You have to believe that I am really a white lotus

The two changed their clothes with great difficulty, and the predestined person also finished the whipping and walked out of the temple wearing the same rough sackcloth.Blood oozed from the linen robe, and the smear became bigger with each step, but neither he nor the others in the room turned a blind eye to it, allowing him to go out with his wounds without treatment.

The words "You should give up your desires, and you should take pleasure in sacrifice" are still echoing in the background.His steps were getting bigger and bigger, the corners of his clothes fluttered, and his slightly curly black hair brushed behind him, revealing a face with features similar to Yue Qingfeng's, but with a cold and stubborn expression.

He walked down the stairs quickly, but at the corner, he met a girl with a high bun, bare chest and arms, and a green silk skirt with a big bustle and long swing.

The faces of both of them became very ugly in an instant, the girl curtseyed to him, and said coldly: "Your Highness Monton, I am already His Highness Meng An's fiancée, please don't wait for me like this again, I won't Hope others get it wrong."

The corner of the predestined person's mouth twitched, and he sneered, "I'm waiting for you on a special trip? Miss Laura, your imagination is really rich. This is my father's palace. Waiting for you? Well, you can please whoever you want to please, after all, I have changed from the fiancee of the prince to the fiancée of the illegitimate child, and I am not as confident as before, and I can enter ita palace as I want. "

The girl was so angry that her chest heaved, and the folding fan in her hand trembled slightly, but her expression became more glamorous and noble, and she sneered: "Hall of Monton is too worried. His Highness Meng An is the child of destiny predicted by the Pope. The liars who are the Children of Destiny will reveal their true colors one day, and give back to him double the power and glory they stole!"

"Fate..." His cold eyes fell on Miss Laura's face full of indomitable will, and he said flatly, "Then I wish you to stand beside your child of destiny when fate comes."

After saying this, he turned around and left, leaving the girl who was determined to resist his violence as air.She was so angry that she trembled all over, the small and exquisite folding fan finally snapped, and a piece of fragrant wood fan was broken.

Monton's expression was not very good. He strode down to the bottom of the building, refused the guard's frightened fawning, walked out of the palace alone, and looked at the high sky.

In the distance, there was a small ink dot heading towards him. The distance could not be seen in the air, only the ink dot was getting bigger and bigger, gradually showing a clear outline.It was like a metal sailboat, with wing-like vertical sails on both sides, and several long chimneys erected at the front and back of the hull, emitting hot steam.

Those steams are the glory of this era, but they also carry a bit of downfall, just like him, the prince who is destined to give way to the son of destiny.He looked at the white smoke left in the air, and asked in a low voice: "Why should I give up my desires and give in willingly? Why am I destined to be the one who becomes the stepping stone? Why do I get nothing but God's instruction—"

"Because you don't believe in God." A soft voice suddenly sounded behind him, causing him to break out in a cold sweat. He immediately turned around, pressed his right hand to his waist, and subconsciously asked, "Who are you?"

In broad daylight, in the heavily guarded palace garden, two people unexpectedly appeared at some point, one of whom was still in a wheelchair!The person sitting looked a bit like him, but the outline was not so deep, and his expression was more gentle and solid;The clothing on his body looks like expensive silk fabrics, but the design is ordinary, it doesn't look like an intruder, maybe a newly appointed nobleman or a lord who has just moved into the imperial capital?

Judging by the appearance of these two people, if they have sisters, they must look good.That "Child of Destiny" who is favored by the king likes to bring his mistress' relatives into the palace, and they both probably get in like this.

Thinking about it this way, the goosebumps on Monton's body fell down, and the coldness penetrated deeper.He narrowed his eyes vigilantly and asked, "What do you want to say? What do you mean by 'believing in something other than God'?"

Yue Qingfeng looked up at him, and replied with a smile: "There is a common saying called 'what you trust is not a man', which means that if a woman marries a man with bad conduct, her life will be miserable for the rest of her life. A wise monarch, if believers believe in an unjust and generous god, they will also suffer pain. After you believe in this god, your life is not as good as when you didn’t believe in it. Why don’t you abandon him and find another god who will protect you? ?”

Monton was full of disbelief, pointed at him with his blood-stained right hand, and asked in a low voice: "Do you know what you are talking about? Based on what you just said, I can send you to the Inquisition. Hanging is considered light." of!"

Lian Nianchu naturally walked to the wheelchair and blocked his fingers: "They can only judge people, not gods. Prince Monton, you really have to believe in a god who will only torture you, reject me An olive branch extended? Be my believer, I will give you the road to the clouds, and I will never make you a stepping stone for others."

He looked at the high clear sky and said: "How can being the child of destiny compare to holding the throat of fate with your own hands?"

Before they entered the palace, they heard passers-by discussing that the Child of Destiny would lead them to defeat the enemy and bring infinite glory to their country and God; Sarcastically satirize him.This group of people actually felt how great it is to have a child of destiny—it’s not his father, he can do whatever he wants to do with the world, no matter how popular this son is, he still has to be honest with him Enemy country at war?

If this predestined person was not also a prince, he would have wanted to teach him what it means to be a "prince and general"!

Monton's breathing was slightly stagnant, and he stared at the clear blue sky above his head. The muscles all over his body were tense, and blood dripped down his soaked clothes.

Lian Nianchu looked at him with pity, and took out a skin-changing pill from the Linghu space and handed it over: "Eat it, and your wounds will be healed. Although you still don't believe me now, but I and that kind Unlike gods who don’t care about believers being beaten, you have a predestined relationship with me, so I can’t watch you suffer.”

Monton stood motionless on the corridor, looking at the pearl-like delicate pill, and suddenly laughed: "You have been talking for a long time, the purpose is to let me take this pill? Then I will fall into the embrace of God... …Maybe still in the arms of the pagan gods, never suffer again, and enjoy the happy life surrounded by beauties in the so-called kingdom of God?"

This predestined person is really wary.Lian Nianchu sighed, leaned forward, and fell in front of the predestined person in the blink of an eye. The pill in his hand patted his lips lightly and squeezed into his mouth.

When the pill enters, it turns into a cool and sweet potion, which enters the blood along the sublingual blood vessel.

The scorching whip wound on Monton's back seemed to have been smeared with cooling ointment, the wound immediately healed, and the blood stopped dripping.He stretched his hand behind his back and awkwardly touched the wound, but he didn't feel any pain when he touched it, and he could feel the smoothness of the wound through the sackcloth.

Not only the new wounds on his back, but even the old scars on his hands that were scalded by gunpowder and hot steam have recovered as before. His complexion has become much fairer, and he looks more like Yue Qingfeng.

Looking at his still stern face, Lian Nianchu thought with some emotion: being the son of fate is really not as good as being the son of Brother Yue.How happy Ye Lan was in the lower realm back then, this predestined person had such a miserable life, it was because he believed in the wrong god.

Monton was nervous for a long time, but he didn't wait for the poisonous hair to come. On the contrary, the injuries on his body healed, and his face was a little embarrassing.Looking at his clean and soft hands, he finally believed that they didn't want to poison him to death, but he still didn't give up his vigilance, his eyes skipped the two of them and looked at the surrounding bushes where people might be hiding, and asked sternly: "How did you get into the palace? Who would invite heretics like you...?"

Yue Qingfeng smiled and leaned on the wheelchair and replied: "It's you. If someone else invited you, why would we come to see you? It's you who are unwilling to live in the present, unwilling to believe in this god who treats you so cruelly...it's you Your will attracted the white lotus god who sympathizes with you to come here."

"Nonsense!" Monton clenched his flawless hands, closed his eyes and said, "You go, I won't report you, but you can't say such blasphemous words anymore. There is only one God, I only believe in God, and I am willing to be whipped by him. My belief is sincere!"

Lian Nianchu quietly asked Yue Qingfeng through his spiritual sense: "Is there really a god in this world? Do you want to discuss with him and ask him to transfer his believers to me?"

Yue Qingfeng had his own way of sensing gods, and he replied confidently: "No, this small world is very clean. There are neither gods nor immortals. If there is, it is the Yun'an Great World that gave birth to it. This is mine. People who are reincarnated from real spirits can be snatched away, and we will take care of them wherever they go."

He was very stubborn. When he saw that Monton was about to leave, he sneered and asked loudly: "Do you know what true believers are like? They are happy with the situation, and they silently endure everything they encounter and regard it as God's arrangement. If you are as devout as you say, you should believe that we are your salvation from the god you believe in, and you should obey us; if you are not devout, then you should plan for yourself and believe in a god who is more merciful to you !"

"But that might... be the temptation of demons..." Monton argued dryly, biting his lips, and walked towards the square behind the palace without saying a word.

Lian Nianchu hurriedly pushed up the wheelchair and followed him, teaching him as he walked: "What are you hesitating about? Elementary school students know that everyone is equal. As a prince, the future master of this country, why do you kneel in front of a group of bad old men?" , to bear their unreasonable whipping? Now the turning point of fate is in your hands, and I, the true God, has descended in front of you. Do you want to give up your salvation and continue to live like that, or stand up and fight once to prove that fate never has a son? Everyone is the master of their own destiny?"

"What a mess, where are you preaching like this..." Monton wanted to cover his ears, but felt that these words were much more pleasing to the ear than the teachings that told him to endure humiliation and not fight or grab, so he slowly slowed down his pace , quietly raised his ears to listen to him.

They also encountered many maids and servants along the way, but those people respectfully bowed to him and left as if they couldn't see the two pagan gods behind them or hear their blasphemous words. Half different.At first, he was worried that they would be reported by those waiters, but after experiencing many such situations, he realized that the White Lotus God and his companions did have supernatural powers, which ordinary people could not see through.So his expression and movements became more natural, and he walked to the square behind the palace calmly with two tails.

The airship I saw in the sky before had landed close to the ground, and the square was full of people, from the king to the ministers, all of them were waiting there in gorgeous and cumbersome clothes.The pope who had whipped him for a long time and the priests who were watching were also standing in the forefront of the crowd, and they were also wearing rags, which made his blood-stained attire less conspicuous.

The hard wind from the airship blew from the sky, rattling his robes.Amidst the sound of the wind and the roar of the steam engine, the huge spaceship fell to the ground, and the hatch that shone with brass-colored metallic luster opened, and a group of well-dressed and energetic soldiers descended.

Behind the soldier was a handsome young man with a long-barreled gun and a row of gold medals on his chest. When he came down, he saluted the king and the Pope. child".The fiancée, Miss Lola, also stood behind the king, looking at him eagerly and reservedly, which was completely different from the attitude of seeing an enemy when she saw Monton.

Monton didn't go to meet the young man holding the stars, but stared at the heavy airship, and walked towards the gangway without looking back: "Those people came back to enjoy the honor, and I will take this airship Go to the front line. There are no fine dresses, clothes, women, or the beautiful words that everyone is equal. There is only fighting, obedience, and large fighting machines full of hot water and coal. What is the use of following me?"

Lian Nianchu followed behind him unhurriedly, looked at the heavy and rough airship, thought for a while, and said seriously: "At least the steam engine inside can be transformed into a coal generator, and technology can be advanced by 100 years. "
