chewing dragon

Chapter 165 Eclipse
Among the five strange fishes, the biggest one is always more than three feet long and is located in the middle of the painting scroll.

The other four are much smaller, no more than one or two feet long, surrounding the big fish, and the smaller they are, the closer they are to the edge of the scroll.

Qi Jingzhi raised his eyes and saw that these strange fishes had the same appearance except for their different sizes.

Each strange fish has a head like a dragon but no horns and thorns, with black and yellow scales on its body, skin and no flesh under the scales, and four feet like tiger claws.

Although there are also scales on a pointed tail, the end has no forks. It looks neither like a dragon nor like a fish, but more like a tiger's tail.

On the right side of the scroll, there are four characters clearly written: "Picture of Chi Tiger Fish."

There is no seal and date at the end of the cursive, only a rather weird name written alone: ​​"Ji Jiu I."

The four characters at the beginning of the scroll are simple, smooth, and well-structured, revealing a strong and ancient meaning, while the three characters at the end of the scroll are written with ups and downs, vigor and majesty, quite a bit of madness.

Cui's old servant got up from the ground, sat down with his back against the overturned painting vat, and still held Zhu'er tightly in his arms.

He took a heavy breath, glanced at Qi Jingzhi who was standing quietly at the side, then opened his mouth and bit his index finger, squeezing out a bright red drop of blood.

With a ticking sound, the blood drops fell on the yellowed painting paper. The strange thing is that it didn't blend in with the painting paper. Instead, it rolled a few times and stopped at the edge of the painting scroll.

Vaguely, there seemed to be an invisible ripple on the scroll.

The next moment, the goby that was the smallest and closest to the blood bead flicked its tail like a living thing, slammed its head upwards, and poked its nostrils out of the paper.

It put its nostrils close to the blood bead and sniffed it. It became a little agitated obviously, and it was about to make a move, but it was suddenly bumped aside by another similar one with a slightly larger head.

Immediately afterwards, the whole picture scroll was messed up, and the five tiger fishes, which were obviously only drawn on the drawing paper, rolled and collided rapidly, stirring up the seawater to become more turbulent.

After a fierce and short fight, the largest goby squeezed the best position, poked out its nostril triumphantly, and sniffed near the blood bead.

However, it just sniffed, then shook its head in great disappointment, turned around and dived back into the paper, and lazily swam back to the center of the scroll, where it froze.

Next, the remaining four gobies went up to try one after another according to the results of the battle, but after a while, three more were turned into dead objects one after another, leaving only the shortest and closest one.

It swam around the blood bead twice, suddenly bumped its body violently out of the paper, struggled to break free with half of its mouth, and swallowed the blood bead in one gulp.

Not in a hurry to dive back to the paper, the goby leaned its mouth against the paper and waited for a few breaths, then suddenly opened its mouth again and spit out a black and yellow bubble.

There was a muffled puff, and the bubbles that floated in front of the old servant suddenly burst, releasing a trace of black-yellow evil spirit, which looked the same as those that enveloped Zhu'er at this moment.

"Your alien tiger is actually of the water type?"

The ghost boy who hadn't opened his mouth for a long time exclaimed, and Zhu'er's eyes widened, and he suddenly said: "No wonder I have the master's secret spell on me, but I can't break free!"

Cui's old servant didn't pay attention to it, just stretched out his hand casually, drew the evil spirit over, and then slapped Zhu'er, and then dripped water into the sea, and the tiger spirits of the same root and origin could no longer be separated from each other.

Qi Jingzhi was secretly amazed when he saw it, and thought to himself that this is the secret method of Cui's absorbing Hu Sha that the old servant said earlier.

It is really extraordinary and mysterious to eat like this.

Look at that tiger fish again, after swallowing blood and vomiting evil spirits, it seems that it is still not satisfied. It still exposes its mouth and nose to the outside of the paper, cocking its nose and inhaling continuously. in the meaning.

Cui's old servant stared at it for a long while, then suddenly reached out and brought his bitten index finger to the tiger fish's mouth.

The next moment, this strange fish, like a dragon or a tiger, inhaled violently, suddenly seemed to be crazy, opened and closed its mouth full of steel teeth, and bit the old servant Cui's index finger tightly.

Immediately, the bright red blood came out, and flowed into the mouth of the tiger fish along the fingers, and was swallowed by it.

During this process, Cui's old servant didn't even frown, but slowly raised his index finger very carefully.

As a result, the goby, which was biting its finger tightly and refused to let go, was pulled out bit by bit, leaving only its long thin tail on the paper.

Not long after, as more and more blood poured into the belly of the fish, the greedy goby seemed to have finally had enough to eat, and also realized that he was about to be caught out of the paper, so he let go without hesitation. Opened his mouth.

It fell straight back onto the paper, swam around twice happily, and soon froze as well.

At the same time, a black and yellow scale fell off its body, leaving alone outside the drawing paper.

Cui's old servant chuckled, looked at Zhu'er, who was in her arms with wide-eyed eyes and a face full of greed, and then at Qi Jingzhi who stood silently, immediately picked up the scale and put it in his mouth, crunching it. Crunch it to pieces, then swallow it all.

Fish eat people, and people eat fish.

All of a sudden, the aura around the old servant seemed to be adding fuel to the fire, and it suddenly became vigorous, and a newborn, pure and evil aura came out of his body.

The next moment, Cui's old servant suddenly raised his head, stared at the young swordsman beside him and sneered, "Do you see clearly?"

Qi Jingzhi frowned when he heard the words, he really didn't know why the other party showed Cui's secret to himself, an outsider, could it be that he was really crazy?

Even through the mask of the red ghost, Cui's old servant seemed to be able to guess what the young man was thinking, and said with a smile: "A Chi tiger fish also has Chi Sha, Hu Sha and Hai Sha in the water attributes. The branch of the family in Daqi is the lineage of Husha, which is not a secret among the Shengjiang family."

"Even this seemingly mysterious "Picture of Chi Tiger Fish" is actually not a great treasure. Mrs. Cui still has a lot of it in her hand. But if you want to exchange blood for evil spirits like I just did, you still have to get rid of it." There are two conditions!"

"One is Cui's unique heart bone. The chi bones get the Chi Sha, the tiger bones get the Tiger Sha, and the fish bones get the Hai Sha!"

"Secondly, it must be the authentic blood of the Cui family, or the Cui family's permission is required to do things. Outsiders do not have this permission, and they can't even achieve it, and they don't even think about exchanging evil spirits. Even if this painting If you grab the picture, you can only enjoy it as an ordinary calligraphy and painting."

Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi understood.

He didn't covet Cui's secret method at all, not to mention that he had already achieved the heart of the angry crane. Fanxia practiced and chose the spirit of pine, cypress and Jiamu, which obviously didn't go well with Cui's unique water genus, tiger sha. It was also because of this that the other party would speak out without hesitation.

Back then, Qi Jingzhi also heard Deng Fuqing say that without the permission of Xuandu Guanzhu, no one in this world could achieve his heart with the "Xian Yu Jing".

He only thought it was miraculous at the time, but afterwards he couldn't understand it.

At this time, I heard that the Cui family also has such mysterious means, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask the old man, how to do this so-called not allowing outsiders to cultivate their hearts, and how to do it when granting permission. Achieved?"

Hearing this, Cui's old servant immediately showed a sneer, and said in a low voice: "The old man is just a lackey of Cui's sect, do you think... someone will tell me the real secret of the survival of this family?"
