According to legend, Master Xuanzang was walking in the desert one day on his way to worship Buddha and get lost in a sandstorm. There is little food and water left, and it is on the verge of despair. However, Master Xuanzang still sat cross-legged indifferently, chanting and calling the dharma number. Then a wild goose flew in, and the mage followed the wild goose out of the desert and found the water source. Therefore, Master Xuanzang was full of gratitude to the goose.
