On the way back, I told Lu Zhe about what happened.
Lu Zhe had followed him in buying the old man's house, but he had always been doing things for money.
Most of them are there to help people catch ghosts or deal with evil spirits, but they rarely have the opportunity to handle these kinds of things.
After all, in the old man's opinion, such tasks were not profitable at all, so Lu Zhe had never been involved in them.
Now that Lin Xi has explained it to him, he suddenly understands.
"So keeping vigil at night isn't just about accompanying the deceased on their final journey; it also requires guarding against other things."
Lin Xi nodded.
At night, in addition to situations like Old Master Zhu's, where a black cat wanders into the funeral hall and then seeks to borrow the cat's life, in the past when ghosts and monsters were prevalent, it was also very easy for ghosts and monsters to come and cause trouble, stealing the incense offerings of the deceased.
However, there are fewer ghosts now, and most ghosts are quite timid these days, so they won't actively do anything to the living.
Therefore, this situation is quite rare.
Nowadays, most people keep vigil at night, probably for safety reasons.
For example, to prevent fires, or to prevent people from causing trouble at night when no one is around.
Lu Zhe felt enlightened after hearing this.
It seems he still has a lot to learn.
After Old Master Zhu's matter was resolved, a few more days passed.
During this time, Lin Xi stayed in the feng shui shop and wrote down all the folk tales and customs she could remember, so that Lu Zhe would have a chance to read and learn more.
Because she could tell that Lu Zhe seemed quite interested in this kind of thing.
Since we've already agreed to teach him, I'll pass on as much of what I know as possible.
When Lu Zhe received the booklet, he paused for a moment, then instead of giving Lin Xi a long thank you speech, he simply said thank you.
But Lin Xi could clearly sense that after that, Lu Zhe's attitude towards her became more respectful, and his sense of belonging to the Feng Shui Shop and the Tai Xuan Sect was also stronger.
To put it bluntly, Lu Zhe was essentially a "laborer" hired by Lin Xi.
After all, Lu Zhe only came to help at the feng shui shop because Lin Xi had helped him and he owed Lin Xi a favor, so he could only come and let Lin Xi do whatever she wanted for a while.
Even after being accepted as an outer disciple by Lin Xi, his heart remained restless.
It's as if he can leave the feng shui shop at any time once the debt of gratitude is repaid.
But when he saw Lin Xi hand him the booklet, his heart was deeply moved.
He realized that Lin Xi wasn't just after his "use value"; she genuinely wanted to accept him, care for him, and help him.
Then he would no longer stay at the feng shui shop with an attitude of being able to leave at any time.
Perhaps he could try to make this place his home.
......
Lin Xi noticed Lu Zhe's change, but she didn't point it out to avoid embarrassing him.
However, he was naturally satisfied with it.
After all, no one dislikes being treated sincerely by others.
Of course, most importantly, now that Lu Zhe's mindset has changed, he is more proactive in doing things.
In other words, they've become more proactive and attentive to their work.
Now that someone has arrived at the feng shui shop, Lin Xi doesn't even need to say anything; he takes the initiative to greet them and begins to inquire about their situation.
He only asks Lin Xi for help when he can't solve a problem himself.
Not only that, he also became more and more enthusiastic about learning.
Whenever he had free time, he would carefully study the booklet that Lin Xi had prepared for him, and if he encountered anything he didn't understand, he would ask Lin Xi for help as soon as possible.
Unlike before, when I was a little embarrassed to ask questions, or simply didn't ask them at all.
Everything is moving in a positive direction.
But for Lin Xi, the news was not good.
That means winter break is almost over.
Pleasant times are always fleeting.
Although Lin Xi has experienced the end of countless holidays, she still feels a sense of loss.
With only a few days left before school started, Lin Xi wanted to make the most of her time and have some fun.
But after thinking it over and over, she realized that she didn't seem to have any other hobbies besides playing on her phone.
No, there's also exploring food.
Although Lin Xi had already explored all the shops in the vicinity, who knows what new shops might open?
So Lin Xi decided to go out and see if any new stores had opened.
However, just as she was about to take action, two people suddenly appeared outside the feng shui shop.
Judging from their appearances, the people who came should be a mother and daughter.
The mother looked to be around forty years old, and the daughter looked to be around twenty.
Lu Zhe originally wanted to go up directly to ask what was going on, but Lin Xi raised her hand to stop him, indicating that she would handle the matter.
Mainly, she noticed that something was off about the girl.
Seeing this, Lu Zhe obediently retreated behind Lin Xi.
Lin Xi looked at the girl and asked directly.
"Is something wrong with your nose?"
Upon hearing this, the girl and her mother on the other side were immediately taken aback.
The two stared at Lin Xi with wide eyes, first in surprise, then with delight.
The girl's mother was so excited that her voice changed as she tightly held her daughter's hand and said...
"That's wonderful! Master Lin is just as amazing as I imagined! Jiaoyue, your nose is cured!"
Something's wrong with my nose?
Lu Zhe, standing to the side, looked at the girl's nose with suspicion, but found nothing unusual.
The girl has a very good nose, with a high and straight bridge and smooth lines; it's considered a very beautiful nose.
Moreover, her nose didn't look red or swollen, and judging from the girl's breathing, her nose didn't seem to be congested or blocked.
So what exactly is wrong with this nose?
Just as Lu Zhe was wondering, Lin Xi gave the answer.
Can't you smell anything anymore?
The girl and her mother were once again shocked by Lin Xi's words.
The two nodded quickly.
The girl's mother said anxiously.
"Yes, yes, Master Lin, my daughter's nose was fine before, but one day she suddenly couldn't smell anything!"
Lin Xi continued to look at the girl's nose, and asked thoughtfully.
"Before this, could she smell some scents that ordinary people couldn't?"
The girl's mother was now completely impressed.
Lin Xi actually saw through her daughter's nearly twenty-year-old secret after only looking at her for a short while.
