The fake prince was exposed at the beginning, and I took office as emperor on the spot

Chapter 33 Kill (Two in One)

Gu Fangchen placed the scroll of scriptures on the stone table in the yard, opened it, and then began the first step of his upgrade.

Separate all the characters individually.

That's right, due to the judgment of [Always Hit the Nest], it can be effective by throwing a single item into the water.

Every word written by Xu Fu has an extraordinary charm and can make people have an epiphany.

In other words, what she wrote were not words, but experience packages.

With the extremely high degree of freedom in "Mirror in the Dust", a complete scripture is counted as one item.

Therefore, if we break down the more than 2,000 characters, that would be more than 2,000 items!
This is the most outrageous use of [Keeping the Nest] that players have researched.

Every word thrown into the water can be replaced.

In this way, the probability and efficiency of betting on higher-level words will be greatly increased.

But please note that this method of splitting characters is not without cost.

Because the decomposition of characters is irreversible.

66% of them got nothing, which means there is a high probability that they will be lost if thrown into the water.

If a word is missing from a book, it cannot be put back together to become the original book.

Once this method is used, it means completely abandoning the original book.

Moreover, it does not mean that you can just randomly put the characters together after breaking them down and use them again. Instead, they must be "spelled into meaningful sentences" again before the system will judge them as a whole.

Under normal circumstances, players can only obtain copybooks and notebooks with relatively few words.

It's really so unbearable that breaking down the characters might not be worth the effort.

But Gu Fangchen didn't need to worry about these things - that's why he chose to get a whole volume of scriptures.

Two thousand three hundred and sixty-six characters, no matter what, the characters left at the end can definitely form a sentence.

“Tear…tear…tear…”

Gu Fangchen took a dagger studded with gems that he had asked Xuexiang to bring him, and diligently cut open the small words neatly and removed them.

Xuexiang blinked curiously beside him, not understanding what the Crown Prince was doing.

He just held a box, listened to Gu Fangchen's instructions, and carefully put the cut words into it.

She was afraid that she would blow away the light pieces of paper, so she often held her breath subconsciously, causing her little face to puff up and turn red.

Gu Fangchen raised his head and took a look, then laughed dumbly, and then said seriously:
"Since you have nothing to do, how about I teach you the telekinesis spell?"

"Spell?"

Xuexiang was startled and quickly shook her head:

"That's the magical power of a cultivator. I don't have any cultivation experience, how can I learn it?"

Gu Fangchen said:

"It's not difficult. Anyone can perform this spell. It just requires some tools and a few simple steps."

Xuexiang opened her eyes wide.

Can everyone perform it?

Gu Fangchen said:

"Put the box down first, and go get a glass hairpin and a silk handkerchief."

Xuexiang nodded quickly, ran out, and ran back panting.

She clutched the hairpin and handkerchief in her hands, blushing, and stammered in a low voice:

"I went to borrow it from the princess. She asked me to tell you to be more restrained and not to play too hard. It's important to take care of your health..."

"???"

Gu Fangchen twitched the corners of his mouth, his eyes fell on the slender hairpin and the smooth handkerchief, and he fell into deep thought.

Mother, what are you thinking about?

Gu Fangchen looked at the little maid again and suddenly felt that her face was not red, but yellow.

He said unhappily:

"At such a young age, you should have a healthy mind."

Xuexiang said "oh", but she didn't understand what "healthier" meant.

She was originally the Crown Prince's concubine, so it was natural for her to serve him. Isn't this healthy?
Xuexiang’s clever little head worked, and she immediately came up with the answer.

It must be that His Royal Highness is still weak and cannot do strenuous exercise, so he is unhealthy... What this means is that she needs to be more considerate and take care of the difficulties of the Crown Prince.

The little maid nodded secretly in her heart, clenched her fists, and felt that she understood the prince's implication.

Gu Fangchen didn't know what the maid he had just accepted was thinking. He continued:

"Wrap the hairpin with a handkerchief and rub it up and down a few times."

As he spoke, his face turned strange.

How come this normal little experiment suddenly seems to be going wrong after being interrupted like this...

Especially when I saw Xuexiang's slender jade fingers covered under the hazy and translucent silk, holding the hairpin together and gently moving it up and down.

Come to think of it, with the silk craftsmanship here, it is entirely possible to imitate silk stockings, right?
"what's next?"

Xuexiang's question interrupted Gu Fangchen's thoughts. He coughed and said seriously:
"Harder, faster."

Xuexiang rubbed hard obediently.

"All right."

Gu Fangchen said seriously:
"Now, this hairpin has magic."

Xuexiang looked at the hairpin in her hand in a daze. Is this okay?
It’s too simple…

"Otherwise, how can you say that everyone can perform it?"

Gu Fangchen said:

"Now take the hairpin and reach into the box, close to the papers."

Xuexiang, feeling both nervous and expectant, carefully brought the hairpin closer. Then, she suddenly opened her eyes wide and exclaimed excitedly:
"Your Highness! It's amazing! All the pieces of paper are flying!"

Gu Fangchen said solemnly:

"This spell is called static electricity."

"Oh! Static!"

Seeing Xuexiang's eyes shining and having a lot of fun, Gu Fangchen felt very relieved.

The so-called education through entertainment, enlightenment of physical science, starts with me.

Next time, throw a few apples at this kid's head and see...

When Gu Youren entered the courtyard of the east wing, he saw such a harmonious scene.

It was so harmonious that she almost thought she had entered the wrong place.

Xuexiang was immersed in the static magic and unknowingly sat on the stone bench.

Gu Fangchen was busy working nearby, sitting side by side with Xuexiang!

Gu Youren paused, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Gu Fangchen, this dandy with a perverse and violent temperament, had ever been on equal terms with servants and maids?!

If any servant in the palace did anything that displeased him, he would beat or punish them, let alone such a disrespectful act!
At this moment, Gu Fangchen was even chatting and laughing with the little maid.

Even if they were somewhat pretty, all the famous actresses who served Gu Fangchen in the past were stunningly beautiful.

Gu Youren's eyes darkened.

So, this person...

She was about to step forward, but when she looked closely, she suddenly froze.

What, what is that thing that dude is cutting with a knife?!

After Gu Youren realized what that thing was, his mind buzzed, his whole body trembled, and he could no longer control himself.

There is no way she would admit her mistake!
That was her master's handwriting, the scriptures copied by her master himself!

She studied the handwritten notes given to her by her master every day and carefully protected them, fearing that they would be torn or soiled in the slightest.

And now, this bad guy actually cut that scroll of scriptures into pieces!
"Gu Fangchen! Stop!" Gu Youren was horrified and hurriedly strode forward, reaching out to grab the remaining scriptures.

But apparently, it was too late.

Her face was pale and her hands were trembling as she held the tattered scripture.

Of this entire scroll of scriptures, only a few pages remained intact. The words on them had all been scratched off, leaving only a few tattered white strips fluttering in the wind...

So pitiful.

Gu Youren's eyes went dark, and he felt his blood boiling in his chest, almost vomiting blood.

She was originally wondering why, with Gu Yuandao's qualifications, his spiritual foundation had long been stable, and he had the composure to remain calm in the face of adversity, he was still deceived by Gu Fangchen and his faith in Taoism was shattered?

Now, she personally experienced the power of Gu Fangchen.

This guy, this guy is such a badass!
How could someone go to such lengths as chewing a peony with a cow, burning a zither, and cooking a crane?!

So stupid, so stupid!
Gu Fangchen sighed and stretched out his hand:
"Can you give it back to me? This is a gift from your master. I can do whatever I want with it. Now you come and take it away by force. Is this also the gentlemanly conduct taught by Yaoshan Academy?"

Gu Youren clutched the scriptures in his hand, furious to the extreme:
"Master gave you the scriptures because she wanted you to study hard. How could you just throw her hard work into the fire?!"

Gu Fangchen sighed:
"Then you misunderstood me. How could I burn the hard work of the Imperial Master? What kind of person am I then?"

He feigned anger, glared at Gu Youren, and slammed the table:
"You can call me shameless, call me a villain, but you can't slander me with unfounded accusations!"

Gu Youren was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that he had been so indiscriminate that he had accused Princess Prajna of being on guard against Gu Fangchen, a villain...

Isn't it just slandering Gu Fangchen with false accusations?

When she saw Gu Fangchen's confident words, she suddenly became hesitant and felt guilty and short of breath.

Could it be...that she misunderstood?

Yes, Master’s handwritten scriptures are so precious that even someone as uneducated as Gu Fangchen should understand their value.

Furthermore, his Master might have tacitly approved of his actions...

Gu Youren pursed his lips, handed over the scripture in his hand, and asked in a deep voice:

"So what exactly do you want to do?"

Gu Fangchen took it and continued with his work, his expression very serious:
"Just wait, don't disturb me."

Gu Youren was angry. When would it be this guy's turn to order him around?

But she was now in a dilemma, so she could only stand by and wait, watching Gu Fangchen cut out the remaining words.

All that was left of the entire scripture was an empty spine.

Gu Fangchen put down the dagger, stretched his muscles, and shook the box of paper with satisfaction.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

He looked up and saw a small pond in the princess's yard, so he walked straight over.

Gu Youren followed him, feeling confused and a little curious.

Gu Fangchen walked to the side of the pond, took a deep breath, turned the box in his hand upside down, and all the pieces of paper floated into the water.

Just like falling pear blossoms.

Gu Youren's expression froze, and he asked blankly:

"W-what are you doing?"

Gu Fangchen turned his head and asked doubtfully:
"Of course, I use it to bait fish. What else can I do?"

He certainly would not burn the scriptures, he would just sink them into the water.

Gu Youren: “…”

The first female teacher of the academy, who had always communicated with literati in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was extremely talented and understood elegance, broke up.

She had a blank expression:
"You're using the scriptures that the Saint of Life copied personally to fish and bait?"

Gu Fangchen immediately turned around and shouted:
"Mother! Gu Youren wants to kill me!"

Gu Youren almost couldn't breathe, his face was dark and his chest was heaving violently.

But seeing Ning Caiyong coming out, she could only hold it back, gritted her teeth and walked away angrily.

She was 100% sure that this was the brainless bad guy!
……

Gu Fangchen looked at Gu Youren's leaving back and sighed in his heart.

Given Gu Youren's arrogant personality, he would have become withdrawn if he knew Xu Fu had given him the scriptures. Out of sight, out of mind. How could he come to him to suffer such an insult?

Those who come are not good, and those who are good don't.

There is only one possibility for her to come here, that is, to test the intelligence.

As for what?
Naturally, it can only be related to Gu Fangchen's identity.

If Gu Fangchen can cut off the source of the problem, then Gu Yuye, who knows the truth, can do the same.

Given the military saint's suspicion, he had already doubted Gu Fangchen's identity before at the White Horse Temple.

Now he must be even more suspicious.

Gu Youren could only come here to test this point.

The most fatal thing is that when Gu Fangchen entered the ninth level of the Divine Way in the illusion, he knew that he did have a huge flaw.

His soul at this moment is complete.

The original Gu Fangchen had one of his souls taken away by the Galan Temple in order to suppress the poison in his body.

"Not urgent."

"To deal with the Galan Temple, there is an excellent candidate in Huangtian City."

Gu Fangchen narrowed his eyes and together with Xuexiang used a scoop net to pick up the pieces of paper from the water.

I counted them, that's enough.

He blew on the pieces of paper and looked up at the sky:
"In the game, Gu Fangchen died tragically in the stable, but there are many texts that suggest that he definitely didn't commit suicide, but was the work of the 'Destroyer' grass sword."

"And coincidentally, during this time, the Form Grass Sword appeared near Huangtian City. Who knows... maybe some desperate dogs will jump over the wall."

"I wonder if Princess Prajna has received my list of materials..."

……

White Horse Temple.

The yard that was destroyed by Ding Xingfeng's hatchet has been rebuilt and a new batch of lotus flowers have been planted.

Princess Prajna was behind the gauze curtain, staring at the fluttering gauze, and her heart was still extremely annoyed.

That guy, I'd better know the whereabouts of the holy relic...

Suddenly, her expression moved and she turned her head to see a cloaked maid with lotus eyes half-kneeling quietly beside her.

Princess Prajna narrowed her eyes and said lazily, "Did he ask you to come?"

Qing Jian nodded and handed the lists filled with materials to Princess Prajna.

"He said he hopes you can give these things to him by tomorrow."

She softened Gu Fangchen's tone.

Prajna raised her eyes and took it, casually looking through each one, and said sarcastically:
"He's brave enough to ask. How many people in the world can gather all these things in one day?"

But she happened to be one of them.

Princess Prajna raised her head and suddenly sneered:

"What an ignorant fellow! He actually made a typo..."

Qing Jian was stunned, then thought that there were indeed some very strange things among them, and even she had only vaguely heard of their names.

It turned out to be a typo?

This is really...

The more Princess Prajna looked at it, the more she felt that she might be being played a trick. She tried to tear the paper in her hand into pieces with an expressionless face, but suddenly she stopped.

Her eyes flashed, and she looked carefully again.

Those typos actually formed a sentence——

"To the west of the city, there is a grass-shaped sword, kill it."
