Chapter 146: Journey to the West
Sun Wukong asked another new question.
"Dare I ask how much do you seniors know about the Buddha Sect’s scripture retrieval project?"

Second, the scripture retrieval team was directly led by Guanyin Bodhisattva, with Tang Sanzang as the project manager and Sun Wukong as the core talent; the ordinary members were Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and the White Dragon Horse, with Emperor Taizong as the sponsor.
Third, the whole project included eighty-one assessment tasks, after the completion of which the Mahayana True Scriptures could be obtained.
