颼的一聲 Drawn In With A Whistle
把行者解了繩索，剝了衣服，就著那瓶中仙氣，颼的一聲，吸入裡面，將蓋子蓋上，貼了封皮。把行者解了绳索，剥了衣服，就着那瓶中仙气，飕的一声，吸入里面，将盖子盖上，贴了封皮。

They untied Wukong's ropes, stripped off his clothes, and by means of the immortal breath inside that bottle he was sucked in with a whistling rush, the lid was clapped on, and a paper seal pasted over it.
解 is jiě, to untie — the everyday band, not the administrative jiè of transporting a prisoner. 就著 takes the light zhe, availing itself of a thing right where it is. 颼 sōu is the sound of air rushing, and the sentence spends one whole character on it before the lid comes down.
Untied, stripped, inhaled, lidded, sealed. Thirty-five characters, five verbs and a paper strip, and the most powerful creature in the chapter is inside a jar. The prose does not slow down for any of it, which is what makes it land.
The paper seal is the detail worth keeping. It is not a magical binding, it is a strip of paper pasted across a lid — the same thing a Ming official pasted across a sealed door or an evidence chest. The demons have just filed him.
