Chen Pingan first went to the villa owned by Cui Dongshan. At the door, Li Baoping asked if Pei Qian could sleep with her at night. Chen Pingan said that as long as Pei Qian agreed.
Li Baoping also asked if he could give or lend Pei Qian the narrow sword auspicious talisman and silver gourd, so that Pei Qian could move around the world more magnificently.
Chen Pingan said with a smile that there is no need to give such expensive gifts to Pei Qian for the time being. He, as a master, will prepare all the luggage and luggage for Pei Qian to travel in the world. Besides, it should not be too eye-catching for the first time.
It's good if the mount is a little donkey, the sword looks similar to the auspicious talisman, Stop Snow, and the sword is Chixin, it's not bad either.
Li Baoping still felt a little regretful.
He waved goodbye to his uncle and ran away carrying the small green bamboo box.
Without waiting for Chen Ping'an to knock on the door, he gently opened the courtyard door to thank him.
Chen Pingan smiled and asked, "Isn't it inconvenient?"
Thank you for shaking your head and making way.
After all, my impression of Chen Ping'an is much better than that of Yu Lu.
Besides, he is still the "own son". Thank you for not neglecting him, otherwise she will be the one who suffers in the end.
He looked at Chen Ping'an openly for a few times, thanked him and said, "I only heard about the eighteenth change of female college students. Why have you changed so much?"
Chen Pingan entered the courtyard, thanked him for a moment, hesitated, and closed the door. At the same time, he also laughed at himself. With his unsightly appearance, even if Chen Pingan lost his mind and went crazy, he could still eat it, so that's what he was capable of.
What's more, Xie Xie knew exactly what kind of person Chen Pingan was. She never felt that the two of them were the same person, let alone falling in love at first sight, but she didn't hate him, that's all.
Just like how the world looks at calligraphy, whether they prefer hearty cursive scripts or regular regular scripts is just personal taste and there is no distinction between them.
Rather than not wanting to see Yu Lu, Xie Xie was more polite and tolerant towards Chen Ping'an. He took the initiative to point to the green bamboo corridor outside the house, "No need to take off your shoes, it is the Xianjia green bamboo that is a specialty of Qingxiaodu in the Sui Dynasty. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. It is suitable for monks to meditate."
, before the young master left, he asked me to send a message to Lin Shouyi that he could come here to practice the Thunder Technique, but I felt that Lin Shouyi would not agree, so I did not go and ask for trouble."
Chen Pingan still took off the pair of boots that Pei Qian bought secretly in Hu'er Town and finally gave them to himself.
Sitting cross-legged on the really comfortable green bamboo floor, he turned his wrist and took out a pot of Shuijing Xianren Brewing bought from Fengwei Ferry, and asked, "Would you like to drink it? It's just a local brew."
Not far away, sitting diagonally - thank you and nod on the steps.
Chen Pingan gently threw the wine bottle away.
Xie Xie took the wine bottle, opened it and smelled it, "It's actually pretty good. It's worthy of being taken out of Fangcunwu."
Thank you for not being in a hurry to drink, and asked with a smile: "That robe you are wearing is a robe, right? Because we are in this courtyard, I can detect the flow of its spiritual energy."
Chen Pingan nodded, "The robe is called Jin Li. I got it by chance at a place called Jiaolonggou on the way to Daoxuan Mountain."
Xie turned his head and looked towards the courtyard gate with complicated eyes and murmured: "Then you are really lucky."
Chen Ping'an hummed, took off the sword-raising gourd, and took a sip of wine.
Xie Xie said with a smile: "You really know how to drink. This trip to the world was not in vain."
Chen Pingan pretended not to hear and reached out to touch the bamboo floor. The spiritual energy flowed like a thin stream of water. Although it was not as good as the first-class Xianjia mansion, Dongtian, it was already comparable to the best houses in the Xianjia inn of the secular dynasty.
The spiritual energy contained is more abundant.
The world is lonely.
Thank you and said to yourself: "The stars are dotted with lights in all directions, and there is a Milky Way in the middle of the water. Do you want to relieve the heat? The fairy family's thatched cottage is so cool."
Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "Which literary giant from your Lu family wrote it?"
Xie shook his head slowly, "A long time ago, on a night like this, my master recited a paragraph casually, without beginning or end. She said the lyrics were 'poems', just a small passage, the same as calligraphy and chess, not worth a word.
carry."
Chen Ping'an said: "At Daixuanshan Lingzhi Zhai, I originally prepared a gift for you and Lin Shouyi. At that time, I mistakenly thought that your share was just a pair of dilapidated nectar armor that could not be repaired, so I bought it at a very low price.
, and later I found out that it was one of the eight ancestors of the god Cheng Lujia, Jiawan, and it was repaired by a friend. After meeting Cui Dongshan in Qingluan Kingdom, regarding this matter, Cui Dongshan said not to give you such a gift.
Expensive things may be misunderstood by you if your friendship is not that good. I think it makes sense, so I just thought it would be a big deal and save it for now. One day we become real friends and it won’t be too late to give it to you.
.So I’ll give you this first today, and then.”
Xie turned his head and stretched out his hand to catch a small, exquisitely carved suet-fat jade piece, which was a white cow holding Ganoderma lucidum.
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "It was a small gift given by Ganoderma lucidum in Daixuanshan at that time. Don't dislike it."
Xie Xie smiled and said: "Are you implying to me that as long as I become friends with you, Chen Ping'an, I can get a priceless military weapon?"
Chen Pingan smiled and said nothing.
Xie Xie held the jade handle with a warm and delicate texture and said to herself: "You are not such a person."
Chen Pingan raised the sword gourd and suppressed his laughter, "Thank you."
Xie Xie glanced at Chen Ping'an and said, "Hey, I've only been away for a few years, and you've learned to be glib? It's been three days since we've been apart, so you should treat me with admiration."
Chen Ping'an put his sword gourd on his waist, wrapped his sleeves with his hands, and said with emotion: "That time Li Huai was bullied by outsiders, you, Lin Shouyi and Yu Lu were all very upright. After I heard about it, I was really happy.
So I told you about the matter of Manna Jia Xiyue, not to show off to you, but because I really hope that one day, I can become friends with you. I actually have selfish motives, even if we can't be friends, I still hope that you can
If I can become good friends with Xiao Baoping and Li Huai, I can take care of them more in the academy in the future."
There was another reason that Chen Ping'an couldn't explain.
No matter how many twists and turns there are, Chen Ping'an is now Cui Dongshan's nominal husband after all, and he is highly suspected of being indisciplined.
Cui Dongshan took Xie Xie as his personal maid, no matter how you look at it, he was harming Xie Xie, the monastic genius who was once the Lu Dynasty.
It’s just that things in the world are complicated, and many seemingly well-intentioned wishful thinking can actually lead to bad things.
Don’t touch other people’s scars and live in peace.
As soon as it was opened, blood dripped.
Chen Pingan was sitting at the bottom of the steps, wearing boots.
Xie said softly: "I won't give it away."
Chen Pingan waved his hand, "No need."
After Chen Ping'an left, Xie Xie covered his mouth and smiled for no reason.
I don't know why, but I always feel like that person is like a sneaky cat, sneaking home in the middle of the night to avoid the tigress in the house getting angry.
Of course this is just a very strange idea.
A woman's heart is a needle in the sea.
It can only mean that thank you and I feel good now.
Xie raised his hand and raised the white cow holding the Ganoderma lucidum jade handle high.
Pretty good looking.
Chen Pingan came to this academy's best geomantic omen, and Yu Lu lived alone in the dormitory. Although the lights in the house were turned off at the moment, Chen Pingan knocked on the door without hesitation.
Yu Lu quickly opened the door casually with his boots on, and said with a smile: "Rare visitors, rare visitors."
Yu Lu took the lead to turn around and light the lamp. Chen Pingan helped close the door and the two sat across from each other.
In Yu Lu's house, except for some objects that had been prepared for the academy students for a long time, there was nothing else.
This is Yu Lu.
It seemed like there was no worries in my mind.
As the crown prince of a great dynasty, after the fall of the country, he still remained indifferent to the world. Even when faced with Cui Dongshan, one of the culprits, he did not express gratitude with deep hatred.
In this regard, Yu Lu is somewhat similar to Zhu Lian, a martial arts madman who came from a wealthy family.
When Chen Ping'an was on his way to the Great Sui Academy, he and Yu Lu usually took turns to watch the night, one in the first half of the night and the other in the second half of the night. If the person who kept watch in the first half of the night was not sleepy and sat by the campfire, it actually didn't matter.
The conversation was easy to talk about. Chen Pingan often practiced setting up the sword stove or walking the six-step pile. If he was setting up the pile, Yu Lu would just mind his own business. If he was walking the pile, Yu Lu would just watch for a while.
Yu Lu doesn't drink.
Chen Ping'an didn't drink either.
He gave Yu Lu the fairy book "Shan Hai Zhi" that he also bought from Daixuan Mountain.
Yu Lu naturally thanked him and said that he was very poor and had no gifts to give, so he had no choice but to send Chen Pingan to the door of the school.
After Chen Pingan left.
Yu Lu gently closed the door.
Continue to "walk" in the dark room with your eyes closed, loosen and clench your fists, and repeat.
When Yu Lu was practicing boxing, Xie also sat on the green bamboo corridor and practiced diligently.
Lin Shouyi was not surprised when he saw Chen Pingan.
In fact, he had known about Chen Pingan's arrival before, but after hesitation, he did not take the initiative to go to the guest house to find Chen Pingan.
Chen Ping'an sent the incomplete copy of Lei Fa Dao Shu from Lingzhizhai. There was a written note at the time, "The only copy in the world, if it is not missing dozens of pages, it is priceless."
Lin Shouyi did not refuse.
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Thank you for letting me send you a message. If you don't mind, please go to her place for daily practice."
Lin Shou thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I will go as long as I am free during the day."
Chen Ping'an didn't stay long. He hadn't sat down on the hot bench yet, and after less than half a stick of incense, he was about to leave. Before opening the door, Lin Shouyi was obviously practicing a breathing technique on a futon.
Lin Shouyi suddenly smiled and asked: "Chen Pingan, do you know why I am willing to accept such an expensive gift?"
Chen Ping'an stopped, turned around and asked, "How do you say it?"
Lin Shouyi, who never left anyone alone in the school building, walked to the table for the first time, poured two cups of tea, and Chen Ping'an turned back and sat down.
Lin Shouyi, who has become a handsome young man, was silent for a moment and said: "I know that I will definitely reciprocate more generously in the future."
Chen Pingan smiled and nodded.
Sure enough, nothing has changed, this guy still has the same cold temperament.
Lin Shou turned his head and looked at the bamboo box, the corners of his mouth raised, "Besides, there is one thing I am very grateful to you for. Guess what."
You have already made such an action, what are you guessing? Chen Pingan said helplessly: "Isn't it just a bamboo box as a gift to you? Although it is made of bamboo transplanted from Qingshen Mountain on my Qidun Mountain.
It’s done, but to be honest, it’s definitely not as good as the current Lei Fa Dao Book.”
Lin Shouyi smiled and shook his head, "Guess again."
Chen Ping'an recalled that trip and asked tentatively: "That time you stayed in an inn?"
Lin Shouyi still shook his head, laughed heartily, stood up and started chasing people away, jokingly saying: "Don't delay my practice just because you gave me a gift."
Chen Pingan left the school building confused.
I met three people and did not return the same way.
After delivering the gifts half an hour earlier than expected, Chen Ping'an took a slightly detour and walked in the quiet part of the Cliff Academy.
Just as he was passing by the guest house, Chen Pingan saw Li Huai alone and ran over furtively.
Seeing Chen Pingan, Li Huai quickened his pace and said hurriedly: "Chen Pingan, I'm just here to ask you a question, otherwise I won't be able to sleep."
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "About Pei Qian? Just ask."
Li Huai asked in a low voice: "At first I thought it was Pei Qian who was bragging, but the more I listened, the more I realized that Pei Qian was great. Chen Ping'an, tell me the truth from the bottom of your heart. Pei Qian is really a homeless person."
Your Royal Highness, the folk princess?"
Chen Ping'an could completely imagine that when Pei Qian was telling this lie, she had a straight face and was secretly happy in her heart. She might even laugh at Li Huai and the other two, whether they were stupid or not for believing this.
Not to mention Li Huai, in Hu'er Town on the border of Daquan, even the three experienced police officers in the town were able to frighten the nonsense Pei Qian. Li Huai, Liu Guan, and Ma Lian, the three big boys, failed.
Weird recruitment.
It's just an innocent teasing between these children. Chen Ping'an has no intention of ruining the situation and will not expose Pei Qian's bragging in front of Li Huai.
Chen Pingan patted Li Huai on the shoulder and said, "Guess for yourself."
Li Huai nodded vigorously and said suddenly: "Then I understand!"
Chen Pingan smiled and asked: "What do you know?"
Li Huai crossed his arms across his chest and rubbed his chin with one hand, "No wonder this little Heitan saw my painted puppet with a disgusted expression on his face. No, I have to compare my wealth with her tomorrow. Experts can help me win."
Momentum! Let’s see who has more babies then! What’s wrong with Her Royal Highness, isn’t she just a charcoal little brat? What’s so great about it? Tsk tsk, at such a young age, she’s carrying a bamboo sword and a bamboo sword, who are you trying to scare... Yes
Okay, Chen Pingan, what does Your Highness the Princess like to eat?"
Chen Ping'an stretched out his hand to hold Li Huai's head, and gently twisted it towards his school building, "Go back and sleep quickly."
Li Huai asked the question and was satisfied, so he turned around and ran back to his school.
Not long after, an angry shout came from afar.
Needless to say, Li Huai must have been caught by the night watchman.
Chen Ping'an was just about to go to rescue Li Huai when he soon saw Li Huai walking swaggering, followed by Zhu Lian.
It turned out that Zhu Lian had already made an excuse, saying that he was a distant relative of Li Huai who didn't know the way at night and asked Li Huai to help him return to the guest house.
Li Huai stretched out his thumb and said to Chen Pingan: "Brother Zhu is really loyal! Chen Pingan, you are really lucky to have such a housekeeper."
Then Li Huai turned to look at the rickety old man with a smile, "Brother Zhu, if Chen Pingan treats you badly in the future, come to me, Li Huai, and I will help you seek justice."
Zhu Lian looked left and right. This boy named Li Huai had a tiger-like head and a tough brain. He really didn't look like a good scholar.
Zheng Dafeng, Li Er, Li Baozhen, Li Baoping.
It's rare to meet someone who comes out of Lizhu Cave without being a freak.
Zhu Lian felt that he needed to be cherished, so he suddenly felt that this little guy Li Huai was much more pleasing to his eyes, so he became more kind-hearted.
Wait a minute, this Li Huai looks a bit like the ten-level warrior who came to visit in Old Dragon City. Li Er and Li Huai both have the surname Li. Could it be that they are the same family?
Only as a pure martial artist can I best understand the terror of a great master of the end.
No matter how conceited Zhu Lian was about his martial arts talent, he could only dare to say that if he was born and raised in Haoran, and his talent remained unchanged, it would not be difficult to reach the top of the mountain in the ninth realm in his lifetime, and it would be impossible to reach the tenth realm in his lifetime.
Zhu Lian turned his head and looked at Chen Pingan with questioning eyes.
Chen Pingan smiled and nodded.
Zhu Lian was so angry that he kicked Li Huai lightly on the butt, "You're still wandering around like a lonely ghost in the middle of the night, so get out of here."
Li Huai was startled. After running out, he pointed at Zhu Lian from a distance and said, "Help me once, give me a kick, and we will settle our grudges. If we meet again in the academy tomorrow, whoever runs away first will be the boss."
!”
Zhu Lian made a motion of raising his feet.
Li Huai soon disappeared without a trace.
Over there at Li Baoping Academy.
Li Baoping and Pei Qian were copying books at the same table, sitting opposite each other.
One stroke flies like a fly.
A turtle crawls.
Every time Li Baoping finished copying a piece of paper, he would shout "Go away", then put down the brush, twist his wrist, and come to Pei Qian to take a look.
Pei Qian was silent and sweating profusely.
In the city of Qizhou, adjacent to the capital during the Great Sui Dynasty, the Cai family's residence had just moved there not long ago, and a distinguished guest of "extremely seniority" came.
It was at Cliff Academy that Cui Dongshan earned himself the nickname "ancestor of the Cai family" by relying on the numerous magic weapons contained in a very close object.
In the middle of the night, the boy in white beat the door of Cai's house hard, making a loud noise, and shouted: "Little Cai'er, little Cai'er, come and open the door!"
A handsome young man with a red mole on his forehead was followed by a short and strong man, and there was an ox beside him.
The old Sui deity of the Cai family who once stationed near the Cliff Academy walked out of the secret room with a livid face, stood up in the yard, and landed on the street outside the gate of his house, "Cui, what are you doing here?!"
Back then, Cui Dongshan and Cai Jingshen had a soul-stirring battle in the sky above what the people of the Sui Dynasty capital called "Xiaodong Mountain".
Cui Dongshan became famous in one battle, and it was like he held a fireworks feast for the people of the capital for free. I don't know how many people in the capital looked up at the Donghua Mountain of the academy that night, and they were very happy to see it.
Because there was an ancestor of the Nascent Soul Earth Immortal who served as the Dinghai Divine Needle, the Cai family, which was originally very prestigious in the capital, soon moved out of the capital, leaving only one family member who was an official in the capital, guarding such a large building.
Not inferior to a prince's house.
Cui Dongshan laughed and said: "Jingshen, you are so polite and go out to greet me personally? Let's go and sit at our house. It's late to enter the city, and there is a night ban. I'm starving, so hurry up and ask someone
Let’s make a late-night snack and let us grandpa and grandson have a good chat.”
Cai Jingshen said with a dark face: "You are not welcome here."
Cui Dongshan suddenly pointed at Cai Jingshen, jumped to his feet and cursed: "You have no shame in your grandson who doesn't recognize your ancestors, right? Come on, come on, let's fight again, this time if you can withstand my fifty magic weapons
, if I call you ancestor instead, if you can’t hold on, you will start riding a horse and parade through the streets in broad daylight tomorrow, calling yourself my Cui Dongshan’s good grandson a thousand times!”
Cai Jingshen gritted his teeth and said: "A scholar cannot be killed but cannot be humiliated. Either you beat me to death tonight, otherwise you will never even set foot in my Cai family!"
Cui Dongshan flashed away and used magical powers that shrunk the earth to an inch. It seemed ordinary, but in fact it was very different from the ordinary Taoist tradition. Cui Dongshan flashed back again and returned to the same place, "What do you mean? You want to
Don't you wipe your own neck and kill yourself? You are unfilial as a grandson, but I, as an ancestor, cannot deny you, so I can lend you some sharp magic weapons to prevent you from committing suicide by saying that you don't have any weapons..."
The guy kept chattering.
The burly old man was so angry that his entire Dantian was filled with energy. He stirred up trouble and his momentum skyrocketed.
Cui Dongshan suddenly stopped smiling, narrowed his eyes, and said sadly: "Little bastard, you probably think that in the battle at Donghua Mountain, our ancestors occupied the right time and place in the academy, so they lost unjustly, right?"
Cai Jing's heart was filled with excitement. Just when the battle of life and death was imminent, he was horrified to find that the pupils in Cui Dongshan's eyes were actually erect and emitted a dazzling golden light.
Cai Jingshen seemed to be targeted by an ancient dragon making trouble.
Like a awn on the back.
Cai Jingshen quickly calmed down his momentum, stretched out a palm, and said in a deep voice: "Please!"
The old concierge, who was hiding in the crack of the door to watch people, opened the door tremblingly from his sleepy eyes at first, to his cold hands and feet, to now as if he was mourning for a concubine.
Cui Dongshan swaggered and took the lead in crossing the threshold.
Cai Jingshen followed closely behind.
Wei Xian and the ox also walked into the Cai family's mansion one after another.
After the concierge closed the door, he lamented in his heart. He finally escaped this plague. The ancestor showed his hand in the city and helped the governor to deal with a cunning river demon that caused trouble, and then re-established it in the local area.
The Cai family is majestic, but it has only been a few days of peace and tranquility, and it has come again. It is true that good people do not come and bad people do not come. I just hope that in the future, we will be harmonious and make money, and don't bother with it anymore.
Cui Dongshan was talking about asking for a late-night snack, and he had to show his sincerity. Cai Jingshen endured it and asked the pure martial artist named Wei for a jar of the most expensive wine in the city. Forbearance, even the little Longmen realm scalper monster
, they all have to live in a house with a separate courtyard in the Cai family. Cai Jingshen couldn't bear it... and he couldn't bear it.
Cai Jingshen stretched out his hand to disperse the two maids in the palace who were full of curiosity. No one else was present, and asked: "What on earth are you going to do? Just do it better!"
Cui Dongshan stepped on the chair with one foot, held a wine pot in the other hand, and the chopsticks were flying with the other hand. He devoured the delicious food and wine without missing a beat, and said vaguely: "You have been a local snake in the Sui capital for more than a hundred years. How can you be with me?"
Let’s talk about the idiots who are planning the assassination. Who are the masterminds behind the assassination? Cavalry General Tang Zhuangshan, Right Minister of War Tao Jiu, and Longniu General Miao Ren. You don’t need to tell me, I know.
But you and I know very well that these guys are not the real masterminds behind this matter in your Sui temple and on the mountain. If you know a few, just name a few and let’s see.”
Cai Jingshen's eyelids trembled slightly.
Cui Dongshan threw away a piece of extremely delicious duck leg with secret sauce, licked his fingers, glanced sideways at Cai Jingshen, and said with a smile: "I allow you to name one person behind the scenes who is involved in this matter, and another one that has nothing to do with it at all.
The name could be a sworn enemy on the mountain that you have had a long-standing feud with, or it could be a casual member of the Gao family that you just don't like."
Cui Dongshan burped, "It will be effective until I finish this midnight snack. After I finish it, you Cai family will not have this chance. Maybe you are not clear about the descendants of the Gao family you left in the capital."
, Well, the Cai family’s scholar-student who works in the Imperial College is also one of the vanguard. Scholars, they don’t want to watch the Great Sui Dynasty sink and bow their heads to the barbarian Da Li. It is understandable that the Gao family has been raising scholars for hundreds of years and is willing to die.
I appreciate serving the country even more, but understanding and appreciation cannot be used as food, so Cai Jingshen, you can do whatever you want."
Cui Dongshan continued to eat and drink.
Cai Jingshen asked in a deep voice: "I want to know one thing first. Is Cai Feng really trapped in it?!"
Cui Dongshan sneered and said: "Cai Feng's literary character and lofty ambitions, do you need me to talk nonsense? Do you really think that I am the ancestor of your Cai family?"
Cai Jingshen's face was filled with pain.
Even though he was a Nascent Soul Earth Immortal who could look down upon the princes, he was one of the few great immortal families in the Sui Dynasty.
However, it is human nature to protect the family. The ancestors of the deceased can only rely on the mysterious and mysterious virtues. People like Cai Jingshen who practice well will of course know how to do it, not hindering their own practice, but also giving full support.
Those good seedlings who have the opportunity to support the family, as for those descendants, either take the civil and military career, or embark on the path of spiritual practice, it is their responsibility to honor the lintel and the ancestors.
In these more than a hundred years, the Cai family has only produced one Qi practitioner who is neither a high nor a low achiever. Even without Cai Jingshen’s guidance and a lot of immortal money, he is still stuck in the Cave Mansion realm, and his future is
limited.
Therefore, Cai Jingshen still placed his hopes more on Cai Feng, the second-ranked scholar. Even Cai Feng was promoted in the officialdom in the next fifty or sixty years. After his death, Cai Feng was awarded the honorary title of "Chen Zhen" from the emperor. Then the Yin Shen appeared in a certain place.
The Sui Dynasty imperial court took advantage of the situation and granted the city god of a certain county. It took more than a hundred years to manage and gradually promoted him to the city god of the state. Cai Jingshen had already prepared all these things. As long as Cai Feng followed the steps, he could reach a state.
The city god's high position as a god means that the manpower of a Nascent Soul Earth Immortal has been exhausted. From now on, Cai Feng can only rely on himself to fight for more great opportunities.
Feng shui changes in turns, thirty years from Hedong to thirty years from Hexi. It is difficult for ordinary people to grasp it. If you miss it once, you will never have another chance in your life. However, Qi practitioners are different. As long as you live long enough, Feng shui can always flow into your home. When the time comes,
You can use the secret methods of the fairy family to stay within your own house as much as possible and continue to accumulate wealth. Just like secular people accumulate gold and silver, one after another little incense people will be born.
Cai Jingshen never thought that Cai Feng, who had a bright future, would be so crazy that he would get involved in such a plan behind his back and the whole family's back.
Cui Dongshan gently put down his chopsticks. (https:)
