Pi Xiu is a fiercely mythical animal which is depicted with the head of a dragon, horse’s body, little wings, a tail and without anus. Due to Pixiu defecated before toilet, thereby it angered the Jade Emperor, and therefore its anus was sealed up to avoid expelling of gold, silver and jewelry.

Myth or Real??????
Personally, i do own a small golden Tian Lu which i bought during my "BAD luck" from a tarrot reader in Cheras, KL. Whenever i go out, i do "talk" to it, well mostly i do forgotten- "Pi Xiu Pi Xiu, zhao chai jin bao", which means Pi Xiu please do bring me "wealth". I believed that it helps me in my studies as i realized myself are more concentrate in performing something. Furthermore, i do be "BRAVED" in expressing myself rather than kept quiet as i did years ago.
Hoooohoooo.... omg, where did i obtain these bad or good energies?? Well it's all depend on how a person view the situation.
Besides, it's prohibited from touching Pi Xiu's eyes, and its statue must be placed towards entrance (most preferably) or window.
