Chapter 41 A Crane Standing Among Chickens
"These two resentful infants are truly extraordinary."
Yang Jian watched as the two resentful infants flew back into the courtyard, his brows furrowing slightly.
An ordinary vengeful infant, in broad daylight, would have its soul unstable from being startled by the crowing of a rooster.
The constant crowing could terrify it.
Because the crowing of a rooster naturally contains a sound that can ward off evil spirits.
The effect is even greater when used during the day.
However, although these two vengeful infants were affected, they did not dissipate, which is clearly unusual.
"Second Young Master, what should we do next?"
"Should we just barge in?"
Jin Rong looked at Yang Jian and asked.
He had absolutely no experience dealing with such filthy things and could only wait and see how Yang Jian would arrange things.
From Yang Jian's arrangements with the Meiyu Gang to his current use of a rooster to scare away the vengeful infant, all these methods prove that Yang Jian truly has ways to deal with unclean things.
At this time, following orders is the best option.
"Don't rush in. The vengeful infant can fly, but the people inside can't fly away."
Yang Jian was not in a hurry.
The state of a ghost is different from that of a living person, and the methods they can use are also different.
The old sorceress is a living person, but she can't fly out of this courtyard.
Prepare everything thoroughly before taking it all in one fell swoop.
"Have someone light the torches that were brought over, one for each person, before you enter this courtyard."
Yang Jian knew very well that although the rooster's crowing had not eliminated the two vengeful infants, it had still had an effect!
The fact that the blood color on the vengeful infant's body has faded is good proof of this.
The vengeful infant beside the old sorceress was rather fierce, but Yang Jian had prepared quite a few things beforehand, which he hadn't all taken out just now.
"Xiao Ma, quickly take out the torches you brought, one for each person, and light them."
Upon hearing this, Jin Rong promptly arranged for people to go and do the work.
At this point, the more items you have to deal with that dirty stuff, the better.
Jin Rong also kept Yang Jian's preparations in mind, so that if he encountered these dirty things again in the future, he would have a way to deal with them instead of sitting and waiting to die.
After everyone finished preparing, they took torches, smashed down the wooden door, and forced their way into the courtyard.
The yard looked very deserted, overgrown with weeds, and the old objects were covered with weeds.
The only place that had been cleaned was the road leading to the house.
The ground was cleaned haphazardly and was not clean at all.
"Old hag, you openly cursed the second young master at the dock before, and now you've even injured my Meiyu Gang members."
"If you don't come out now, I'll burn this old house down and see if that water god you mentioned can save you."
After noticing Yang Jian's gaze, Jin Rong took the torch and threatened the old house.
With the rooster beside him, holding a torch, and Yang Jian nearby, Jin Rong felt much more at ease.
......
In the old house, the old sorceress looked through the window and saw what was happening below.
"I was still wondering which 'guest' it was, but it turns out it's Yang Erlang coming to cause trouble!"
The old sorceress clearly saw one of the people in the group in front of the old house.
She had seen Yang Jian before; his figure, appearance, posture, and temperament were all different from ordinary people.
He stood out from the crowd; he was easily recognizable at a glance.
She even made a voodoo doll for Yang Jian, engraving his name and address, but she hasn't let the vengeful spirit make a move yet. Logically, it shouldn't have come knocking on her door so quickly.
As for Yang Jian's ability to find her, she felt it was quite normal. As a prominent family in the county, it was easy for the Yang family to find someone.
"No, Yang Erlang came here because the water ghost curse on him has flared up again, and he wants me to help him alleviate the problem."
"Such a grand display might be a way to intimidate me."
After a moment's thought, an idea suddenly popped into the old sorceress's mind.
If Yang Jian was truly bothered by what she had said publicly before, he should have already caused her trouble.
Furthermore, she deliberately said that at the time, hoping to get Yang Jian to come and beg her, since Yang Jian really did have a problem, and she wasn't making it up.
She might not only get a lot of money then, but also have the chance to create a few more vengeful infants.
Although vengeful infants are against the natural order, they are extremely useful.
The old sorceress was getting on in years and no longer cared about the so-called harmony of heaven and earth.
"My old house can't withstand a fire, so I'd better go downstairs and talk to Yang Erlang first, and see how things go."
"If it's really as I think, it might be a good thing."
The old sorceress was well aware that what Jin Rong said was true.
After setting the fire, she couldn't hide in that old house for long.
Furthermore, if things were as she thought, it would save her the trouble of sending out the vengeful infant to attack Yang Jian.
"Second Young Master, I'm coming out now. Please don't let anyone burn the house down."
"What happened just now was a misunderstanding. I didn't know it was you, Second Young Master!"
The old sorceress stood at the upstairs window and hurriedly called out.
He then quickly walked downstairs and stood in front of the crowd.
The old woman had a hunched back and a kind smile on her face.
Her gaze swept over the group of people around Yang Jian, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.
Bringing so many people here, they really think highly of her.
However, thinking about the Divine Talisman Society, I understand why Yang Jian acted this way!
These scions of prominent families would not risk their lives alone in such a situation.
"Those two vengeful infants in your hands, did you create them yourself?"
Yang Jian's gaze turned cold when he saw the old sorceress.
He didn't see the two vengeful infants, but he could notice four white orbs of light appearing on the old sorceress's body.
He had seen these four white orbs of light on the vengeful infants before; there were two on each of them.
"The old woman happened to encounter these two wicked vengeful infants while she was exorcising evil spirits for someone, and she subdued them."
"This old woman isn't capable of making it herself."
The old sorceress, recalling the time Yang Jian had kicked her out, quickly denied it.
Yang Jian's ability to ask this question meant he must know something about the vengeful infant. The old sorceress naturally couldn't let Yang Jian know that she was the one who did it, otherwise there might be trouble.
A naturally formed vengeful infant can also disturb the peace of a region, and it's quite normal for someone like her to encounter one.
"If that's the case, why not get rid of these two vengeful infants completely?"
"People passing by your place felt a chill run down their spines and were quite uneasy; they all told me about it!"
Yang Jian did not believe the other party's nonsense, but he went along with it anyway.
If the old sorceress hands over the two vengeful infants, he will no longer cause her any trouble.
He could overlook the fact that people had spoken ill of him publicly before, because there are always gossipy women in any era, and you can't kill them all.
Of course, whether the Meiyu Gang causes trouble is beyond his control!
"Young Master is joking!"
"This vengeful infant is extremely rare. Someone like this old woman wouldn't be able to survive in this world without its protection."
"Young Master, are you looking for this old woman to resolve the curse?"
Upon hearing this, the old sorceress gave a dry laugh.
After saying a few words, he changed the subject and brought up the matter of the curse.
She sensed that Yang Jian had come because of the water ghost curse.
