The dog saw the goose for the first time on the night of the Ghost Festival. The park was sparsely populated, and it squatted alone in front of the trash can, watching the white figure coming out of the jungle, raised its head without looking sideways, and jumped into the water.
At that time, it had practiced ignorantly for many years. It didn't know that there were demons in this world, and it didn't know that it was not an ordinary Erha.
Until I heard the goose's immature but arrogant voice: "Hey, is this territory yours?"
After Gu Yu jumped into the water, she realized that someone was staring at her. When she turned around, she saw a dog standing up slowly beside the trash can.
The fur is smooth and looks majestic.
Gu Yu realized that this dog had a higher level of cultivation than herself, and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed in her heart. Fairies have always been territorial, and it is very serious that the place they have marked is occupied by others.
Gu Yu secretly sighed that she had let down her vigilance and didn't realize that there were other monsters beside her.
The slightly cool lake water overflowed the snow-white goose feathers, and perhaps she felt that she was not confident enough to speak like this. When she asked the dog, Gu Yu unconsciously transformed into a human form.
This is the first time she has appeared in front of others in this form since she can change form. Although it can only last for half an hour, Gu Yu feels that it is no problem to use it to support the stage.
She cleared her cough, covered her body with her white and soft wings, and was half floating in the water.
With the help of the street lamp, Erha saw clearly the appearance of the swan that suddenly turned into a human.
Better looking than anyone it's ever seen.
There are no adjectives in the concept of animals. When the swan Jing looked up at it, Erha felt that something was wrong with his heartbeat.
It couldn't speak at this time, and after seeing Gu Yu's transformation, it also transformed into a slender young man in a suit, and then stretched out his hand in a friendly manner.
It remembers that this is the human expression for shaking hands.
Gu Yu just asked if this is its territory, but who knew that the dog would also transform after her. At first, she thought that the opponent was preparing to attack, and the wings on her back were a little blown.
But when he saw its outstretched hand, he froze.
Is this... a handshake
Gu Yu was a little puzzled, stared at the young man in the suit for a while, and then walked out of the water.
The snow-white skirt was dragged on the ground, and the girl stopped about one meter away.
Erha wanted to grin, but his stiff face couldn't raise the corners of his lips, so he could only stumble and imitate human beings: "I, mine, friend."
Under the streetlights, the young man's handsome appearance appeared calm and stable, like those elites praised by everyone in the human world, but he spoke like a child.
Gu Yu blinked, barely understanding what he said. I understand that this Erha wants to make friends with me.
Thinking that this was his territory, if he made friends with him, he would be able to come here to soak in water by sneaking out of the group every day in the future.
Gu Yu had a small calculation in her heart, and after realizing that there was no threat on her face, she breathed a sigh of relief, and stretched out her hand slightly triumphantly to shake it:
"My name is Gu Yu. This is the name I gave myself. How about you?"
Erha was taken aback by the soft touch in his hands. In front of him was the delicate and proud face of the little swan, brighter than the stars in the sky.
Erha opened his mouth, but found that he had never thought of a name since he became conscious.
The touch in his hands had disappeared, and he couldn't hide his disappointment in his eyes. He looked at Gu Yu and shook his head slightly, but Gu Yu didn't mind.
Maybe it's because young and vigorous swans always have a bit of vanity.
She patted him on the shoulder, raised her head and told him: "It doesn't matter if you don't have a name, I'll get one for you. If you can ascend in the future, you will have a name."
In Gu Yu's heart, these goblins were born with the goal of ascension. Even though there have been no monsters who have come out of the test of heaven for many years, she is still full of confidence.
After thinking about it for a while, he said with some enthusiasm in his eyes: "Your name is Mu Xun."
"This is the name I thought of for my brother, but unfortunately he didn't use it."
She speaks proudly, like a little animal showing off her abilities. No, she was originally a little swan.
Thinking of this, Erha had a faint smile in his eyes. Following her in an unfamiliar language, she read the name again:
"Mu, Mu Xun."
"Right, that is it."
Gu Yu clapped her hands and smiled. She was arrogant and indifferent, but there was nothing abrupt about her smile. It's as if there is some fiery heat faintly exposed under the iceberg, which will only make people uneasy.
Mu Xun remembered his new name and felt tenderness in his heart.
Gu Yu still remembered the business: "I helped you choose a name, we are friends now, can I come to soak in the water more often at night?"
"Where I live there are too many geese and it's not comfortable at all."
Her eyes were shining brightly, but she tried to look serious on her face. Mu Xun only thought she was cute no matter what, and his heart was soft, so he couldn't help but nodded.
"Mine is, yours." This is the most complete sentence he said.
Gu Yu cheered in her heart, and her face brightened up again. After flapping her wings and clapping him, she jumped into the water without hesitation.
The little girl in human form turned into a swan again, playing freely in the lake.
A smile flashed across Mu Xun's eyes, and the corners of his stiff lips softened a little. When Gu Yu looked over, she slowly turned into a dog and squatted beside her.
It has been like this ever since.
Since getting Mu Xun's permission, Gu Yu has come here almost every night, secretly playing in the park for a while, and then happily soaking in the water.
There was only one more person in the park that originally only had Erha.
But Mu Xun didn't feel troubled at all, he had been alone for too long, and he only hoped that Gu Yu could come every day.
Under the leadership of the boisterous little swan, he gradually stopped being silent.
They practice together in the woods every day, and sometimes they go hunting together.
In the middle of the night, Gu Yu soaked in the water to rest, while Mu Xun stood by.
A goose and a dog gradually gained some fame in this area. A big demon came to trouble the two of them, and even said that he would take the swan as a child bride.
That was the first time Mu Xun got angry.
He was not old enough, and his demon power was not as good as that of the big demon, so he was beaten back to his original form. The bruised dog lay on the ground, but time and time again stretched its limbs, biting the legs and feet of the big monster with its mouth, and came back after being kicked away.
Until the sky was getting brighter, a figure appeared in the park.
A monster cannot be easily seen by humans, so the big monster had no choice but to let go of Gu Yu, cursed a few words and left.
The swan lay listlessly on the ground, a little uncomfortable. Erha heaved a sigh of relief, endured the pain in his limbs, got up dragging the blood, and brought the swan back to the nest.
That recuperation lasted for a full year.
Gu Yu just passed out at the time, but Erha was so serious that he couldn't change his form for a year and could only appear as a dog, but he didn't mind at all, and he still squatted by the lake every day watching Gu Yu soak in the water.
It was rare for Gu Yu to feel a little guilty, because the dog was injured because of something she caused. When she swam to the shore, she paused, thought for a while, and broke some branches and flowers from the trees to weave a garland.
When he came back, he tricked Erha into approaching it, and put it on with some embarrassment.
Mu Xun didn't expect that Gu Yu would give him this. He has been wandering alone all this time, and his heart that had become silent was slightly moved. It was as if he had received a response and was engulfed in great joy.
But he can't laugh.
Not as a human being, and certainly not now as a dog. Mu Xun suppressed the disappointment in his heart, shook his head and rubbed Gu Yu's palm, his eyes gradually became firm.
He suddenly realized that he wanted to protect Gu Yu.
Protect his cygnets.
It also means he needs to be strong. For the next day, Erha practiced desperately in places where Gu Yu could not see.
Perhaps because of his extraordinary talent, his cultivation has grown rapidly.
Those monsters who came to find fault later were all beaten back by him, and Gu Yu flapped her wings excitedly.
Mu Xun remembered the last time, when it beat off the only five-thousand-year-old goblin who came to challenge. Gu Yu said: "You are so powerful, you must be the first person to pass the test and ascend in such a long time."
Mu Xun gradually realized that he was indeed approaching the threshold of ascension.
Any monster that has reached this point must either win or die. What's more, his cultivation base was brought up by extremely fast cultivation, and his foundation is not solid.
Mu Xun sensitively guessed that his ascension might not be very good this time.
However, he was still worried about Gu Yu.
His swan was still young, and if he died, those outside dangers would be enough to tear her apart. What's more, she's still so pretty.
After Gu Yu said this, he just pursed his lips, rubbed her hair carefully, and didn't answer.
Mu Xun didn't want to ascend, no matter whether he was alive or dead during ascension, he didn't want to. He wanted to stay with Gu Yu all the time. But the daily growth of cultivation could no longer be suppressed.
He can only procrastinate day by day.
Because of the skyrocketing cultivation base, he couldn't stay in a place with insufficient aura. Gradually, Mu Xun's five internal organs began to fail, starting from the heart, little by little.
But he has always been expressionless and dull, maybe he deliberately wanted to hide it, but Gu Yu never noticed it, and just practiced and played around like before.
In this way, he dragged his body for another ten years.
Finally, when Gu Yu's cultivation level improved, she became a big monster that no one dared to provoke.
That day, after Gu Yu finished her training, she was about to come over excitedly and tell Mu Xun that she felt the call of the will of heaven, but when she came to the small nest, she found that there was no one there.
The park was deserted, and there was not even a hint of evil spirit.
Mu Xun left.
For the first time in more than ten years, he left.
Gu Yu thought that he just happened to go out, so she would come every day, but gradually, she found that Mu Xun had really left.
—The dog left without saying goodbye.
The elders around told her that maybe Mu Xun had ascended. Gu Yu then practiced more seriously, and she also wanted to ascend, and then went to ask the dog why he left without saying a word.
After many years, Gu Yu never went to the park again. It wasn't until he had a premonition that the thunder disaster was approaching that he returned to the place he was most familiar with before.
It's just that the dog by the lake that has been guarding her has finally disappeared.
Gu Yu thought he left without saying goodbye, but she didn't know that the reason why the dog left was because Lei Jie could no longer suppress it.
With five internal organs exhausted, Mu Xun vomited blood and voluntarily gave up the opportunity.
He used his many years of cultivation to make a deal with Tiandao so that he could help Gu Yu pass the test.
Mu Xun always remembered that Gu Yu's wish was to ascend to become a fairy.
That little swan had told him so vigorously when they met for the first time. He has guarded her for many years, and the only thing he can do now is to fulfill her.
Later, Tiandao kept the agreement, and after Mu Xun merged into the Dao, he scattered his consciousness into Gu Yu's love disaster, allowing her to be reborn.
He agreed to Mu Xun's request, put the worst part of his character into the illusion, watched Gu Yu's expression moved, then became disgusted, unmoved, cut off the thread of love, and then ended everything.
That was his own request.
Use the last ounce of consciousness to help her soar.
After the system's voice fell, he sighed, looked at Gu Yu with complex eyes, and finally felt the consciousness that was integrated into his body gradually dissipate.
"Thank you, and also, help me take a good look at her."
These were the last words it heard.
The author has something to say: [The article was published on October 13th, and the book is "The hosts bound by me are all Shura field [Quick time travel]". See you all the cuties, so chirp~]
This extra chapter actually explains what was said before. The system is the Dao of Heaven. Erha, in order to allow Gu Yu to ascend safely, created an illusion with the worst things in his character after merging with the Dao of Heaven, so that Gu Yu could easily survive the catastrophe of love.
After Gu Yu's ascension, his deal with Tiandao was completed and he disappeared.
