Legends Summarized[]

The Journey To The West (Part II)[]

Kuan Yin and Moksa come across a river spirit while traveling to the East to find the scripture pilgrim. Kuan Yin tells him to wait for the scripture pilgrim and to help him when he arrives, so he can be redeemed of his crimes. The river spirit agrees and is given the name Sha Wujing, or Sandy.

The Journey To The West (Part III)[]

Tripitaka, Pigsy, Monkey, and The Horse make their way to a river where they are attacked by Sandy. Sandy is fighting with Pigsy for a while when Monkey comes and smacks him in the face with his staff. This causes Sandy to dive back into the water. Eventually, Pigsy gets back in the water and fights with Sandy. As Sandy is led by Pigsy to the shore, he sees Monkey coming straight for him and retreats back to the river. When he sees Pigsy again, he doesn't fall for the bait.

Later, Moksa calls for Sandy out of the water. He comes out to see him, and Moksa tells him that the scripture pilgrim that he was waiting for is the same as the one who is currently here. Sandy then joins the group and becomes Tripitaka's disciple.
