Chapter 265 Ji Xiaolan

Shi Yunju?
Lonely old man?

In the end, Dean Qiao also said that this person's surname is Ji, so isn't this the famous Ji Xiaolan with iron teeth and bronze teeth?

I didn't expect him to be a formation master, but there is nothing surprising about it. It is said in history that he has superb chess skills, and he has the Taoist name Guanqi Taoist. It is normal for a chess master to be proficient in formations.

……

In the depths of Ziyue Forest, Shi Yun lives.

Liu Yunfan did not expect that the famous Ji Xiaolan would live in seclusion in Ziyue Forest. There are often powerful spirit beasts in Ziyue Forest. Since he dares to live in seclusion here, it means that he is not only proficient in formations, but also not too weak in cultivation.

Liu Yunfan gently knocked on the door, and a little Taoist boy came out from Shiyun Residence.

Liu Yunfan asked, "Excuse me, little master, is Mr. Ji at home?"

Xiao Daotong replied: "Master, he is an old man. He has been waiting in the main room for a long time when he knows someone is coming. Sir, please come with me."

Hearing Xiaodaotong's answer, Liu Yunfan was startled, how could Mr. Ji know that I came to see him, and Dean Qiao didn't send anyone to notify him.

After thinking for a while, Liu Yunfan finally understood that when he was within ten miles of Shi Yunju, he felt something strange again, but he just didn't know what was going on.

Thinking about it now, Mr. Ji must have set up a formation around Shi Yunju, which can predict the people who enter this range in advance, and estimate whether the coming person is hostile. He can also judge through the formation.

Liu Yunfan followed Xiaodaotong into the main hall, and saw a kind old man sitting in the middle, with a Go board beside him, and the old man was playing against himself with chess pieces.

This old man had a peak cultivation in the late stage of alchemy, wore a pair of glasses, and his appearance was really unflattering, which could be considered ugly. Presumably this old man was the legendary Ji Xiaolan.

It seems that the records in the history books are really good. According to the records in the history books, Ji Xiaolan is "ugly and short-sighted".The so-called "sleeping" means ugly; the so-called "short-sighted" means short-sighted.

Legend has it that Emperor Qianlong was a beauty lover, and Nian Xiaolan was not reused because he was too ugly.

Emperor Qianlong's standards for the employment of close officials not only required these people to be alert, agile, smart and capable, but also handsome, young and beautiful.For example, He Shen, Wang Jie, Yu Minzhong, Dong Gao, Liang Guozhi, Fu Chang'an and others are among the best "beautiful men", so they are reused.

Not to mention Heshen's beauty, it is said that he looks very much like Yongzheng's concubine Ma Jiashi, and Ma Jiashi was the first love of Emperor Qianlong, so he became Qianlong's number one favorite.

And Ji Xiaolan was a book editor and a novel writer, so he couldn't be reused by Qianlong at all.

After Liu Yunfan sized up Ji Xiaolan for a while, Ji Xiaolan also slowly put down the chess piece, turned to look at him, with a satisfied look in his eyes.

Liu Yunfan asked respectfully: "Mr., are you Mr. Ji Xiaolan Ji?"

Hearing Liu Yunfan's question, Ji Xiaolan was also surprised. He didn't expect that someone would know his name was Ji Xiaolan, and Xiaolan was his name. After he came to the Soul Realm, he never mentioned it to anyone. He just said that his surname was Ji. No. Lone Stone Old Man.

"Yes, this is Ji Yun. I don't know who you are, my little brother. Did you also come from the world?" Ji Xiaolan asked after answering very smoothly.

Hearing Ji Xiaolan speak so smoothly, Liu Yunfan was also a little surprised. It seems that the legends are not all true.

A good friend of Ji Xiaolan's name is Zhu Gui. There was a poem describing Ji Xiaolan like this:
Zong Bocha in Hejian stuttered and was good at writing books.

Immersed in the four warehouses, the synopsis is recorded in thousands of volumes.

In this way, apart from being ugly, Ji Xiaolan also has a stuttering problem.

But listening to him now, there is no sign of stuttering at all, but it may have been corrected later. After all, a hundred years in the soul world is one day in the human world, and he has been here for tens of thousands of years. It is not normal to get rid of a stuttering problem.

"Mr. Ji, the junior Liu Yunfan, who graduated from the Haowei Practitioner Academy, also came from the human world. He is your descendant. I have admired your name for a long time, and I am here to visit you." Liu Yunfan replied respectfully.

After that, the two chatted a lot about the world, and they also talked about "Notes of Yuewei Thatched Cottage" written by Ji Xiaolan. Liu Yunfan highly praised it. "Different" is much stronger.

Pu Songling was Ji Xiaolan's predecessor who wrote strange novels. Hearing Liu Yunfan's praise, the relationship between the two of them immediately became closer. Sure enough, the good words were pleasant to hear, even the famous Ji University scholar was so fond of good words.

Afterwards, the two talked about a lot of facts and current situation about the Soul World. Although Ji Xiaolan lives in seclusion in the mountains, she is very proficient in the news from the outside world, and she has some understanding of the battle situation and people's livelihood in various parts of the Soul World.

From the lines in Ji Xiaolan's words, it can be heard that he is still concerned about the country and the people, and feels sad and distressed by the current situation of the soul world. He also wants to change this state and hopes for peace.

After talking for a long time, Liu Yunfan and Ji Xiaolan had almost become old friends, so he stated the purpose of this trip.

"Mr. Ji, this junior has one more thing to ask for this visit."

Although he already had friendship with Ji Xiaolan, Liu Yunfan still bowed deeply to Ji Xiaolan very respectfully to show his respect for his predecessors.

"Brother Xiaoliu, there is no need to be too polite. If there is anything we can ask for, we will call me Brother Ji directly from now on. If we have something to talk about, there is nothing we can ask for. As long as I can do it, I will never ask for it." shirk."

"Okay, then I will thank Brother Ji first. I know that you are proficient in formations, so I want Brother Ji to accompany me to the Mothfly Cold Realm and help me break the formation."

Hearing Liu Yunfan's words, Ji Xiaolan's pupils suddenly shrank, seemingly quite surprised.

Liu Yunfan thought that Ji Xiaolan was afraid, so he quickly explained: "Brother Ji, I know that the cold world is very dangerous, and it is recognized as a deadly place in the world of souls, but I have a pet, Xiaobai, who has the ability to predict danger in advance. As long as we Be careful when you go in, it’s not a problem to retreat completely.”

However, what he didn't expect was that Ji Xiaolan's surprise was not at all because he was afraid of going to the cold world, but because he didn't expect the young man in front of him to make such a decision that was almost fatal like him.

In fact, after Ji Xiaolan got the news that Longjiang wanted to exchange the Shengling Pill for peace, he had already decided that he volunteered to go to the Chilling World for a try so that no innocent people would suffer from the war in the Soul World.

So, after Liu Yunfan finished speaking, Ji Xiaolan replied firmly: "Okay!"

Liu Yunfan did not expect that it would be so easy to invite Ji Xiaolan out of the mountain.
