Among the five strange fish, the largest one is always more than three feet long and is located in the center of the picture.
The remaining 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 except for the different sizes of these strange fish, their appearance was the same.
Each strange fish has a head like a dragon without horns and spines. Its body is covered with black and yellow scales. There is skin but no flesh under the scales, and its four legs are like tiger claws. Chinese website
Although a pointed tail is also covered with scales, the end is not bifurcated. It looks neither like a dragon nor a fish, but more like a tiger's tail.
Four words are clearly written on the right side of the scroll: "Picture of Chigoby Fish."
There is no seal or date at the end of the volume, only a rather strange name written alone: "Ji Jiu me."
The four characters at the beginning of the volume are pristine, mao-like, and well-structured, revealing a rich and ancient meaning. The three characters at the end of the volume are written with ups and downs of mood, vigorous and majestic, and a bit crazy.
Cui's old servant got up from the ground, sat down with his back against the overturned painting vat, and did not forget to hold Zhu'er tightly in his arms.
He took a deep breath, glanced at Qi Jingzhi, who was standing quietly aside, then opened his mouth, bit his index finger, and squeezed out a drop of bright red blood.
With a ticking sound, the blood droplets fell on the yellowed drawing paper. Strangely, they did not blend with the drawing paper. Instead, they rolled around for a few times and stopped at the edge of the scroll.
Vaguely, there seemed to be an invisible ripple spreading across the scroll.
The next moment, the goby fish, which was the smallest and closest to the blood bead, flicked its tail like a living creature, slammed its head upwards, and poked its nostrils out of the paper.
It put its nostrils close to the blood beads and sniffed it. It became obviously a little restless, and when it was about to make a move, it was unexpectedly hit to the side by another slightly larger creature of the same kind.
Immediately afterwards, the entire painting was in chaos. Five goby fish that were clearly just drawn on the paper rolled and collided rapidly, causing the sea water to become increasingly turbulent and agitated.
After a fierce and short fight, the largest tiger fish occupied the best position. It proudly stuck out its nostrils and sniffed near the blood beads.
However, it just sniffed, then shook its head in great disappointment, turned around and dived back into the paper, lazily swam back to the center of the scroll, and stopped motionless.
Next, the remaining four gobies went up to try one after another according to the result of the fight. However, within a moment, three more fish turned into dead objects one after another, leaving only the shortest and closest one.
It swam around the blood bead twice, then suddenly bumped its body hard out of the paper, struggled to free itself with half a mouth, and swallowed the blood bead in one gulp.
Instead of rushing back to the paper, the goby put its mouth against the paper and waited for a few breaths. Suddenly it opened its mouth again and spit out a black and yellow bubble.
There was a muffled sound, and the bubbles that floated in front of the old servant burst suddenly, releasing a trace of black and yellow evil aura, which looked the same as the one that enveloped Zhu'er at this time.
"You, this strange tiger monster, is actually a water type?"
The demon boy who had not spoken for a long time exclaimed in surprise, and Pearl's eyes widened as she suddenly said, "No wonder I can't break free even though I'm under the master's secret spell!"
Cui's old servant ignored it, but casually stretched out his hand to pull the evil spirit over, and then slapped it on Zhuer's body. This was like a drop of water hiding in the ocean, and the tiger evil spirits with the same origin were no longer distinguishable from each other.
Qi Jingzhi was secretly amazed when he saw it, and thought that this was Cui's secret method of absorbing the tiger evil that the old servant said earlier.
Such a meal of rosy food is really extraordinary and mysterious.
Look at the tiger fish again. After swallowing blood and vomiting, it seems that it is still unsatisfied. It still exposes its mouth and nose outside the paper, quivers its nose and keeps inhaling, opening and closing its mouth accordingly, without any intention of going back to painting. in the meaning.
Cui's old servant looked at it intently for a while, then suddenly reached over and put his bitten index finger to the goby's mouth.
The next moment, this strange fish like a dragon and a tiger inhaled sharply, and suddenly it seemed like it was going crazy. Its mouth full of steel teeth suddenly opened and closed, and it bit hard.
It stuck on the index finger of Cui's old servant.
The bright red blood immediately came out and flowed into the goby fish's mouth along the fingers, and it swallowed every bit of 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 fish, which was biting its finger and refusing 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 entered the fish's belly, the greedy tiger fish seemed to have finally eaten its fill. It also realized that it was about to be fished out of the paper, and immediately relaxed without hesitation. Open your mouth.
It fell straight back to the paper, swam happily twice, and soon became stagnant as well.
At the same time, a black and yellow scale fell off its body, leaving it alone outside the drawing paper.
Cui's old servant chuckled lightly, looked at Zhu'er in his arms who had eyes wide open and a look of greed on his face, and then at Qi Jingzhi who was standing silently. He immediately picked up the scale and put it into his mouth, crunching I chewed it until it was smashed into pieces, and then swallowed it all.
Fish eat people, and people eat fish.
In an instant, the aura around the old servant seemed to be adding fuel to the fire. It suddenly became strong, and a new wave of pure evil energy 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: "Did you see clearly?"
Qi Jingzhi frowned when he heard this. He really didn't know why the other party wanted to show Cui's secret to an outsider like himself. Could it be that he was really crazy?
Even though he was wearing the red ghost mask, the old servant of the Cui family seemed to be able to guess what the young man was thinking. He chuckled and said, "A chigoby possesses the attributes of chi, tiger, and sea at the same time. Cui This branch of the clan in Daqi is the Husha lineage, which is not a secret in the Shengjiang Clan."
"Even this seemingly mysterious "Picture of Tiger Fish" is actually not a great treasure. Cui still has a lot of it in her hands. But if you want to exchange blood for evil spirit like I just did, you still need to There are two conditions!"
"One of them is the Cui family's unique soul. The chi bone is the chi evil spirit, the tiger bone is the tiger evil spirit, and the fish bone is the sea evil spirit!"
"Secondly, it is either the authentic bloodline of the Cui family, or it requires the permission of the Cui family to achieve something. Without such permission, outsiders cannot even achieve the goal, and there is no need to think about exchanging evil spirits. Even if this painting is Once you grab the picture, you can only appreciate it as ordinary calligraphy and painting."
Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi understood.
He had no intention of coveting the Cui family's secret method, not to mention that he had already achieved the heart and soul of the angry crane. He chose the Qi of pines, cypresses, armored wood, and Cui family's unique water attribute, which was obviously not compatible with the Cui family's water attribute. Maybe It is precisely because of this that the other party will tell the truth without any care.
At the beginning, Qi Jingzhi also heard Deng Fuqing say that without the permission of the Xuandu Monastery Master, no one in the world could achieve success with the "Immortal Feather Sutra".
He thought it was magical when he heard it, but he couldn't understand it afterwards.
At this time, he heard that the Cui family also had such mysterious means, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but ask: "I dare to ask my father-in-law, how can I do this so-called not allowing outsiders to cultivate the heart and bones, and how should I grant permission? Achieved?"
Hearing this, the old servant of the Cui family immediately sneered and said in a low voice: "I am just a lackey of the Cui family. Do you think... someone will tell me the real secrets that are related to the survival of the family?"
