You are lying. You can't get any evidence about this statue in the British Museum. This character is the Dragon King of the Jinghe River. Only those who have read the original book (Journey to the West) know the specific situation. It's shameless to say so just to humiliate the Chinese people
although the British Museum as well as lots of other museums in Europe and North America have lots of cultural relics stolen from China, this one is not true, unfortunately. His incarnation is Lingji Bodhisattva, a made up Buddha in 'Journey to the West', so there will not be a real sculpture of him.
@@qinxinghua, no, He is a budhar name Lingji, he sure can sing whit no head , a rat stole his head, implying that nowaday in physical world the little British is a rat thief, as you can find his head displaying in British musum if you go visit that exhibition hall of crime committed
This guy was not singing in standard mandarin accent, it was Northern Shan xi province accent. So yes, he does have a strong accent in Chinese just like Scottish in English world.
I grew up with this type of music, so I can probably share a few words about it. It's rooted in northern Shaanxi, an area characterized by sandy mountains. That's why the music evokes the feeling of wild deserts and rugged mountains-that is where the music is born. Decades ago, groups of performers would travel across villages and towns on special occasions to perform this kind of music. The singing typically told stories from old times or new stories created by the performers themselves. For most people back then, this was one of the few forms of entertainment and one of the few ways to learn about the world beyond their small village. The harsh reality is that many of these performers were actually people with disabilities, such as blindness. This resonates with the NPC of the headless monk. These individuals likely took up performing because they couldn’t engage in more typical occupations like farming to make a living. Life was hard back then, but it was also full of happiness. I miss it so much. I’ve been thinking about picking this up as a hobby myself, so my kids know their roots.
We are so used to listen to traditional Japanese music and old style western music in video games so when I hear this Chinese traditional music in a game it feels so unique and new experience to me!
Yeah. China has greatly more diverse culture in architecture, arts, folklores, music and almost everything compared to Japan but didn’t export them as effectively as Japan but it is finally catching up. It is like an eastern Asian person only learns about Europe through England as they are most developed and active but later found there is a whole Europe continent they don’t know much about.
It's new to us Chinese too. Shaanxi is old and dying, and not many of us have heard of their folklore songs, let along a northern Shaanxi story telling song.
@@Spider-Too-TooNo, this is the Buddha of the Journey to the West story.There is no such thing as him among the people in China, but some Buddha statues in China were taken away by the British.
That's Lingji Bodhisattva,in the Book of Journey to the West, he assists Wukong twice. He's headless because his head was stolen by the British and displaying in the British Museum.
Nonsense, the head of Lingji Bodhisattva was cut off by the Yellow Wind Monster in the game and grafted onto his own head to increase his magical powers.
@@yaohuiliu8438the yellow mouse represents foreign invaders, yellow hair is how Asians describe the colonisers. In Malaysia, the Chinese call them Ang Moh, red hair. They knew what the colonisers did and gave them a term based on their unique features, Yellow hair, Red hair, etc. Even the proboscis monkeys were portrayed as the Dutch colonisers in the past. The yellow haired rat didn't want to give up the Bodhisattva head, just like the British now, until someone fought for the return of the head. The Bodhisattva head was cut off, like how the British did to the original statue.
An interesting point is that the singer's accent is from Northern Shaanxi, and if you look up a map of Shaanxi Province, you will find it resembles the UK quite a bit. And you know, the northern part of the UK is precisely Scotland.
@@haiyangliu2481The Northern Shaanxi accent is one of the Northwest Mandarin dialects. Northwest Mandarin covers Shaanxi, Ningxia, Xinjiang, and western Inner Mongolia. I am from Xinjiang, and I went to Northern Shaanxi for a trip last year. Although some of the accents are different, I can communicate with them without any obstacles using the Xinjiang accent.
This is why there is something lost in translation in the English dub. Obviously you won't get the Scottish accent in the Chinese dub. Even wukong doesn't sound right in English.
Chinese developers are mocking Brits🤣 1. His head is actually placed in British Museum 2. His accent is Scottish, you know how the Scots view the Brits lol
i wouldnt call it mocking, more referring to historical events. its a thing that happened and had cultural implications that have lasted to this day. as a brit it was cool seeing them being very tongue in cheek about it. if anything was mocking it would be making the thief of the head a rat but again i dont see that as mocking and it comes across a lot more as what we would call banter, a light hearted jab
His name is Lingji Bodhisattva/Buddha. In the original literature work (Journey to the West), the Golden Wind Sage was originally a gold rat guai who stole the lamplight from the Heavenly Court and was given to him to be made a disciple. Later in the book, when Sun Wukong faces off against the Golden Wind Guai/Sage, he got blinded from the guai's Samadha Wind (yes, ***that*** Samadha, similar to the Samadha Flames) and had to ask Lingji to help, who gave him a tool to disperse the guai's wind and ultimately winning him the fight.
Thank you for the explanation. I bought this game not only to experience its gameplay, but to learn more about the epic tales on Journey to the West. Truly, this game has touched my soul in essence on the morale of the story and how amazing each characters blend blend into this game ❤
Lyrics the headless sings in CN and EN: 恨当初，一念慈悲； 似不如皆行血泪； 且慢走，且慢走，再走怕你也无头； 忘我疯傻话，自逢一劫； 徒悲生死莫相离，不想走那正道载人心； 妖邪无人来渡化，道邪却由人来走； 邪魔外道无人破，身不随首生灵堕。 I hate the past, a thought of compassion; It seems better to shed blood and tears; Go slowly, go slowly, if you go any further you will be headless; Forget my crazy and foolish words, you will meet a disaster; It is useless to lament the separation of life and death, if you don’t want to walk the right path that carries people’s hearts; No one comes to convert the evil spirits, but people walk the evil ways; No one breaks the evil ways, and the body does not follow the head of the living beings to fall.
The headless Bodhisattva here is Lingji Bodhisattva, one of the eight major Bodhisattvas in Buddhism. In ancient times, Buddhism was very prosperous in China, and there were numerous Buddhist statues in temples and grottoes across the country. However, most of these statues had their heads cut off because the heads were considered the most valuable parts, both artistically and research-wise. Now, you can find these heads in museums in Western countries. In the past two centuries, Western countries have seized a large number of historical artifacts from Asia and Africa through wars. The British Museum alone houses over 20,000 Chinese artifacts, which are only given simple numbers without detailed descriptions. To attract tourists, the British Museum even allows people to touch these foreign artifacts without any protection. We sincerely hope that Western countries will return these war-looted artifacts to their original countries.
I never imagined that the art form beloved by elders in my childhood hometown could become known worldwide through a game. Hearing the familiar dialect and local accent is truly moving. Shaanbei Shuoshu (陕北说书, Shuoshu means storytelling) is a form of storytelling and singing art from the northern Shaanxi province of China. It features the unique dialect of northern Shaanxi and northern Shanxi provinces(陕西 and 山西, yes, they sound very familiar and located closely). The instrument played is called Sanxian(三弦), meaning "three-stringed lute." The storyteller also ties a small wood clapper to their leg, shaking it to the rhythm - that's the source of the "ding-ding" sound in the background. It's incredible to see our local culture showcased here!😃
The game features real-life scans of 36 famous scenic spots across China, including locations in Shanxi, Chongqing, and Zhejiang. Notably, Shanxi Province serves as the setting for 27 of these sites, making up more than half of the total locations.
Because the rap style and accent in the game are from Yulin City in northern Shaanxi Province, China, commonly known as Shaanxi storytelling. And the map outline of Shaanxi Province, including its terrain and the distribution of major cities, is very similar to that of the UK. Yulin City's position in Shaanxi is also similar to Scotland's position in the UK. So the English version of this character's accent uses a Scottish English accent.
@@sophia8376In addition, the Yellow haired rat. Describing the British invaders, some Chinese dialects also have terms used to describe colonisers, like in Malaysia, the Chinese Hokkien call them "Ang Moh", meaning Red Haired because of the British and Dutch colonisers. They suffered under the colonisers for 200+ years, even today, we still use the term because it has become a term to describe a foreigner from Europe. We still use it because there were no terms to begin with to address that specific group of people, the first thing we knew about them is that they are not friendly colonisers.
To be correct, his head is in the British museum. His body is still in China. When is Britain going to return the head of this Buddha statue back to China? This is China’s national cultural relic. Britain must return all those cultural relics back to China.
The reason the game dev designed this character this way is the head of the statue of this deity is kept in the Great Britain Museum looted by the British. A very subtle protest.
The second song has an alternate version depending on how you complete the boss fight, if you kill the prince the king will flee and the song will the one in this video. If you kill the King first and then kill the son, a different song will play.
The bodhisattva is headless because it is based on an actual bodhisattva statue The head was plundered by the British when they invaded China. The head is now displayed in the British Museum
During the Second Opium War waged by the British and the French military, whereupon they looted, plundered hundreds of thousands of national treasures of China, dating back since Shang Dynasty, through Tang Dynasty, well into Ming and Qing Dynasties.
The choice of a Scottish accent might actually be the developers attempt to meme a bit So the headless singer is singing in a bards style from northern Shaanxi Province (not to be confused with neibouring Shanxi), and if you google the map of Shaanxi Province its link to the British isles would be quite obvious
It's also an irony thing that Lingji (headless bard) is based on an ancient relic that only Lingji body remain but its head is currently in you know where it is, the British museum lol

The singing immediately captivated me-so unrestrained, free, and full of exotic charm. Huge praise to the design team! The cultural depth and talent make this game utterly irresistible.
The 72 Earthly Evil Techniques that Sun Wukong knows refer to 1. Passing through the secluded places: Passing through the secluded places means being able to go to and from hell freely. Everyone knows that going to hell is not difficult, but coming back is not so easy. If you master the skill of passing through the secluded places, you can go to hell to play at will. Sun Wukong was able to go to the King of Hell to change the Book of Life and Death, so he used this method. 2. Expelling gods: Expelling gods. 3. Carrying mountains: It means being able to carry the weight of a mountain. Sun Wukong was able to survive under the Five Fingers Mountain because of this method. 4. Forbidding water: Being able to pass through water unimpeded. Although it is unimpeded, Sun Wukong's attack power in water battles is not as good as Sha Wujing, and his ability is even more limited in special waters such as the Flowing Sand River. In the end, Guanyin had to come forward to settle it. After all, everyone has their own expertise and abilities. 5. Borrowing wind: Being able to drive the wind. 6. Spreading fog: As the name suggests, it means making fog appear wherever you want. 7. Pray for clear weather: can make rainy days clear. 8.

Staff: You can abandon your body and go to heaven, or you can escape without leaving your body and just pretend to have an object (such as clothes, staff, sword) to escape. Sun Wukong often escapes by this. 20. Clone: Not only can you create multiple versions of yourself. You can also create multiple versions of other objects. 21. Invisibility: Invisibility. 22. Continuation: You can do this, so Sun Wukong can grow back after being beheaded. 23. Immobilization: There is no problem using this to deal with small monsters. 24.

Formation: various barriers and formations to trap the enemy. In the third fight with the White Bone Demon, Sun Wukong drew a circle on the spot for Tang Seng. The White Bone Demon turned into a girl, but could not come forward. This circle is the formation. 43. False form: the art of transformation, one of Sun Wukong's most commonly used moves, and he used it to the extreme. 44. Spraying: using magic to point at an object and make it change. 45.

@@万恶共匪毒害中华it’s not a shamisen since this isn’t japanese. this game is chinese and everything in it is from chinese culture. someone mentioned the accurate name for this instrument in another comment section but i forgot what it was; i remember it being described as a type of zither though.
@@万恶共匪毒害中华 It's called Sanxian, or "Three String," and the game's historical background is the Tang dynasty (7th-9th century). Shamisen didn't come around until the 17th century, where it was adapted from an instrument, Sanshin, played by Ryukyu Islanders. (Both instruments sound the same, right? Wanna take a guess at its origin?)
connecting the dots here since lots of players say that the story doesn’t make sense. So this headless guy is actually Bodhisattva Lingji who guarded one of Sun Wukong’s 6 senses. Sun Wukong, not the MC, but the one who was still under a rock in Mount Huaguo (remember the end of the intro?) is still trapped because his 6 senses scattered when he was fell from the sky. The MC, the “young sage”, is on his journey to collect all 6 of the lost senses, one from each chapter. 6 senses being sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch and the literal “sixth sense” - extrasensory perception. MC tries to restore the 6 senses and release Wukong from that rock! All the destroyed Bodhisattva statues and temples suggest that the yaoguais had defeated the buddhas and taken over this world. That’s why there humans was all zombie like or turned into lesser guais.
If you watch the plot carefully enough you will realize this headless singer was the real villain and lying all the time in this chapter. He says at the end of this chapter that the rat chanced upon one of Wukong's relics, but actually, in the last chapter, we can see that the rat was assigned to this relic by the Celestial Court after Wukong's death. Also, all the rats here in this chapter were the nationals of this country, and this headless Bodhisattva punished them into rats for trying to reform their country, etc.
If you know Chinese (and its culture i guess) the richness in meanings contained in just a few Chinese words is incredible especially when compared to the simple barren, pale context of English. The history isn't there for nothing.
Just found a big issue here. He didn't wash off the dust and sand of his head before sticking the head back. He must be feeling ichy ichy inside his neck... like how we feel when the sand went into our running shoes after a walk at the beach. Probably this is why he left so quicky, he gotta go somewhere without anyone presence and fix his neck all over again!
Two years ago, during a business trip to China, I experienced an unforgettable week in a small town. The morning sun filtered through the leaves, filling the air with a fresh, sweet scent. The purity of the air, free from pollution, brought a sense of happiness and peace. The locals' commitment to environmental protection preserves the land's natural beauty. If we all cared for the environment as they do, our world would be a better place.
This is North-Shannxi(not shanxi,they are neighbors,though many of the ancient buildings in the game scene are based on Shanxi.) storytelling, performed in Shaanxi dialect, not madarin.The performer is Zhuying Xiong,one of the inheritors of intangible cultural heritage of Shannxi storytelling.As for the headless character in the game,I must say it's a metaphor for our stolen Buddha head all over China, most of which are in the British museum or so. As a lover of ancient culture,it is a pity to see sculptures lose their heads.😢Delighted to see u like it,love from China😘(poor English sry)
4:30 he didn't pluck the hair from his body. he received it from the original Wukong and kept it safe all these years. Wukong is the only character known to create duplicate copies of himself using a strand of his own hair (or fur).
He is singing in the famous Qin(shanxi province) tune, in the country side of this province, literally looks like this(greener of course 😅) in the game. Very impressive singing and graphics!
This is a traditional type of singing and street basking that is usually performed by artist with disabilities, which given his missing head I'd say its pretty fitting

He used the dialect of northern Shaanxi, China, and this side of the language contains classical Chinese（文言文）rhyme, that is, Chinese people also need to look at the subtitles to carefully distinguish to understand, so foreign players do not understand it is very normal😊. This kind of classical Chinese and folk tunes have been spread in China for thousands of years. Folk tunes can be understood as the crystallization of an era's culture and have very high value. It's like Old English, like Shakespeare's sonnets. But it certainly won't be as lofty as Shakespeare. It is usually used to record important historical events, or natural disasters, and weave stories for future generations.
This is the lingji bodhisattva. You know why headless? His figure's dead was robbed by British invader back more than 100 years ago. His head is still in the British Museum now.
Fuban boss is actually the mount of Lingji's Bodhisattva, it was sent by Lingji to punish the people in Sihari Kingdom simply because the people don't worship the Bodhisattva, after Yellow Wind Sage defeated Fuban, people started to worship rats, so you can see rat Buddha statues everywhere in the game scene, Lingji was so angry that he turned all the people in Sihari Kingdom into rats, the people thought it was done by the Yellow Wind Sage, so they drove it out of the Sihari Country, the Yellow Wind Sage was later taken in by Lingji and became Lingji's disciple, knowing the truth the Yellow wind sage cut off Lingji's head and used it to cultivate Wukong's root organ, returned to Sihari Country, and the second chapter of the game began.

That's Lingji Bodhisattva,in the Book of Journey to the West, he assists Wukong twice. He's headless because his head was stolen by the British and displaying in the British Museum.
So he's a little bit Scottish.
Nonsense, the head of Lingji Bodhisattva was cut off by the Yellow Wind Monster in the game and grafted onto his own head to increase his magical powers.
@@yaohuiliu8438the yellow mouse represents foreign invaders, yellow hair is how Asians describe the colonisers. In Malaysia, the Chinese call them Ang Moh, red hair. They knew what the colonisers did and gave them a term based on their unique features, Yellow hair, Red hair, etc. Even the proboscis monkeys were portrayed as the Dutch colonisers in the past.
The yellow haired rat didn't want to give up the Bodhisattva head, just like the British now, until someone fought for the return of the head. The Bodhisattva head was cut off, like how the British did to the original statue.
I don’t think British Empire exist at this point LOL
Journey of the West is 16th century and it's right around the time when colonialism was amok
He can sing in Chinese, can also talk in Scottish 😂
In fact, i can't understand his song as a Chinese without sublines, and even using the sublines needs some time to recoginze.
An interesting point is that the singer's accent is from Northern Shaanxi, and if you look up a map of Shaanxi Province, you will find it resembles the UK quite a bit. And you know, the northern part of the UK is precisely Scotland.
@@alanhu925 That's exactly the English translation team think
@@haiyangliu2481The Northern Shaanxi accent is one of the Northwest Mandarin dialects. Northwest Mandarin covers Shaanxi, Ningxia, Xinjiang, and western Inner Mongolia. I am from Xinjiang, and I went to Northern Shaanxi for a trip last year. Although some of the accents are different, I can communicate with them without any obstacles using the Xinjiang accent.
This is why there is something lost in translation in the English dub. Obviously you won't get the Scottish accent in the Chinese dub. Even wukong doesn't sound right in English.
Chinese developers are mocking Brits🤣
1. His head is actually placed in British Museum
2. His accent is Scottish, you know how the Scots view the Brits lol
i wouldnt call it mocking, more referring to historical events. its a thing that happened and had cultural implications that have lasted to this day. as a brit it was cool seeing them being very tongue in cheek about it. if anything was mocking it would be making the thief of the head a rat but again i dont see that as mocking and it comes across a lot more as what we would call banter, a light hearted jab
I don't think this is ridicule, it is a warning to the world not to forget the national humiliation.
@@槲栎-v6i i wouldnt say it was a humiliation, just history. china has had its losses but it has also had its triumphs just like any country.
This is a joke yet.Cause there is a meme in Shaanxi that Xian is London,Yulin is Edinburgh so this dialect is Scot’s.
You are a cool Englishman. By the way, the character in the original text is a yellow-haired mouse.
What surprise you is, he is actually singing all the bosses in sequence in his lyrics and his song is actually giving hints throughout games ....
His name is Lingji Bodhisattva/Buddha. In the original literature work (Journey to the West), the Golden Wind Sage was originally a gold rat guai who stole the lamplight from the Heavenly Court and was given to him to be made a disciple. Later in the book, when Sun Wukong faces off against the Golden Wind Guai/Sage, he got blinded from the guai's Samadha Wind (yes, ***that*** Samadha, similar to the Samadha Flames) and had to ask Lingji to help, who gave him a tool to disperse the guai's wind and ultimately winning him the fight.
Thank you for the explanation. I bought this game not only to experience its gameplay, but to learn more about the epic tales on Journey to the West. Truly, this game has touched my soul in essence on the morale of the story and how amazing each characters blend blend into this game ❤

Lyrics the headless sings in CN and EN:
恨当初，一念慈悲；
似不如皆行血泪；
且慢走，且慢走，再走怕你也无头；
忘我疯傻话，自逢一劫；
徒悲生死莫相离，不想走那正道载人心；
妖邪无人来渡化，道邪却由人来走；
邪魔外道无人破，身不随首生灵堕。
I hate the past, a thought of compassion;
It seems better to shed blood and tears;
Go slowly, go slowly, if you go any further you will be headless;
Forget my crazy and foolish words, you will meet a disaster;
It is useless to lament the separation of life and death, if you don’t want to walk the right path that carries people’s hearts;
No one comes to convert the evil spirits, but people walk the evil ways;
No one breaks the evil ways, and the body does not follow the head of the living beings to fall.
The last sentence should be translated as "(if) the body does not follow the head the living beings (will) fall/fail"
correct

The headless Bodhisattva here is Lingji Bodhisattva, one of the eight major Bodhisattvas in Buddhism. In ancient times, Buddhism was very prosperous in China, and there were numerous Buddhist statues in temples and grottoes across the country. However, most of these statues had their heads cut off because the heads were considered the most valuable parts, both artistically and research-wise. Now, you can find these heads in museums in Western countries. In the past two centuries, Western countries have seized a large number of historical artifacts from Asia and Africa through wars. The British Museum alone houses over 20,000 Chinese artifacts, which are only given simple numbers without detailed descriptions. To attract tourists, the British Museum even allows people to touch these foreign artifacts without any protection. We sincerely hope that Western countries will return these war-looted artifacts to their original countries.

I never imagined that the art form beloved by elders in my childhood hometown could become known worldwide through a game. Hearing the familiar dialect and local accent is truly moving.
Shaanbei Shuoshu (陕北说书, Shuoshu means storytelling) is a form of storytelling and singing art from the northern Shaanxi province of China. It features the unique dialect of northern Shaanxi and northern Shanxi provinces(陕西 and 山西, yes, they sound very familiar and located closely). The instrument played is called Sanxian(三弦), meaning "three-stringed lute." The storyteller also ties a small wood clapper to their leg, shaking it to the rhythm - that's the source of the "ding-ding" sound in the background.
It's incredible to see our local culture showcased here!😃
其实，我国的民间故事绝对不逊色于外国人的荷马史诗什么的。只是话语权不在这罢了

The game features real-life scans of 36 famous scenic spots across China, including locations in Shanxi, Chongqing, and Zhejiang. Notably, Shanxi Province serves as the setting for 27 of these sites, making up more than half of the total locations.

Because the rap style and accent in the game are from Yulin City in northern Shaanxi Province, China, commonly known as Shaanxi storytelling. And the map outline of Shaanxi Province, including its terrain and the distribution of major cities, is very similar to that of the UK. Yulin City's position in Shaanxi is also similar to Scotland's position in the UK. So the English version of this character's accent uses a Scottish English accent.

Describing the British invaders, some Chinese dialects also have terms used to describe colonisers, like in Malaysia, the Chinese Hokkien call them "Ang Moh", meaning Red Haired because of the British and Dutch colonisers. They suffered under the colonisers for 200+ years, even today, we still use the term because it has become a term to describe a foreigner from Europe. We still use it because there were no terms to begin with to address that specific group of people, the first thing we knew about them is that they are not friendly colonisers.

Where
The 72 Earthly Evil Techniques that Sun Wukong knows refer to
1. Passing through the secluded places: Passing through the secluded places means being able to go to and from hell freely. Everyone knows that going to hell is not difficult, but coming back is not so easy. If you master the skill of passing through the secluded places, you can go to hell to play at will. Sun Wukong was able to go to the King of Hell to change the Book of Life and Death, so he used this method.
2. Expelling gods: Expelling gods.
3. Carrying mountains: It means being able to carry the weight of a mountain. Sun Wukong was able to survive under the Five Fingers Mountain because of this method.
4. Forbidding water: Being able to pass through water unimpeded. Although it is unimpeded, Sun Wukong's attack power in water battles is not as good as Sha Wujing, and his ability is even more limited in special waters such as the Flowing Sand River. In the end, Guanyin had to come forward to settle it. After all, everyone has their own expertise and abilities.
5. Borrowing wind: Being able to drive the wind.
6. Spreading fog: As the name suggests, it means making fog appear wherever you want.
7. Pray for clear weather: can make rainy days clear.
8. Pray for rain: when Tang Monk and his three disciples were fighting in Chechi Kingdom, Sun Wukong competed with Huli Daxian in praying for rain.
9. Sitting on fire: not afraid of fire.
10. Entering water: diving into the deep sea.
11. Covering the sun: can avoid the strong light of the sun.

16. Pot sky: the small space in the pot can become the sky, can become smaller.
17. Divine movement: the spirit transcends the body and swims freely.
18. Walking on water: walking on the water.
19. Staff: You can abandon your body and go to heaven, or you can escape without leaving your body and just pretend to have an object (such as clothes, staff, sword) to escape. Sun Wukong often escapes by this.
20. Clone: Not only can you create multiple versions of yourself. You can also create multiple versions of other objects.
21. Invisibility: Invisibility.
22. Continuation: You can do this, so Sun Wukong can grow back after being beheaded.
23. Immobilization: There is no problem using this to deal with small monsters.
24. Demon-slaying: Many ghosts and monsters have no physical body. You can chop them by practicing this.
25. Invite the immortals: This depends on your character, and of course your strength, to invite the immortals to help you!
26. Chasing the soul: You can see the soul and track it.

33. Send the stick: Can send the hit of the stick to another object to escape the pain.
34. Stop the flow: Stop the flow of rivers. Sun Wukong used this method to help Tang Seng cross the river.
35. Avert disasters: Use magic to eliminate the disasters faced.
36. Relieve disasters: Rescue dangers.
37. Huangbai: The so-called magic of the sorcerer to turn elixir into gold and silver.
38. Swordsmanship: The method and technique of using a sword. Therefore, most Taoist weapons are swords.
39. Shooting covers: Divination and guessing objects.
40. Earth movement: moving freely in the earth.
41. Star number: being able to observe the stars at night and know one's destiny.
42. Formation: various barriers and formations to trap the enemy. In the third fight with the White Bone Demon, Sun Wukong drew a circle on the spot for Tang Seng. The White Bone Demon turned into a girl, but could not come forward. This circle is the formation.
43. False form: the art of transformation, one of Sun Wukong's most commonly used moves, and he used it to the extreme.
44. Spraying: using magic to point at an object and make it change.
45. Finger transformation: using a finger to change something.

64. Lying in the snow: Lying in the snow.
65. Exposing to the sun: Can be exposed to the sun.

Unique dialect singing, cannot understand a thing. I like the strumming. Hope the British Museum returns the head. Poor guy.
UK: Only an irresistible force of war would make me consider giving it back for free. Thank you.
When I first encountered this dude I was like man that sounds amazing.....and he has no head... Lol
He looks so freaky and yet totally mesmerizing. Can’t get enough of his singing! Get the OST and his songs on Spotify, stat!
In reality, his statue head was stolen by the British and placed in the British Museum.
这个是中国英吉菩萨，他的头清朝时期被英帝国割走了😢 他的头在大英博物馆😢。
that’s some ancient China rock-n-roll😊😊
This is awesome. Thanks for doing this
这菩萨的头确实是被鼠辈偷走了😀
说得好😂
何止這一個，幾百個
那身体呢

The second banjo one is fire
ikrr
It's not a banjo. It's Shamisen, a Japanese instrument
@@万恶共匪毒害中华it’s not a shamisen since this isn’t japanese. this game is chinese and everything in it is from chinese culture. someone mentioned the accurate name for this instrument in another comment section but i forgot what it was; i remember it being described as a type of zither though.
@@万恶共匪毒害中华 Are you insane? It's Chinese instrument not Japanese. Don't pretend you know something you have no clue about
@@万恶共匪毒害中华 It's called Sanxian, or "Three String," and the game's historical background is the Tang dynasty (7th-9th century).
Shamisen didn't come around until the 17th century, where it was adapted from an instrument, Sanshin, played by Ryukyu Islanders. (Both instruments sound the same, right? Wanna take a guess at its origin?)
The Buddha's head in UK can always remind the world who is a thief , which is the best reminder of Chinese philosophy to the world.
UK: About the collection of Buddha heads, I call it preserving World cultural heritage.
I have no idea what he’s saying, but damn is it catchy. Certified banger.
The British stole his head. Those who disrespect Buddha will be punished from generation to generation.
喔！！！u got it!这就是我们的隐喻！！！
卧槽我们都不知道
现在正在英国博物馆
那个头被英国强盗放在他们的在强盗罪证馆。
銘記历史,国力薄弱內乱,列強掠奪羞辱.
this dude's songs all slap
connecting the dots here since lots of players say that the story doesn’t make sense. So this headless guy is actually Bodhisattva Lingji who guarded one of Sun Wukong’s 6 senses. Sun Wukong, not the MC, but the one who was still under a rock in Mount Huaguo (remember the end of the intro?) is still trapped because his 6 senses scattered when he was fell from the sky. The MC, the “young sage”, is on his journey to collect all 6 of the lost senses, one from each chapter. 6 senses being sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch and the literal “sixth sense” - extrasensory perception. MC tries to restore the 6 senses and release Wukong from that rock! All the destroyed Bodhisattva statues and temples suggest that the yaoguais had defeated the buddhas and taken over this world. That’s why there humans was all zombie like or turned into lesser guais.
Best bard of all time.
Headless dude is the progenitor of rap, but seriously, his singing is so beautiful and folksy. It is great to have it featured in the gaming world.
This is literally such a jam and I love it.
1:31 Cowboy chase has been started
If you watch the plot carefully enough you will realize this headless singer was the real villain and lying all the time in this chapter. He says at the end of this chapter that the rat chanced upon one of Wukong's relics, but actually, in the last chapter, we can see that the rat was assigned to this relic by the Celestial Court after Wukong's death. Also, all the rats here in this chapter were the nationals of this country, and this headless Bodhisattva punished them into rats for trying to reform their country, etc.
This diety’s head is still in The British Museum, hope one day it would be returned to him
It's heartwarming to see how nice she treats everybody in her team. Everyone seems to be genuinely happy while doing their part
I'm thoroughly impressed by the storytelling in this video. It kept me hooked from start to finish.
If you know Chinese (and its culture i guess) the richness in meanings contained in just a few Chinese words is incredible especially when compared to the simple barren, pale context of English. The history isn't there for nothing.
啊对对对
the charm that only native speakers can understand
GoTY may be I m not sure but definitely best gaming song + music of the year
These songs are so good. I'll be listening to them for years just like the sea shanties from Assassins Creed Black Flag.
2:25 that vibe😵💫
Just found a big issue here. He didn't wash off the dust and sand of his head before sticking the head back. He must be feeling ichy ichy inside his neck... like how we feel when the sand went into our running shoes after a walk at the beach. Probably this is why he left so quicky, he gotta go somewhere without anyone presence and fix his neck all over again!
The Buddha is not obsessed with the cleanliness of the surface, the Buddha only focuses on the cleanliness of the heart, and He does not mind dust.
hahahahaha
I am obsessed with this song, I can’t get it out of my head, all that I want in life is to keep hearing this song. HELP.

@@cocsho7288 WHERE!!?!?!?
The Lingi Buddhda's head is now located at the British Museum. The rat is what this game is referring to!

Two years ago, during a business trip to China, I experienced an unforgettable week in a small town. The morning sun filtered through the leaves, filling the air with a fresh, sweet scent. The purity of the air, free from pollution, brought a sense of happiness and peace. The locals' commitment to environmental protection preserves the land's natural beauty. If we all cared for the environment as they do, our world would be a better place.
Thanks and thank you so much
The CCP my friend.
They got you hook, line and sinker.
@@1SpicyMeataball Yes, for a hater like you!
@@1SpicyMeataball Oo keep those political ideas to yourself op just reminiscing
@@1SpicyMeataball can't deny the truth :)
This is North-Shannxi(not shanxi,they are neighbors,though many of the ancient buildings in the game scene are based on Shanxi.) storytelling, performed in Shaanxi dialect, not madarin.The performer is Zhuying Xiong,one of the inheritors of intangible cultural heritage of Shannxi storytelling.As for the headless character in the game,I must say it's a metaphor for our stolen Buddha head all over China, most of which are in the British museum or so. As a lover of ancient culture,it is a pity to see sculptures lose their heads.😢Delighted to see u like it,love from China😘(poor English sry)

Me too 😅

Idk if this is rude to say but this is basically Chinese rock and I fucking love it!!!! Best game! Best game! Ten out of ten! Best game!!!
Wukong, my favorite game of the year!
4:30 he didn't pluck the hair from his body. he received it from the original Wukong and kept it safe all these years. Wukong is the only character known to create duplicate copies of himself using a strand of his own hair (or fur).
This guy drops a banger every time, and i fw it so much🤣

Must be my favorite npc, blood has nice music, nice drip, snd gives me my 2 favorite spells. Rock Solid, and the "JUMP THAT MOTHERFUC*ER"
Dunno if it’s only me, but damn, this guy has a solid flow when he plays and sings ! Like to hear him !
He is singing in the famous Qin(shanxi province) tune, in the country side of this province, literally looks like this(greener of course 😅) in the game. Very impressive singing and graphics!
No！！！ 秦腔，华阴老腔，华县皮影，陕北说书，这些完全不是一个东西。无头灵吉菩萨唱的是陕北说书，是陕北口音，秦腔是关中口音。陕西因为地理跨度大，从南到北人为地划分为三大片区，陕北，关中，陕南。这三个地区从文化，口音，饮食习惯，到人文风俗都不尽相同。
陕西不是山西

He's head is in the British Museum.
并没有，这个人物是小说虚构的
@@acacaca9181 这一段想要告诉世人是大英博物馆里有的是菩萨头而不是他的头，功不在我
@@acacaca9181 那你说英国博物馆里有没有佛头就完了 他们是威尔士还是苏格兰长出来吗？
@@yufengliu1084 当然有了，但是也要区分来源，哪些是他们抢走的，哪些是他们买走的，哪些是捐赠的。如果是抢走的文物，我们当然有权力也应该追回。如果是合法途径获得的，你也要承认人家有受法律保护的所有权。还有，可以关注他们对一下对文物的保护和研究，个人认为，这些文物早就是整个人类的文化财产了。研究其背后的文化价值远比拥有它的价值大。
thank you, ive seen this exact comment plastered everywhere
This is a traditional type of singing and street basking that is usually performed by artist with disabilities, which given his missing head I'd say its pretty fitting
Hell joke
Thx so much guys love this Chinese game❤❤❤ I really appreciate that !!!
Ironic fact: Where is his head?
--The British Museum.
You are lying. You can't get any evidence about this statue in the British Museum. This character is the Dragon King of the Jinghe River. Only those who have read the original book (Journey to the West) know the specific situation. It's shameless to say so just to humiliate the Chinese people
@@龙舌兰-g6f In the game, it is clearly stated that this is Lingji Bodhisattva. In reality, there are a bunch of Buddha heads in the British Museum. In the game, the English dubbing of Lingji Bodhisattva has a Scottish accent.
Only those who have read the original work will understand that you can’t even tell the difference between the Dragon King of Jinghe and Lingji Bodhisattva. It’s really shameful!
which museum ?
@@user3e3 British Museum. London, United Kingdom. There are lots of Buddha heads in this museum actually.
@@user3e3 british museum
He used the dialect of northern Shaanxi, China, and this side of the language contains classical Chinese（文言文）rhyme, that is, Chinese people also need to look at the subtitles to carefully distinguish to understand, so foreign players do not understand it is very normal😊. This kind of classical Chinese and folk tunes have been spread in China for thousands of years. Folk tunes can be understood as the crystallization of an era's culture and have very high value. It's like Old English, like Shakespeare's sonnets. But it certainly won't be as lofty as Shakespeare. It is usually used to record important historical events, or natural disasters, and weave stories for future generations.
ever wondered where the head of the singer was? well, it is in the British museum now.
UK: Ha ha ha, funny!!
"yellow haired rat", UK's gonna ban this game lol
This is the lingji bodhisattva. You know why headless? His figure's dead was robbed by British invader back more than 100 years ago. His head is still in the British Museum now.
Music of the Year 🎉🎉🎉
When I heard this music, this was it, I started to love this game, the Chinese immersion is amazing, a travel! An experience ❤
Fuban boss is actually the mount of Lingji's Bodhisattva, it was sent by Lingji to punish the people in Sihari Kingdom simply because the people don't worship the Bodhisattva, after Yellow Wind Sage defeated Fuban, people started to worship rats, so you can see rat Buddha statues everywhere in the game scene, Lingji was so angry that he turned all the people in Sihari Kingdom into rats, the people thought it was done by the Yellow Wind Sage, so they drove it out of the Sihari Country, the Yellow Wind Sage was later taken in by Lingji and became Lingji's disciple, knowing the truth the Yellow wind sage cut off Lingji's head and used it to cultivate Wukong's root organ, returned to Sihari Country, and the second chapter of the game began.
We need a Spotify playlist 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯🦅🦅🦅☠️☠️☠️
please dont keep his head in british robbery museum
he was cooler without the head
