Origin 

​

One says that Pi-Xiu is the 9th son of the dragon and fed by money and treasure. It is ferocious that keeps all sorts of evil-doers away and responsible for safety in heaven. During one of Jade Emperor’s parties, Pi Xiu ate many treasures and defecated anywhere. Jade Emperor punishes it by removing its anus and sending it to the man’s world. Ever since then, the treasures that Pi-Xiu eats only went in but no ejectment, 只进不出 (Zhi Jin Bu Chu). Therefore, the Chinese see P Xiu as a guardian of wealth.
