, since you are here, please help us resolve this matter thoroughly, so that no other problems will arise later."
Although Lin Xi said that the strange phenomena would become less frequent and gradually disappear, they could not bear it any longer.
Lin Xi nodded.
"Okay, but the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. If we want to resolve it completely, we have to wait for the original store to come back."
The old lady was a little worried that he wouldn't come.
But Lin Xi knew that the other party would definitely come.
About forty minutes later, Yuan Dianqi appeared at the door of the store in a hurry.
At that time, the old lady had already told her son and daughter-in-law the whole story, and they were both very angry after hearing it.
