In the desert hundreds of miles away from Gourd Valley, a Buddhist light was traveling across the sky, heading straight for this place.
Within the Buddhist light was a young monk draped in a light red kasaya.
Chirp.
A crisp chirping sound emanated from within.
"Little sparrow, don't worry, we're almost there." The young monk was indeed Jue Zhen, who was conversing with the yellow sparrow spirit inside his robe.
After dealing with the malicious monks of the Sand Sea, he was supposed to start his journey back to Chicken Soup Temple.
But shortly after he set off, he suddenly felt an impulse, his Buddhist light awakened, and he sensed that something significant was about to happen in Mo Gao.
He practiced the Buddhist "Present Sutra" and had already developed spiritual connections, often proving his intuitions correct.
Because of this, he decided to stay in Mo Gao.
His premonition became even clearer two days ago, directly pointing him in the direction.
