| Unit Overview |
Tang Seng and his four disciples, Sun Wukong ‘Monkey’, Zhu Bajie ‘Pigsy’, Sha Seng ‘Friar Sand’ and Bai Longma‘White Dragon Horse’, time travelled to modern China. Unlike the legendary pilgrimage of going through many trials and much suffering to travel to the Xitian ‘Western Regions’ to obtain Buddhist sacred texts, they have to travel to the Xitian University as a group in order complete their respective professional goals. In this life, Tang Sengis a professor with the other four as his students. Since his students have different personalities, they have distinctive preferences for transportation means. Help Professor Tang find an ideal traveling method for the group. |
