Chapter 1020: Keep true to your heart(2/2)
Meng Qi didn't pay attention to the old man Hu Qin and the old man from the tea shop behind him. He suddenly took a step forward diagonally, blocking the place where the man with the knife retreated. He swung the long knife down, and blood spurted out again.
filled his white leggings.
Then, his steps slipped and he bumped back strangely, passing by the old man from the tea shop.
His head flew around, blood spurted out, but Meng Qi only had a shallow scar on his chest.
Seeing this scene, the salesman was so frightened that he lost his usual calmness, turned around in a hurry, and ran away like a ghost.
Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he saw a handsome young monk standing in front of him.
"Go to hell!" He stabbed Meng Qi between the eyebrows in panic, not daring to argue with him.
Meng Qi, who had an injury on his chin, gritted his teeth and smiled, looking particularly ferocious. He raised his left hand and directly grasped the salesman's sword. Regardless of the blade cutting his palm, he pulled it back hard and swung the sword.
"No..." The salesman's scream stopped abruptly, and blood spurted from his throat all over Meng Qi's head and face.
The old man Hu Qin on the other side trembled all over, screamed strangely, and ran away, leaving Meng Qi unable to catch up.
When Shang Yi saw this, the golden fan in his right hand instantly flew out, crossed the throat of the old man Hu Qin, spun in the air and flew back to Shang Yi's hand. This hand looked so cool!
Meng Qi, who had just experienced a big battle and whose face and body were covered with blood, was filled with envy. He only wished that the handsome figure just now was him! Even the man in black recognized it!
Immediately, Meng Qi used the opportunity to scare the rich young master and exchanged a jade pendant he had on for four fast horses.
Shang Yi and Qi Zhengyan were examining the bodies of several people to see if there were any clues.

Meng Qi wrapped up the wound:
"Monk, when will we set out? There is only three days to go, so there is no need to delay..."
Meng Qi nodded lightly: "Let's go now."
Upon hearing Meng Qi's answer, Xiang Hui immediately got on his horse, held the reins skillfully, and waited for departure.
Meng Qi hesitated for a while, but in the end he was kind-hearted and couldn't bear that Xiao Zi, a weak woman, was left alone in this place. He shared a horse with Xiao Zi, and Shang Yi and Qi Zhengyan rode one each.
Just four fast horses were enough for them to reach the gate of Shaolin Temple!
Before leaving, Meng Qi turned around, took off his jade pendant, and threw it behind him, directly into the rich man's arms.
Then, he rode his horse forward and laughed loudly amidst the clatter of hooves: "This is the horse's money."
The rich man caught the jade pendant in a daze and watched Meng Qi in gray monk robe disappear far away on the road in the dust. After a while, he murmured to himself: "He actually gave me money..."
This jade pendant is transparent and moist, and it is worth a lot at first glance.
He never thought that in this situation, the little monk who killed people like a fool would actually give him money without any hesitation!
Not to mention the monks who often beg for alms, ordinary people would definitely be greedy and take advantage of them!
"Young Master, he seems to be more like a monk than the senior monks who usually come here..." The beautiful maid was as confused as ever.
"Not alms?" Qi Zhengyan was a little surprised as he watched Meng Qi throw out the jade pendant, "This is the world of reincarnation, so you can follow the authority in emergencies."
Anyway, no one here knows me and others, and I will leave after completing the task.
Meng Qi put away his usual smile and said seriously: "If you indulge your lust and do things that violate your principles when there is no one around and in a strange place, what is the difference between that and having no principles? In reincarnation
In this world, I think we should stick to ourselves, otherwise after mission after mission, sooner or later, my temperament will change drastically, I will transform into Shura, and fall into the sea of misery forever."
He didn't have any thoughts that were too complete or deep into his bones. He just felt that he should stick to himself and not end up becoming someone he wanted to kill.
Besides, because of the Little Jade Buddha, he didn't want to carry that jade pendant with him.
Qi Zhengyan raised his head and looked at the road ahead, his tone slightly sad:
"Can you insist on it? If the task issued by the 'Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation' is contrary to your bottom line, and if you don't complete it, it will be obliterated. Are you willing to sacrifice your life to become a benevolent person? To become a Buddha immediately?"
"This..." The extreme situation imagined by Qi Zhengyan made it difficult for Meng Qi to answer, so he could only sigh:
"It's impossible to imagine now, we'll only know when the time comes... But we also need to save more good deeds to prevent deductions for failed missions."
Shang Yi said with a smile:
"The world of reincarnation is dangerous. It is rare to be able to not forget your original intention. Then you will have a clear conscience. We are all young people, how can we not make mistakes like the old Jianghu!?"
After Meng Qi and Qi Zhengyan heard this, they felt relieved. The dullness just now disappeared, and the atmosphere became relaxed for a while.
Two days later, the five people were not far from Shaolin. Since they were not considerate of horse power, they seemed to have escaped their pursuers and did not encounter a fight.
