Xu Congyi didn't intend to sit and wait for death. She went back to her room to drink some water and bought a small electric baton from the space and put it in her pocket. She was afraid that the Taoist priest might do something to hurt her and her family. The electric baton was small and easy to use when there was danger. She also found some yellow paper and dipped it in lye water to draw a big turtle and put it on the table to dry.

In the yard, the Taoist priest pretended to be mysterious and took out a stack of talisman papers. When Xu Congyi came out of the house, a lot of talismans had been pasted all over the yard. Xu Congyi stood aside, suppressing his anger.

Suddenly, Xu Congyi felt herself being embraced in a warm embrace. She looked up and met her grandmother's loving gaze. Looking back, her grandfather, mother, and Aunt Zhao were all standing behind her.

Xu Congyi knew that the Taoist priest was a liar, but this was the feudal ancient times. Although Li Dahua hit the Taoist priest with a broom, she was also afraid that her family would say they didn't believe her, but would plant the seeds of doubt in their hearts. So when she came out of the house just now, she didn't stand by the Xu family, wanting to wait until she could expose the liar's deception in person. But now the whole family came to her side, telling Xu Congyi with practical actions that they believed in her.

Xu Cong looked around, but didn't see Xu the Hunter. "Where's my dad?"

"He's gone to do some serious work. You'll know when he comes back soon," Xu's mother patted Xu Congyi's shoulder to reassure her.

The Taoist priest over there had already pasted the talismans. Seeing that the Xu family members were standing with Xu Congyi, he snorted coldly and said, "I advise you to stay away from the fox fairy. Once I reveal her true appearance, she might eat you directly."

The Taoist priest is very confident, and basically everyone who has seen his moves will be afraid.

The Taoist priest placed candles, incense sticks, etc. on the table, and pretended to light three incense sticks, muttering something.

"Girl, you stand there, and the rest of you come over here and stand behind me. I will show you the prototype of this fox fairy!"

Xu Congyi comforted his family in a low voice, "It's okay, you guys go ahead, I know all their tricks, just wait and see how I can see through them."

Xu's mother, old man Xu, Li Dahua and Aunt Zhao stood behind the Taoist priest. When the Taoist priest saw them coming, he showed a proud look, poured a packet of powder into the bowl of water, took out a piece of yellow paper, and placed it in front of Xu Congyi.

"Alright!"

The Taoist priest took a sip of the freshly mixed water and sprayed the water onto the yellow paper with his mouth. A red fox gradually appeared on the yellow paper.

"I have already seen through your true identity, are you still being stubborn?"

Seeing that no one spoke, the Taoist thought that his goal had been achieved, and he became even more proud. "I have made this fox demon show her true form. I advise you to find a rope to tie her up. This fox demon is not easy to deal with. If you beg me, I can still perform a ritual to exorcise the demon for you. As for the price, as long as you beg me, I can forgive the past and give you a discount. How about twenty taels!"

Xu Congyi took a big step and walked directly to the Taoist priest, tearing the yellow paper into pieces. "I am a fox demon, and you are a turtle spirit! A big turtle spirit!"

The Taoist priest was so angry that he jumped up and down, "You fox demon, you refuse to repent. I will capture you and make you get out of this girl's body. You say I am a turtle spirit, what evidence do you have?!"

This sentence hit the mark on Xu Congyi's mind. She turned around and went back to her room to get the yellow paper she had just drawn with lye water. The watermark on the paper had already dried. Xu Congyi took the paper out and said, "Evidence? Since you call this revealing your true colors, then I'll make you reveal your true colors!"

Not caring about the dirt, Xu Congyi directly picked up the Taoist's water bowl, tilted his head back and poured all the water into his mouth. Then, he imitated the Taoist and sprayed all the water on the yellow paper. Soon a red turtle appeared on the paper.

"How's it going, you bastard, oh no, you big bastard."

Xu Congyi showed the yellow paper to everyone, explaining the trick. "This is a trick. First, use a brush dipped in lye water to draw a shape. After the water marks dry, the drawn shape will disappear and it will be the same as ordinary yellow paper, but the lye will still remain on the paper. At this time, just spray it with turmeric water. The lye will turn red when it meets the turmeric water, so the pattern will appear again, and it will be red."

The Taoist thought something was not good. He thought that the people in the village were not well educated and did not understand the principle of the magic trick, so they would be fooled by it. However, he did not expect to be discovered directly. He did not even bother to pack up his things and planned to run away.

But before he could leave the courtyard, Hunter Xu, the village chief and a group of villagers blocked him at the door. "Want to run? Not that easy!" It turned out that what Aunt Zhao had just whispered in Li Dahua's ear was to ask Hunter Xu to quickly call someone to report to the police, and to ask a few strong men to block the door and not let the Taoist priest run away. The Taoist priest had already deceived villagers from several villages, and the government was worried that they could not catch him.

Hunter Xu and a group of villagers surrounded the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest had no choice but to beg for mercy, saying that he just wanted to cheat some money for wine.

Hunter Xu was furious. "Cheating people for money to drink? You said my daughter was a fox demon and asked us to perform a ritual to get rid of her. I think you want to kill my child. You old Taoist priest, I must beat you to death!" As he said that, he swung his fist at the fake Taoist priest.

Xu Congyi and the village chief pulled my father back in time. Hunter Xu had been hunting for many years and had great strength. With this punch, even the reasonable answer might become unreasonable.

"Dad, don't be impulsive. My daughter is fine. There is no need to do it yourself. Let's wait for the government to deal with him."

The village chief also agreed with Xu Congyi's opinion that the swindler should be sent to the government for handling, otherwise who knows what other troubles the swindler might cause.

Hunter Xu thought his daughter and the village chief were right, but he was still not satisfied, so he kicked the fake Taoist priest in the leg. "I've sent someone to report to the authorities. You should be arrested and thrown into jail for a few years!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the villagers who had gone to report to the authorities came with the government's constables. The constables recognized the fake Taoist priest at a glance. Villagers from several villages had already come to report to the authorities. This fake Taoist priest was a swindler, saying that he could slay demons and turn stones into gold. He had deceived many people. By the time the villagers realized they had been deceived, several days had often passed, because the swindler was good at disguise and would change his attire every time he arrived in a village. The government had searched for a long time but could not catch him. This time, when the villagers of Liushuzhuang Village came to report to the authorities, they rushed over at full speed.

Li Dahua then realized why her good sister was so calm when encountering this matter and even asked her to ask her husband to report to the police. It turned out that she had known that this man was a liar for a long time, so she asked her how she found out.

It turned out that Aunt Zhao's husband was the chief constable of the county government. He often mentioned to Aunt Zhao that there was a swindler who used magic tricks to cheat many people. So when she saw the fake Taoist priest today, she felt that he was most likely the swindler described by her husband, so she told Li Dahua to report to the authorities.

At this time, a sharp-eyed constable saw Aunt Zhao, and hurried over to greet her. After a few words of greeting, he took the swindler away.
