Li Yi opened his eyes again. The room had been simply tidied up. The various instruments that were lying around had been moved out. There were still stains of some kind of medicine on the ground, emitting a strange and pungent smell.
The deaf-mute girl was lying on the bed with a pale face and frowned brows as if she was in great pain. Several foundation-building monks and medical staff were examining her, which was nothing more than modern medical examinations of heart and lung function, and auxiliary examinations of meridian circulation commonly used in the cultivation world.
As one of the core figures in this incident, Tang Yuan has been acting as a background. Her greatest role may be to help the investigation team sneak a peek at the memories of the reincarnated great power, thereby completing the turbulent 50 years in the cultivation world. After the ownership of her body was discovered by the soul of the Sword Sect disciple, the Zhongshu Mansion hinted to the investigation team not to interfere, and even to assist the Sword Sect reincarnated person.
All of this was pressure from Qi. Maybe the Sword Sect did not exert pressure, but its reputation was there.
Someone in the investigation team even suggested that Tang Yuan be given a place as a hero in the name of the company, so that her family would have no worries about food and clothing in the future. To put it bluntly, everything was prepared for her death, and they were just waiting for her to be possessed.
Xu Manhong was also quite helpless about this. Matters involving the two regions were not something that a small person like her could decide, nor was it something that an ordinary person like Tang Yuan could refuse. If nothing unexpected happened, this body would fall into the hands of a disciple of the Sword Sect, most likely Elder He.
Although the two are of different genders, it is acceptable for the sake of perfect spiritual practice.
"The immortal has awakened."
Suddenly Xu Manhong stopped what she was doing, and she noticed that Li Yi had opened his eyes. Others also raised their heads, and a reserved atmosphere filled the whole room.
The immortal's true body has never been shown in public so far. Compared with other powerful national guardians, this powerful person known as an immortal is a little too low-key. But this has not weakened his reputation, but has cast a layer of mystery on him.
The reputation of other powerful men comes from their strength and their battle records, while the reputation of the immortals in the world is built on these powerful men.
The ones who have direct relationship with the living immortals are Fairy Taiyin, Feijiang, Taoist Qingxuan, and Master Dushi. Three of these four are state-protecting. Among these people, Taoist Qingxuan and Master Dushi are the two leaders of Buddhism and Taoism, who are master and apprentice, while Feijiang and Fairy Taiyin are clearly husband and wife. As for who is older and who is younger, it is hard to say.
According to gossip, the Sword Immortal is also related to immortals, and the Medical Immortal Li Hua is a living immortal.
Later, the news was confirmed to be a rumor. It was not the Sword Sect that came out to clarify, but the monk who spread the rumor was arrested. A teenager from the Qidi monk training base brought the Internet star-chasing and CP-bearing set to the monk world, but he didn't know how many people were scared to death by his behavior.
As a foundation-building cultivator, Xu Manhong was considered an above-average figure in the Shenzhou cultivator world, and he also worked in the government. Naturally, he knew a lot of inside information. What puzzled many people at the time was that the Qi government and the Sword Sect did not say it was a rumor, but published inappropriate remarks.
It stands to reason that since it concerns the reputation of the Sword Immortal, even if he doesn't care, the people below should try their best to handle it properly. It is very puzzling that he handled it so lightly. Now Xu Manhong and other members of the investigation team know what happened.
It turns out that the Sword Immortal and the Living Immortal are really a couple, which confused the little brat!
After some internal calculations within the investigation team, it was discovered that all of Shenzhou's national guardians had close ties with the living immortals, and these people were from the same faction.
The three words "national defense level" are a huge mountain for anyone, and are enough to openly break the law for a privileged existence.
Now the prime minister comes and goes, but the national defender is always there.
The immortal sect, headed by the living immortals, controls the entire Shenzhou and is currently the largest faction in the world. Not to mention that the recently promoted public version of the practice method was also created by the Shangqing Palace and the immortals. It won't be long before all people in the world will be included in the immortal sect.
A powerful person is not scary. What is scary is a powerful person who has strength and benefits people all over the world.
"Can I help her take a look?"
Li Yi took a step forward. His voice was not as sacred and inviolable as people imagined, but rather very gentle, like a gentle and elegant ancient gentleman that could be seen everywhere.
Everyone was visibly stunned for a moment, then they all made way.
Li Yi walked to the bedside, raised his hand and gently touched the woman's brow. Afterwards, there was no big scene that others expected. They didn't even know what the immortal had just done. Only Qingxuan could slightly perceive it.
The Immortal Master actually took these spirits directly into his spirit platform.
The spiritual platform is the most secretive place for cultivators, and even their fellow Taoists are often not allowed to set foot there. The immortals should have the means to isolate them, but if they are not closely related, they will not be included.
Hiss! Is this really a new Taoist partner?
"Um. Can you keep her soul?" Xu Manhong suddenly asked.
"Her name is Tang Yuan. She is a deaf-mute and a lawyer at the Gaojing Deaf-mute Legal Aid Association. She has provided free legal aid to 100 deaf-mute people for five consecutive years. Although reincarnation is an uncontrollable phenomenon, I think a good person who has contributed to society should not die like this."
She had already given up hope, but after seeing that the immortal was not that difficult to contact, she hesitated and finally asked for help. Xu Manhong was responsible for sorting out Tang Yuan's information. After learning about her resume, Xu Manhong felt empathy for her and wanted to help her.
Just like Tang Yuan helps the deaf and mute people, he just wants to help those in need.
"A deaf-mute lawyer? Not a bad career." Li Yi gave a gentle compliment, and then explained: "No one wants to take over her body. A knight will not kill civilians. And now I am just helping her stabilize her soul, so that her true self will not be lost in the spiritual platform given by the reincarnated person."
