Chapter 81
Although he had rushed there in the fastest time, it was already late at night when Xu Xun arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Considering that the old man may have fallen asleep now, and it might be annoying to disturb him, he decided to hold back his curiosity and plan to wait until dawn tomorrow before going up the mountain.

However, to some surprise, when he got off the helicopter with his people, the subordinates of the local department had already greeted him.

"Mr. Xu, hello. I'm Yan Liangbi, the person in charge of this city."

The other party was also a young man in his early thirties, with a straight back, he looked like a retired soldier, and some calluses on his hands also showed that his skills were not weak.

Both parties are not people who like to socialize. After a simple greeting, they directly cut to the point.

Xu Xun looked at the rugged path up the mountain behind the other party: "I have seen the general situation on the plane, how is the current situation?"

Yan Liangbi replied bluntly: "The other party is very calm, and did not show any violence or escape because of our approach."

"Then let's wait until tomorrow morning." Xu Xun felt relieved.

But the other party shook his head.

"Minister, I think it is appropriate to go up now."

"We have sent people to follow the other party for a whole day, and found that the other party does not seem to need sleep. Apart from basic physiological needs such as eating and going to the toilet, it is very monotonous to meditate!"

"It's unbelievable to sit for more than ten hours without moving."

"And now we have received news that the other party has temporarily stopped meditating, but is watching the starry sky on the top of the mountain."

"Sure enough, he is not an ordinary person."

Xu Xun didn't delay any longer, and quickly walked up the mountain under the leadership of Yan Liangbi.

The mountain road here is very rugged, and it is impossible to drive up.

The only mountain road has been opened up by the villagers for a long time, which is very inconvenient for life, which is one of the reasons why the government is considering relocation.

After spending nearly half an hour, several people finally reached the top of the mountain.

There is no building here, only a round platform with a height of one step piled up with stones, mud and straw.

The old man in the video on the stage was indeed sitting cross-legged on the ground, and in front of him was a roughly carved humanoid stone statue.

At this time, the old man was looking up at the starry sky, not knowing what he was looking at.

Obviously the sky tonight is not very good, and there are not many stars.

When Xu Xun and the others approached, although he didn't turn his head, he seemed to have sensed something, and suddenly said:

"I've made it very clear, what are you still looking for me for?"

The voice was full of vicissitudes and indifference that had passed through time, but it also had an unquestionable majesty, as if nothing in the world could compare to the importance of him looking at the night sky at this moment.

Xu Xun, as the only person among these people who has ever faced a cultivator, his first instinct is that this old man has a similar aura to that "Yue Ze".

They all have that extraordinary sense of being independent from the world.

Immediately, I couldn't help feeling a little more certain about this matter.

Worried about offending the other party, he signaled the others to stay still for the time being. He took two steps forward and made a recently learned Taoist bowing gesture: "My name is Xu Xun. I am the head of the official special operations department. I have met seniors."

"Your matters have nothing to do with me. Whether it's official or otherwise, I just want to practice here with peace of mind, and I don't need to bother you anymore." The old man said lightly.

After all, the other party waved lightly with his back turned, and suddenly a strong wind blew up!
Xu Xun's eyes were suddenly fascinated by the wind, and his figure couldn't help but subconsciously took two steps back, but soon he insisted on standing still and walked forward again.

"This matter concerns the entire society, the future of the country, and even the situation of the entire world! Please forgive me for not listening."

"Senior, do you know about spiritual recovery?"

He shouted loudly, and the gust of wind suddenly stopped.

The old man's tone also changed slightly.

"You actually know aura?"

"Of course I know." Xu Xun breathed a sigh of relief, "I also know that aura is the foundation of your practice."

The old man turned his head slowly and stared at him for a while, as if looking at his facial features to recall, but then shook his head slightly.

"...No, you don't look like that person. Then how do you know this? What's the matter with the recovery of spiritual energy?"

Xu Xun saw that the other party had taken the bait, so he stopped talking in time: "This matter is the top secret of our department, and it must not be leaked to unrelated people at will."

"So, can I ask senior to move to a safe place with us and have a good chat?"

"Leave here? Impossible." The old man directly rejected this suggestion without thinking.

Xu Xun had already guessed that the other party might refuse, so he was not disappointed and switched to the second plan.

"Then why don't you and I have a secret exchange. You and I take turns asking questions, and the other party must answer truthfully."

The old man thought for a while, then nodded slightly: "Yes."

Xu Xun continued to walk forward, imitating the other party to sit cross-legged, facing each other, but still as humble as leading a student to ask for advice.

"Then let me answer a question you asked earlier, senior."

"Regarding the recovery of spiritual energy, it is a strange situation that our officials discovered recently..."

He simplified a lot of what Yue Ze said before, and only selected some key points to introduce.

Including the possible follow-up with more and more spiritual energy, some ancient demons and ghosts will also appear.

The old man frowned, thought for a while, but shook his head slowly.

"There is such a thing, I have never heard of it before."

"Senior has never heard of this..." Xu Xun was a little surprised.

Could it be that the other party is not a cultivator who only appeared after the recovery of spiritual energy, but started cultivating a long time ago?

Or is there a mistake in what that "Yue Ze" said?
He decided he still wanted to make sure.

"Then it's my turn to ask. Excuse me, senior, are you the legendary cultivator?"

"Cultivation?"

The old man thought for a while, then nodded and then shook his head.

"It should be cultivating the Tao. Immortals are too far away, and I am practicing the Tao that Master gave me."

"However, to some extent, I can already be regarded as a half-immortal to you mortals."

As soon as he raised his hand, a small whirlwind appeared out of nowhere on the palm of his hand, and a cloud of water vapor condensed on the other hand.

"Call the wind and call the rain!"

Xu Xun's eyes lit up instantly.

Even if he had seen a similar method on Hanyun Mountain before.

But when I saw it again at this moment, I still felt so incredible, so unscientific.

If some scientists see it, I am afraid they will exclaim "Physics does not exist anymore"!
And isn't such a miraculous method just approaching the legendary gods?
If it is placed in a drought and disaster period, the other party can do the work of praying for rain alone.
