Skilled in managing a house

Longhu Mountain, Tianshi Mansion.

In the back hall, Master Zhang Tianshi was sitting cross-legged in the hall. On the left and right sides, there were more than ten Taoist priests wearing Bagua fairy clothes. Among these Taoist priests, the young ones are over thirty, and the older ones are over fifty.

Early this morning, Zhang Tianshi summoned the elites of the Tianshi Mansion to come here to discuss matters. The matter of discussion was naturally about the Tianyin Qin.

In this era, communications are extremely developed. Although Master Zhang and the others are going to come back today, the news was reported to Master Zhang last night.

After everyone arrived, Zhang Tianshi informed everyone about what Master Zhang said last night, and finally said: "Everyone, this is the situation. The Tianyin Qin was indeed lost at the Tao family, but it should not have been done by the Tao family, but someone colluded with it. That Tao Xi of the Tao family secretly changed things. But... the Tianyin Qin was lost after all. It is still unknown when it will be recovered. What do you think you should do..."

After saying this, Zhang Tianshi glanced at the people sitting next to him.

The person sitting next to him was an old Taoist in his fifties. The old Taoist was the first to say: "Tianshi, this matter is indeed a bit troublesome. If the Tao family is asked to compensate, the Tao family can indeed provide it with the same value as the Tianyin Qin. Magical weapon. However... I think this is a bad idea. The most important thing is to get the Tianyin Qin back as soon as possible and severely punish the person who stole the Tianyin Qin..."

Immediately afterwards, another middle-aged Taoist priest said: "Uncle Master is right...it's just...since that person was able to move the Tianyin Qin away, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to get the Tianyin Qin back." ’s... If it keeps dragging on like this, the matter will spread out, and our Tianshi Mansion will become a joke... So the disciple thinks that the Tao family should be asked to bring out a more valuable magic weapon as compensation. When will their Tao family Retrieve the Tianyin Qin, and when you find the person who stole the Tianyin Qin, use this to exchange at Tianshi Mansion..."

"Our Tianshi Mansion has always had a good relationship with the Tao family. If we do this, will it appear that our Tianshi Mansion is too stingy?" Another middle-aged Taoist priest said.

"But there is nothing we can do about it. I still agree with Ling Yuzi's proposal to ask the Tao family to hand over some magical artifacts as collateral. In any case, the Tianyin Qin was lost in their house after all. It cannot be said that it is lost. Throw it away. Their family will eventually show something. We don’t really care about the Tao family’s magical artifacts. Whenever they get the Tianyin Qin back, they will come to redeem it..." There was another middle-aged man below. The Taoist priest said.

…

These people all had status, but soon the back hall became lively, with everyone coming and going and arguing endlessly.

What they were arguing about was nothing more than these two points of view. Some people thought that it would be better not to let the Tao family use the magic weapon as a mortgage and to get the Tianyin Qin back as soon as possible. Another point of view is that the Tao family must use the magic weapon as collateral. The Tianyin Qin of our Tianshi Mansion is lost in your home. You can't just throw it away. Although the Tao family will try their best to find it, God knows when. , always puts some pressure on the Tao family.

Seeing everyone like this, Zhang Tianshi couldn't help but frown a little as he originally brainstormed in the hope of coming up with a good idea, but it turned into a debate because of these two points of view.

He finally couldn't bear it any longer and coughed twice, "Ahem..."

I have to say that his old man's cough was really effective, and the room in the back hall instantly became quiet.

Just as Zhang Tianshi was about to speak, his cell phone vibrated, "Buzz buzz... buzz buzz..."

"Whose phone number?" Zhang Tianshi said in a deep voice.

"It belongs to the disciple." Ling Renzi, who was sitting below, said quickly.

"Is there anything urgent?" Zhang Tianshi asked.

Ling Renzi immediately took out his mobile phone and said: "It's a call from a knowledgeable guest from the mountain gate. I guess someone came to pay homage to the mountain..."

Tianshi Mansion is not only a Taoist holy land, but also a tourist attraction. There is an endless stream of people visiting Tianshi Mansion every day.

Of course, if tourists come, even if something happens, Zhike will not call Ling Renzi, and someone else will handle it. Unless people from various sects come to worship the mountain, they will call him.

"Ask who it is first." Zhang Tianshi said gently.

Paying homage to the mountain is always a big event, but if there are any distinguished guests coming to visit, they will be neglected here, and the etiquette really cannot be justified. What I know is that there is something going on in your Tianshi Mansion, but those who don’t know think it’s just putting on airs.

"Yes, Heavenly Master." Ling Renzi answered immediately and said: "Infinite Heavenly Lord... is from Wudang Taoist Temple... Oh, oh... I understand... Wait a moment over there..."

After hanging up the phone, Ling Renzi immediately said: "To the heavenly master, it is Zhao Qiuju who is not a Taoist temple and brought a group of foreign Taoist priests to come to worship at the mountain. It is said to be from the Sanqing Temple in England, and the temple leader John Brown led the crowd... "

"This Zhang Yu is very inexplicable..." Zhang Tianshi said, but he became thoughtful.

"Zhang Yu's actions are always a bit unexpected... but my disciples thought that this time people from overseas Taoist sects came to worship the mountain... We can't be indifferent..." Ling Renzi said.

Zhang Tianshi nodded and said: "That's right... You will be responsible for going down the mountain to receive them. Don't neglect them. By the way, ask them what their purpose is..."

"Disciple understands, I will resign now." Ling Renzi said.

After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the entrance of the palace.

After Ling Renzi left, Master Zhang glanced at everyone present and said, "Besides the two suggestions just now, do you have any other ideas?"

The Taoist priests looked at each other. To be honest, it seemed that apart from these two options, there was no other decent solution.

However, there was also a middle-aged Taoist priest who said: "Tianshi, didn't Uncle Zhenyizi and the others come back today... In addition, the Tao family should also give our Tianshi Mansion an explanation... I think it is better to wait for Uncle Zhenyi first When they come back, they will listen to the Tao family's statement and finally make a decision..."

Zhang Tianshi also saw that he really couldn't think of a good way to deal with this matter, so he nodded and said: "Okay, let's wait until they come back first before making any fuss. You all go and do your work. After Zhen Yizi and the others come back, , let them come here to see me immediately.”

"Yes, Heavenly Master." "Yes, Heavenly Master."... Everyone immediately agreed.

The Taoist priests immediately stood up and left, leaving only Master Zhang Tianshi in the back hall.

Zhang Tianshi also frowned secretly. In thousands of years, he had never heard of anyone daring to steal things from the Tianshi Mansion. This time is great, my claws have reached the Tianshi Mansion. Although it is just a Tianyin Qin, it represents the face of Tianshi Mansion. If not handled properly, the impact on Tianshi Mansion will be considerable.

Time passed little by little. Zhang Tianshi did not go to the dining hall to have lunch, but ate in the back hall. At four o'clock in the afternoon, news came that Zhang Zhenren, Zhang Yu, Zhen Yizi and his party were back.

Zhang Tianshi immediately met with everyone, but because no one from the Tao family arrived today, after the meeting, he only briefly understood the situation and asked everyone to go back to rest.
