Chapter 1: The Cruel Truth
Late at night, there was no moon or stars, and the wind was fierce.
In the Qin family cemetery, Qin Cheng sat in front of the grave with his back against the tombstone, his body motionless like a stone, as if he had become one with the tombstone.
The cemetery was pitch black, and the howling of the wind was like the cry of a ghost, making the cemetery look particularly eerie.
But Qin Cheng leaned in front of the tombstone, but he felt a sense of warmth and security.
This is Grandpa's grave.
Today is Grandpa's death day. Three years ago today, it was also such a dark night, and he couldn't see his fingers, and he never knocked on his grandfather's door again-grandpa's cultivation went crazy, his skills were scattered, and he died.
Just before that day, he was the darling of fate.
Because not only is his grandfather the second elder of the family, but he himself is also extremely talented, looking down on his peers in the entire family.
But from that day on, at the age of fifteen, he became an outcast of fate.
His life was like a cliff from the peak, and he began to go downhill, no, more precisely, a direct fall from the peak.
On the night of his grandfather's burial, he also suddenly went mad, his dantian exploded, his spiritual power did not exist at all, and the cultivation of his peers in the peer of the Peerless Dust family disappeared completely, becoming a veritable waste.
He has always felt that he should not go crazy, but in the face of the cruel reality that he has become a waste, he can't change it even if he is unwilling.
All he could do was lick the wounds that covered his body and mind alone.
From that day on, he became more and more reticent and withdrawn, and began to lock himself in his room all day and day, until today, three years later, almost everyone has forgotten about his existence.
Qin Cheng forgot how long it had been since he had walked out of the house, but he hadn't forgotten that today was Grandpa's death day.
So after dark, Qin Cheng came to his grandfather's grave like a ghost, kowtowed three times respectfully, and then sat down against the tombstone, just like when he was a child, he leaned on his grandfather's leg against his broad chest.
He had never seen his parents since he was a child, and his deepest memories of childhood were like this: sitting and listening to his grandfather tell all kinds of strange stories.
The night was already deep, and the wind was stronger, blowing trees and weeds and Qin Cheng's robe rattling.
Vaguely, Qin Cheng seemed to hear someone talking, he listened to it with his ears sideways, but his ears were full of the wind like ghosts crying wolf.
He thought he was hallucinating, and he returned to his original position.
But after a while, the voice came again, and much closer, and he heard it clearly.
"Qin, Yuan, Jiang, you wolf-hearted brute! You can't die well!"
Qin Cheng sat up straight, and many questions flashed in his heart: "Qin Yuanjiang, the third elder, the two-star spirit emperor who rose like a meteor, the number one powerhouse in the family, who scolded him?"
At this time, another person's voice came: "Haha, Great Elder, you are right. I'm a brute, I'm not human anymore. Haha, I'm not human anymore...... Woo woo woo" The voice of the third elder Qin Yuanjiang laughing first and then crying came, and the voice was sharp and piercing.
"Great Elder, Qin Yuanhai, what's going on, why are the two of them arguing here?"
Qin Cheng's eyes became flexible, and he slowly stood up with the tombstone and walked in the direction where the voice came from.
"I can't believe that the vampire is you!
Great Elder Qin Yuanhai's voice came.
"Woo woo, Great Elder, I don't want to, I don't want to, but if I don't do this, I'm going to die. I'm afraid of death, I'm afraid of death, I don't want to die!" the third elder Qin Yuanjiang cried out nervously.
The vampire turned out to be the Third Elder Qin Yuanjiang? Qin Cheng was taken aback and slowed down. In his impression, Qin Yuanjiang has always been a gentle, kind and gentle elder, how could he become a vampire?
Although he rarely goes out of the house, he has vaguely heard about vampires.
In recent months, a vampire has appeared near the family, and dozens of people have died from it, leaving almost everyone in the family at risk.
If it weren't for hearing the Third Elder Qin Yuanjiang admit it now, Qin Cheng would never have thought that it was him.
"You devil!brute!bastard!I know, Yuan Shan and Yuan Yan must have died at your hands too!" The Great Elder's angry scolding came.
Qin Cheng stopped suddenly, held his breath, his eyes widened - his grandfather's name was Qin Yuanshan.
"Hahaha, yes, they all deserve to die, so I killed them. Qin Yuanshan, he actually wanted to tell you about me eating the spirit pill, and he wanted to put my family law to death! He should die! So I killed him! Hahaha......
Qin Cheng felt his heart slammed into a knife, and the huge pain made his whole body tremble—his grandfather was actually killed, and the person who killed him turned out to be Qin Yuanjiang, who looked gentle and kind all day long, and Qin Yuanjiang, who cared for him during his grandfather's funeral!
The conversation continued, but Qin Cheng listened vaguely, this sudden cruel truth was about to tear his mind apart.
"As for Yuan Yan, he deserves to die even more! If he had helped me refine the Spirit Pill, I wouldn't have become a vampire! Not only did he not refine it for me, but he also destroyed my last Spirit Pill, he should be damned! Damn it! Damn it-" The Third Elder Qin Yuanjiang screamed violently, looking like madness.
"Damn it, you! You brute! You can't die well!" Great Elder Qin Yuanhai scolded sadly.
"I can't die, Grand Elder. I'm afraid of death, Great Elder. Yes...... It's uncomfortable to die, I can't stand it anymore, I'm about to die, let me drink your blood, Great Elder, let me drink your blood, otherwise I'll die......" Third Elder Qin Yuanjiang's voice suddenly became painful and miserable, sharp as a ghost's scream.
"Ah!" Great Elder Qin Yuanhai let out a miserable scream, and then a gurgling swallowing sound sounded.
After a while, the wind slowly became louder again, and Qin Cheng finally recovered his senses from this unacceptable truth, and looked in the direction where the gurgling sound came from—there, the third elder was gulping down the blood of the elder.
This voice made Qin Cheng feel terrified, making him feel afraid, but the hatred that had already occupied his entire chest and mind made his body walk uncontrollably in the direction where the voice came from.
"Who?" the Third Elder suddenly exclaimed.
Qin Cheng rushed to the third elder, and there was an idea in his mind - kill him and avenge his grandfather!
This is his only thought at this time, and it is also his last thought.
In the darkness he vaguely saw a pale hand lightning to his chest, and then he felt himself fly out like a kite with a broken string, flew far away and fell to the ground like a broken sack, and then a darkness different from the darkness of the night engulfed his world, and made his consciousness completely disappear.
I don't know how long it has been, it seems like a moment, and it seems like 10,000 years.
In a daze, Qin Cheng heard someone shouting his name.
Qin Cheng tried to open his eyes, but his eyelids were too heavy for him to open.
"Qin Cheng, wake up. Qin Cheng?" The voice became clearer.
This voice is somewhat familiar, as if I have heard it somewhere?
Whose voice is it?
Suddenly, a middle-aged man's gentle and kind face appeared in his mind, and then this face became hideous and terrifying, stained with blood, and screamed "Let me drink your blood" in a terrible scream, biting his neck fiercely......
"Ahh
"Startle me! You're finally awake, and after you fainted, you made me and the Great Elder so anxious. Your grandfather just had an accident, and you can't afford any more accidents. Qin Yuanjiang, who was dressed in a white robe, sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Qin Cheng with a worried expression.
Qin Cheng stared at the face in front of him that looked gentle and kind, but made him extremely hateful - Qin Yuanjiang, the murderer of his grandfather!
I'm going to kill him and avenge my grandfather - Qin Cheng's eyes turned red, and he rushed towards Qin Yuanjiang with a desperate look.
Qin Yuanjiang was startled, dodged in an instant, stood on the side of the bed and looked at Qin Cheng in disbelief, and shouted softly: "Qin Cheng, what are you doing!"
Qin Cheng was already filled with hatred, how could he listen to this, and rushed towards Qin Yuanjiang again without saying a word.
As soon as Qin Yuanjiang stretched out his hand, he restrained Qin Cheng, and then threw him back on the bed with a wave of his hand.
"Qin Cheng, calm down!" Qin Yuanjiang shouted with a frown, then squinted his eyes and looked at Qin Cheng thoughtfully.
Thrown back on the bed and hit his head, Qin Cheng sobered up a lot, although there was a monstrous hatred in his heart, but he also had a doubt, wasn't he killed by Qin Yuanjiang, how could he still be alive? Could it be that Qin Yuanjiang saved himself again?
Thinking of this, Qin Cheng stared at Qin Yuanjiang with hatred in his eyes, and asked coldly, "Why do you want to save me?"
"Well, you're just fainting from your grief. You won't have to be saved to wake up. Qin Yuanjiang shook his head and sighed, and then changed back to a sad face.
After a pause, Qin Yuanjiang said gently: "I know that you and your grandfather are dependent on each other and have a deep relationship, and I can't accept the fact that your grandfather died. To be honest, I couldn't accept the unexpected death of the Second Elder. But it has come to this, so let your grief be good, and don't hurt yourself too much in grief. I don't think your grandfather's spirit in heaven would want to see you like that. Now that you are awake, go and accompany your grandfather, and see him for the last time, and he will be buried in another hour. ”
Grandpa, accompany the spirit, last time, and be buried in another hour?
Qin Cheng frowned tightly, puzzled, hasn't Grandpa been dead for three years......?
Suddenly, as if he realized something, he stared at his fist with wide eyes, and then swung it violently.
Qin Yuanjiang was startled again, his eyes instantly became fierce, but seeing that Qin Cheng didn't want to attack him, his gaze immediately became gentle again, and he said to Qin Cheng: "I'll go to the mourning hall first." Hurry over and accompany the spirits. ”
With that, he turned and walked out of the room.
Qin Cheng didn't hear Qin Yuanjiang's words at all. He looked down at his fist, and his heart pounded faster and faster--spiritual power!
An extremely bold guess appeared in his mind - he was reborn!
