Reborn in 79, the educated youth wife regretted her divorce.

Chapter 134: The fox's tail is finally showing.

As he spoke, he reached out to grab the chicken, duck, fish, and meat on the table.

Jiang Yang had seen through his trick long ago and said directly, "Wait!"

The old man paused slightly as he reached out his hand, looking at him with some displeasure.

Jiang Yang completely ignored his gaze and instead winked at a few villagers nearby.

The villagers immediately understood and quickly removed the offerings.

"Jiang Yang! What are you doing?!" Wang Fugui's face turned ashen.

"The Taoist priest has worked so hard to exorcise evil spirits for us, and you won't even let him eat something? This is a great disrespect to the Taoist priest!"

Several villagers chimed in.

"Yes, Jiang Yang, let the Taoist priest have some! It's all from our own family anyway, we're happy to give it to him!"

"Yes, yes, the Taoist priest works so hard!"

The old man stroked his beard, looking like he thought the young man was teachable.

"I have exhausted a great deal of energy in this practice. The owner of this factory must give me ten thousand yuan! Otherwise, not only will the exorcism fail, but I will also suffer a backlash!"

Jiang Yang sneered.

This old man has finally shown his true colors!

"Taoist priest, you're asking for a ridiculous ten thousand yuan right off the bat? I thought this exorcism would involve some kind of miraculous phenomenon! I could do that kind of exorcism trick too!"

"What? You can do that too?" Wang Fugui exclaimed as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"Jiang Yang, don't brag! You think you can do what the Taoist priest does?"

Although he knew the old Taoist priest was a bit mystical, those moves he just made were something no ordinary person could do!

Jiang Yang ignored him and walked straight to the old Taoist priest, shoving him aside.

The old Taoist priest stumbled and almost lost his balance.

"What...what are you doing?" The old Taoist priest panicked.

Jiang Yang ignored him and casually pulled a piece of yellow paper from his pocket.

"Sir, please don't worry,"

He looked at the old Taoist priest with a smile, "I'll let you see how well I did this exorcism later."

After saying that, he took the yellow paper and waved it around a few times in a very serious manner.

Then he stopped what he was doing, pinched the yellow paper between two fingers, and rubbed it hard.

With a "whoosh," the yellow paper burst into flames!

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Yang also picked up the peach wood sword and slashed it fiercely at the burning yellow paper!

"Look, I know this trick too."

Jiang Yang clapped his hands, looking relaxed.

"This……"

"What's going on?"

"Jiang Yang too..."

The villagers were all dumbfounded.

This kid actually knows all of these things?

Seeing their shocked expressions, Jiang Yang smiled slightly: "This isn't an exorcism at all! He's a fraud!"

He paused, then continued, "The reason he can do this is ultimately because he's treated this paper! It will burn with just a little friction! It's just a chemical method!"

"what?"

"So that's it!"

"That old bastard actually lied to us!"

The villagers suddenly realized what was happening, and their gazes toward the old Taoist priest turned hostile.

When Wang Fugui saw that the old Taoist priest had been exposed, his heart sank.

What should I do now?

He originally wanted to take this opportunity to thoroughly humiliate Jiang Yang.

It seems now that there's absolutely no chance!

Jiang Yang turned to look at him, his tone icy: "Village Chief Wang, the person you brought here turned out to be a swindler! I wonder if you did this on purpose?"

"me……"

Wang Fugui's face turned ashen, and he stammered for a long time without being able to utter a complete sentence.

"I didn't know this Taoist priest was a fraud! I... he cheated me out of a lot of money! I... I'll chase him away right now!"

Jiang Yang looked at his guilty look and sneered.

"No need, I've already called the police. I reckon the officers have been watching for quite a while now."

As soon as he finished speaking, several policemen walked in from outside the crowd.

The square-faced policeman in the lead glanced at the mess of offerings on the ground and said with some disdain, "What era are we living in? People still do these superstitious tricks? I've really learned something new!"

He waved his hand dismissively: "Take him away!"

Without saying a word, several policemen stepped forward and dragged the old Taoist priest away.

The old Taoist priest tried to struggle, but a glare from the policeman made him immediately behave.

Wang Fugui watched helplessly as the old Taoist priest was taken away, feeling incredibly frustrated.

He paid a high price to hire this old Taoist priest.

He originally planned to use the pretext of exorcising evil spirits to teach Jiang Yang a lesson and make some extra money.

Who knew that Jiang Yang would ruin it!

The cooked duck just flew away like that!

He was feeling indignant when suddenly a thought flashed through his mind.

Although the old Taoist priest's trick was exposed, that piece of yellow paper that could spontaneously combust still seemed to have some tricks up its sleeve.

If he could learn this skill, wouldn't he be able to make a fortune?

Thinking of this, Wang Fugui suppressed his anger and forced a smile onto his face.

"Jiang Yang, you did the right thing! This kind of feudal superstition should have been swept into the trash heap long ago! We can't be fooled by these swindlers!"

He led the applause, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Everyone, give Jiang Yang a round of applause! Jiang Yang has rid our village of a scourge; he's a great hero of our village!"

Under his influence, the sparse applause gradually grew into enthusiastic applause.

Although the villagers were still a little confused, they all applauded after hearing what the village chief had said.

Jiang Yang was taken aback by the sudden praise.

What's gotten into Wang Fugui this time?

“Jiang Yang,” Wang Fugui walked up to him with a smile, “you just said that the old Taoist priest used chemical methods? Could you explain to everyone what’s going on? Let us learn something so we can be more careful in the future!”

Everyone pricked up their ears, watching Jiang Yang with curiosity, waiting for him to unravel the mystery.

Jiang Yang smiled slightly, glanced around, and slowly said, "Does everyone really want to know?"

"Yes!" everyone answered in unison.

"Actually..."

Jiang Yang deliberately dragged out his words, whetting everyone's appetite.

"I don't quite understand the principle behind this either."

Upon hearing this, Wang Fugui was immediately disappointed.

“However…” Jiang Yang changed the subject, “Even if I understand, I won’t just say it out loud.”

He paused, his tone becoming serious: "Think about it, if I make this technique public, what if some unscrupulous people learn it and, like that old Taoist priest, go around swindling and cheating? Wouldn't that harm even more people?"

As he spoke, his gaze drifted intentionally or unintentionally toward Wang Fugui.

Wang Fugui felt a chill run down his spine as he was stared at.

"So," Jiang Yang continued, "if we want to know the secret, we still have to rely on ourselves. Let our children study hard, get into university, learn real skills, and then come back and tell everyone. That's the right way!"

"We cannot rely on these crooked methods, and we must not give these swindlers any opportunity to take advantage of us!"
