Using the MC system to pretend spiritual revival

Chapter 9: Sword of Righteousness

The midday sun shone through the open window and fell right on the bed.

At this moment, the figure who was lying motionless and sleeping soundly suddenly opened his eyes.

He jumped to the ground with a somersault, and his whole body was full of energy, without any laziness and lethargy that comes when one just wakes up.

Steve's superb sleep quality!

"Ah~ You're sleeping so soundly~"

Lu Gu raised his hands high and his whole body seemed to stretch a little, and he let out a sigh of relief.

This is not a deliberate prank, but mainly because after loading this game, many negative effects disappear.

All the fatigue, sleepiness, back pain, dry eyes and thirst are gone.

Coupled with the baby-like sleep characteristic of the game, it is an invincible immersion that cannot be woken up by anything except the collapse of the bed.

After waking up, I felt like I was brand new from the factory, and my whole body was extremely clear and bright.

This comfortable experience also made Lu Gu feel in a good mood. Looking at the bright sunshine outside the window, he couldn't help but feel like going out for a walk.

Do it when you think of it.

He casually picked up the Taoist robe he wore yesterday and put it on, then opened the door and walked towards the front yard.

Because Chenshi Temple is a private Taoist temple and is not prepared to receive tourists, its overall area is actually very small.

Lu Gu walked and stopped, looking here and there, and in a few minutes he arrived at the front yard.

Compared to the backyard blocked by houses and walls, the open view of the front yard allows you to better appreciate the scenery of the mountains and forests.

Lu Gu walked to the high stone cliff where he usually stood and looked at the cloudless scenery.

Verdant trees are scattered across the mountains, dotted with occasional steep rocks.

If you listen carefully, you can hear the chirping of birds and animals in the mountains and the gurgling of rivers and springs.

"What a vibrant and vibrant world!"

I have been seeing the same scenery these days, but my mindset is different and even what I see is different.

I was so scared before that I kept thinking about going home. But when I looked at the forests all over the mountains, I felt even more uneasy in the deep mountains and old forests.

Now I think about it, I was an orphan in my previous life. I worked very hard and finally got a small corner of the world in this huge steel city.

I have been living the same life for the past ten years, eating simple meals mixed with smog.

Looking at the mountains and rivers in front of me now, it really stinks.

Come back home?

The dog didn’t reply!

And just as Lu Gu was looking at the mountains and rivers and taking a deep breath to cleanse his heart.

A voice filled with surprise came from behind him.

"Master! You're out of retreat so early today?!"

He turned around upon hearing that and saw his silly apprentice standing there holding a bundle of chopped firewood.

"Qingfeng, what are you doing?"

Lu Gu was a little confused. Usually he saw this disciple either practicing sword or meditating. What was he doing holding a pile of wood today?
"what?"

Li Qingfeng looked down at the firewood in his arms, and then he understood what his master was asking.

"Master! In the past, I would go to the back mountain to chop firewood early, but today I was late. However, after Master gave me some Dharma, my physical strength has improved a lot, so I didn't waste too much time."

Speaking of this, Li Qingfeng scratched his head in embarrassment.

"It's not that I'm lazy. But Master told me three days ago that I would be in seclusion and would not come out until after noon every day."

"I have been preparing meals after noon these past two days, so I can prepare them after Master comes out of retreat."

As he spoke, his face was filled with surprise, as if he suddenly realized something.

"Master! Did you come out of retreat early this time? Could it be that your cultivation has improved again?!"

Looking at his little disciple with stars in his eyes, Lu Gu was embarrassed, but he still maintained a calm smile on the surface.

The master didn't say anything, he just smiled without saying anything.

How can I put this into words? I really can't put this into words!

Should I tell my stupid disciple?

Ah~ Your master, I just came here and I can’t sleep well and I’m still staying in bed~
It's not a retreat at all. I just slept until the afternoon before going out.

Wouldn’t that be a blast? Do you want to be so cool? Are you going to make money from MC points?!

What's more, it wasn't because I couldn't get up that I stayed at home for the past three days.

My memory was confused at that time and I was in the dark and didn't know anything.

At that time, he could only think of a quick solution and said that he wanted to go into seclusion, so that he didn't have to show up in public and avoid the risk of being exposed.

"But now that I think about it, it's true. I was so busy organizing the information at the time that it seems like it was really my little apprentice who brought me food those few days. I didn't think much about it at the time."

After figuring out the reason, Lu Gu now felt even more embarrassed, but he still had to maintain his image as a great master.

He looked over his little apprentice, his eyes lit up, and he found an opportunity to change the subject.

"Qingfeng, the sword on your back seems a little different from the one I gave you yesterday."

Listen to what my master said.

Li Qingfeng, unfazed by the diversion, set down the firewood with a tone full of praise, reaching for the wooden sword from behind his back. "Master, look! A few days ago, I found a particularly large lightning-struck tree in the mountains, and I brought one back with me."

As he said this, he handed the wooden sword in his hand, which had changed greatly, to his master with both hands.

Reaching out to take it, he examined it carefully in his hand, noticing that the wood was dark and heavy, with some dark purple marks on the lower part.

"It really is lightning-struck wood, and it's quite old."

Lu Gu also became interested at this time. He was very interested in playing with wooden pieces in his previous life, but unfortunately he couldn't afford them. However, he did have some knowledge about them.

The piece of lightning-struck wood in my hand is indeed a rare authentic piece.

"Master is indeed a man of great insight!"

"This lightning-struck wood is exactly as described in the ancient book in the study. I originally planned to take it back and carve a lightning-struck wood sword."

Li Qingfeng scratched his head in embarrassment.

"But yesterday, Master gave me a magic wooden sword. It would be redundant to carve another wooden sword. So, I thought that the wooden sword has no scabbard, so I decided to use this lightning-struck wood to make a scabbard."

Lu Gu shook the lightning-struck wood in his hand and felt that it looked more like a box than a scabbard.

The whole piece of wood is one foot wide and more than one meter long. It is very flat and less than three fingers thick.

"Your scabbard has a unique shape, very different from ordinary scabbards."

After looking around and finding nothing special, he could only cast a puzzled look at his little apprentice.

Li Qingfeng, sensing his master's doubts, happily stepped forward to take the wooden box, holding it in his arms and demonstrating it.

"Master has been in seclusion for many years, so you wouldn't know this. This is a very popular design in mortal picture books. There's a mechanism underneath the box. You just need to thrust it firmly into the ground."

As he spoke, Li Qingfeng slammed one end of the wooden box heavily on the ground, and the entire ground seemed to shake.

The next moment, the wooden box opened to the left and back like two wings, revealing the plain mc wooden sword inside.

"Master, look! That's it."

As he spoke, he drew out his wooden sword and performed a few sword moves.

"Before I went up the mountain, I learned a little carpentry to make a living. I just felt like making this. What do you think, Master?"

Li Qingfeng put away his sword and turned to look at his master.

That little look left Lu Gu speechless.

“It’s really nice and exquisite.”

This is not a compliment, but he really thinks it is very good, so much so that Lu Gu even wants this little apprentice to make one for him.

"I didn't expect you to have such skills, Qingfeng. It's rare, but don't let playing with things get you into trouble."

He gave a routine warning and prepared to go back to his room after the little disciple responded.

There was nothing I could do. Seeing my little apprentice playing so enthusiastically, I could only go back to my room and study the MC function myself to see if I could come up with something interesting.

But just as Lu Gu was about to step out, the young disciple behind him called him again.

"Master, please stay! I still have some questions!"

After seeing his master stop and turn to look at him, Li Qingfeng hesitated for a moment and then asked.

"Yesterday, I was so excited that I forgot to ask Master if this wooden sword has a name."

Li Qingfeng looked at him expectantly, waiting for his master's reply.

When Lu Gu looked at his apprentice's expression, how could he not guess what he was thinking?
As someone who has been through this and also had that embarrassing past, Lu Gu understands it too well.

"I forged this sword not long ago and haven't had time to name it yet. Now that I've given it to you, it's up to you to name it."

After saying this, Lu Gu left without looking back.

as predicted.

next moment.

The expected shout of surprise came.

"Thank you, Master! Ugh!!"

Listening to the little apprentice behind him, he was laughing and jumping like a child.

I couldn't help but smile and shook my head.

Let him be. Youth is a precious time in life. I should go back and study to see if I can come up with something new.

Not long after Lu Gu left, Li Qingfeng recovered from his excitement.

He took out the sword again, held it in his hand, and looked at it in front of his eyes.

"It's said that divine artifacts have spirits. Since you're the magic weapon that Master painstakingly refined, it should also have spirits, right?"

"What do you think I should name you? The best sword in the world?"

"Wuming? Guanhong? Zhuxie? Hmm. It seems a bit too fancy."

Looking at the sunlight reflected on the sword blade, he seemed to see his master admonishing him again.

"Why don't you just call yourself Zhengdao?"

"The righteous path is just as Master wishes, to punish the evil spirits in the world and protect the righteous path in the world!"

"Zhengdao Sword! If you don't object, I'll take it as your consent."
