How was Sha Monk surrendered in Journey to the West?
Chapter 22: Bajie fights against Liushahe, and Mucha becomes enlightened by the Dharma.
In the Liusha River, a monster robbed Tang Monk. Bajie and Wukong went to fight, but the monster got into the water and refused to come ashore. Wukong was not good at water fighting and could not do anything to the monster underwater, so he sent Bajie into the water to fight it. Bajie held a nine-tooth rake and fought with the river demon three times, but he could not win.
Although Wukong has many clever tricks, he is helpless. After several battles with no results, Wukong went to Guanyin Bodhisattva for help. The Bodhisattva asked Mucha Walker to go with Wukong to subdue the monsters.
The Wood Cross Walker summons the monster Wu Jing. After inviting him to become his disciple, Wu Jing formed a Dharma boat with the skull under his neck, crossed the river with Tang Monk, and took the Western Sutra.

Sha Wujing was originally the rolling curtain general of the Jade Emperor in the upper realm. Because he accidentally broke the glass cup, he violated the rules of heaven and was demoted to the lower realm. Every day For seven days, thousands of swords pierced the heart, causing trouble in Liusha River, harming one party, and eating passers-by. Later, he was enlightened by Avalokitesvara and given the Dharma name Wujing. He returned to the Buddha with one heart. Together with Bajie and Wukong, he protected Xuanzang, the eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty, and worshiped the Buddha in the west to obtain the true scriptures.
Sha Seng has a simple and honest personality and is loyal. He is not as rebellious as Sun Wukong, nor is he as lazy, greedy and lustful as Zhu Bajie. Since he gave up his identity as a monster, he has followed Tang Seng wholeheartedly. He is upright and selfless, works hard and does not complain, abides by Buddhist precepts, is down-to-earth, and abides by his principles. Finally, with perfect merit and deeds, he was named "Namo Eight Treasures Golden Body Arhat Bodhisattva" by Tathagata Buddha.
