I'm a huge fan of Stop Motion Animation and almost jumped out of my seat when this little piece of brilliance started to play. This game went above and beyond and I love it,
The story is a metaphor conveying a message that runs deep throughout the original novel of JTW and Black Myth: the class at the top of the chain (the celestial court and Buddhas) wants to maintain the division between classes: Buddha/Immortals, mortals and YaoGuai. The class is determined by the nature rather than the form. The white fox that was killed by the scholar was just like WuKong - it’s from a different class and should never cross the class boundary. This is also why the “upper class” never really sees WuKong as one of them, despite his extraordinary power and abilities. They deceived him multiple times and even when WuKong got his Buddha form the circlet was still there on his head, just like a collar you would put on a beast/pet. And when WuKong decided not to serve the court he must be eliminated just like the fox, because he was never and will never be one of them.
@@kennys4100 Reading the fox lore tab. She never intended to mingle with a human romantically. The dream was never gonna happen. It was all fears implanted in him
It seems the scholar was initially convinced that by turning into this young beautiful woman, the fox has changed its nature. After falling in love, getting married, having a child and starting a family, the fox ate his family. The scholar wakes up and kills the fox while still in its original form. In the end, the man was convinced the fox's true nature outweighs whatever forms it takes. "The nature of the thing is more important than the form".
@@245609225 That is one way to see it, but at the same time 1) Yaoguai are fictional and 2) I can see it as a metaphor for trying to tame wild animals like deer, eagles, dolphins, tigers, apes, bears etc. I know there are rescues centres today if an animal is found injured, but good volunteers would try to encourage and stimulate the animals natural behaviours (and eventually release them) unless the animal had no chance of survival out in the wild. Otherwise, I have read so many horror stories of predatory animals in captivity or kept as pets outright attack and kill even the most compassionate of caretakers. Not to mention other stories about illegal dog breeds which may act like good doggies most of the time, but then suddenly will just turn around and go full kill mode. These stories were written at a time when the majority of people were rural farmers, who had to interact with a lot of wild animals whose behaviour was always not well understood, so these type of stories were important. Still I can see how this story can abused to show outright xenophobia towards other ethnicities/cultures.
Yeah I thought of it as he had the dream and out of greed and fear he decided to use the dream as an excuse to kill the fox and take its fur for himself
Spoiler alert: Towards the end of chapter 3, you can actually talk to the ghost of this fox, and fight this man (many years later as an old monk called the non-void) as a secret boss to avenge the fox.
The mean of the story is simple, man can be good or evil, it can all be decided in one thought. That’s why the story is haunting because it’s the weakness of human nature. Buddhism is about transcendence beyond mortal life, love or hate fear or compassion. Once lives a mortal life it’s beyond your control.
Basically, the Buddha want to tell Wukong: "Hey, don't kill a thing just because you know it is monster. It's fate will be decided of what it do in the future, not by your hand"
@@korsekilYes, exactly. But it's not right to kill something/someone when the only crime they've committed was in your head and due to your own fears.
@@korsekil that's the same thing all of this happened in the initial game when Wukong got feared by the celestials, they're scared that one day wukong will come to attack them, that's why they decide to kill wukong.
If you continue to play through chapter 3 you’ll find this cutscene deeper than it first appears. The game gives you an after story from the fox perspective and what turned out at last for the scholar, that will force people to rethink on the moral of the story. Such brilliant story telling (:
In my culture , bad dream are mostly always have opposite effect when become reality,example if you are woman and you dream are about terrified experience snake chase you means you will married soon or some guy propose you to make you wife😅😂
The moral of this story is not “taking things by its nature”. Nothing is set in stone and can be changed. Both form and nature are not always correlate. This story is a reflection of Lingji and Yellow Wind Guai. He saved the rat when he was going to be executed for stealing something from heaven, but the rat turned out to be a power hungry yaogaui in the end. However, Lingji did send the beetle to kill the people of Sahali for not worshipping him. The rat helped the people by killing the beetle and was worshipped as the hero. Lingji wasn’t pleased so he cursed the entire kingdom to become rats. . . . . -Spoiler for chapter 3 side quest below-- . . . However, we learn in Chapter 3 that the fox was actually a benevolent fox learning to become a human. She did intend to help him with his studies as a thank. While the man was ridden with guilt after killing the fox, became a monk and a yaogaui. In the end, they both changed their nature even though they still have the same form.
You can be good enough to help a wounded fox. You can also be determined enough to kill a questionable fox. All your choice has been made by your former experience. And all your experience is a result of your choice.
At the end of the day, the choice you make is your own. And no one, not even yourself, and criticize you for your fears since they (probably) come from experience.
The man was a secret boss in the game. He made the mistake of killing the fox waifu. Because the fox was a good woman, it was him who has plenty of fears and worries in life.
@@Adoniss99 yeah, the reason why the headless buddha tells wukong this story, is to remind him NOT to judge all monsters and spirits. because wukong and ju bajei are also considered as monsters, but bajei are once a human and as well as his former lover the spider lady, used to be a human too. they all have difficulties and wish to become human again. it's a sad dark story but also emotional in a way. wukong wish to break free. this chosen one is wukong reincarnated
The meaning of the story is told at last:"None should disturb what's decided." So the man should not change the destiny of the fox and fall in love with it. The consequences would punish him. But notice the last question:"Am I right? Sun Wukong". Wukong is someone who fights against gods and destiny. The game has two endings. In the easier ending, you get the golden headband at the end. That golden headband represents the destiny determined by Buddha. In the harder ending, you don't get that, you changed Wukong's destiny.
I think this story is an excuse that Lingji used to debate for himself, because Lingji is actually behind all the tragedies in Country Sihali. So from the game, the history of Shihali is that, in the beginning people had deep faith in Buddhism because Buddhas gave them a big drum to resist the voice of sun boiling sea water. But the faith is so deep that the king felt his authority challenged and decided to suppress Buddhism and changed the country name to "Sihali". To punish the country, Lingji sent his mount, which is the big beetle, to Sihali so that once the drum was beaten, the beetle came out and cause damage. But out of the plan, Yellow Wind Monster showed up and helped the people there, which ruined Lingji's plan, people turned to believe mice even more than Buddhism. So Lingji turned all the people in Sihali to mice to punish them, and grabbed Yellow Wind Monster. The evidence is that, if you look at the picture scroll very carefully, the narration soliloquized "Maybe this beetle is some Master's mount". Obviously it means Lingji since his sculpture head is carried by the beetle. So by this story, Lingji tried to defend himself: "All the creatures are divided in order by their natures, so what I did is not wrong, Buddhas are above all." But actually, this should be against real Buddhism, which actually believes every beings are equal in nature.
Maybe not, maybe he regretted meddling in the country's affair in the first place. Maybe he thinks Buddha shouldn't have saved the country by giving them the drum, which in turn caused them to hate Buddha.
@@SleepyGaming-ie9fb That is also an interesting point of view. But in general there is a hidden logic in the world of Journey to the West, no matter Buddha or God in the heaven, they both want humans' faith to sustain and strengthen their power, it is like currency in Gods' world. They never really care about humans' lives, they just care about how much people believe in them, and would be desperate for that. So the myth is black.
This man killed the fox due to a dream of desire and fear just like the player killed yellow wind sage due to a song by Lingji. This chapter relic is fuming ear. People become angry or hate others just due to the story they were told. Lingji think Buddha is the highest form of beings and the level barrier cannot be touched. In another word, discrimination. He is probably the one who released the giant Beatles and turn the people into rats just due to they don’t believe Buddhism enough. Yellow wind sage was once good but become bad due to partially his nature but also because he sees through the hypocrisy of some Buddhas and his master. He was disappointed and lost his trust into Beauty and justice. Yellow sand sage died for a reason and he is not innocent but the true big valian behind all these were Lingji.
The first layer is from the perspective of Lingji Bodhisattva. The nature of the monster is like this and cannot be changed. Through this allegorical story, he expresses his regret for the great disaster caused by his moment of compassion in the past. The second layer is an evaluation of the Yellow Wind Monster. His nature is complex. He is both the Great Sage of the Yellow Wind who saved the country of Shihali and the Yellow Wind King who wanted to eat Tang Seng and obstruct the person with the divine destiny. It's just a moment of being a god or a demon. The third layer is in the entire framework of "Black Myth: Wukong". Once involved in cause and effect, it is difficult to get out. From the moment the fox was saved by the scholar, her fate was beyond her control.
@@xy-eee2 If you can pull something from a story, you need to bring recipts. You cannot subjectively say X peice of media is about Y. You need to actually explain why. Anyone would be hard pressed to say Iron Man 1 was actually about the love between a man and his dog.

No dude. Moral of the story, you can't change what is in someone's nature but coincidentally bad guys too can bring you fortune. Just beware that whatever good that they bring, their nature remains the same
@@Anon-qp3ktI don't think so. It's just HIS assumptions and dream that scared him. The fox was still a fox by the time he awoken. It could have gone a different path and stayed in its true form
ua-cam.com/video/82gN32rGfpg/v-deo.html There's consequence. The man is a hidden boss in chapter 3. Another half of the story see above "Those who scares mosters is more horrible than monsters."
You know, this chapter ending actually kind of alluded to Wukong's dark story, where in the eyes of many Buddhists and immortals, Wukong is always seen as just a monster. That's why Wukong is disappointed, doesn't want to be complicit, and wants to fight to bring about change.
the purpose of this story was to show that even though the fox transformed into a beautiful woman and lives a happy life with the scholar, she is still a yaoguai. meaning eventually she will still end up killing people because it’s in their nature.
Moral of the history: Be careful with dream ans thoughts. They can be wrong. That's the root of all prejudice and evilness in the world. Not all thoughts and dreams speak the truth.
@@rephaelreyes8552 do it, we need to stop this hate towards china. This is a beautiful game which gives us Inside In The Chinese, Mythology and folklore. It opens So much media that we haven’t consumed since ever. I’m from Spain btw so no Chinese conexion
This man is such a pervert, because he dreamed to get marriage with a fox. When the dream went wrong, he killed it and still kept its fur meanwhile the fox did nothing.
not sure if my understanding is correct.. it looks like a metapher for the story of chapter 2 as well. The mouse boss of chapter 2 saved citizens from that huge bug, the citizens start to admire him and he has won much reputation. Lingji budda(the one without head) is afraid that the Yellow wind mouse would win more and more followers and become too powerful, so budda starts to turn citizens into mouses...as a threaten "if you follow yellow wind, you will become mouse too". Yellow wind thought it was his own fault because he is Yaoguai, so decided to leave that Kingdom to stop the "virus". Lingji then took Yellow wind as an apprentice. Everything seems fine, until yellow wind found out the fact of that "virus".....Lingji looks like the scholar, who starts to kill and become cruel, because of his own fear to another species (Yaoguai), same as how scholar killed the fox due to his fear and distrust. Both of them rationalized their cruel actions - Yaoguai must be evil , which made them ownself more close to devil than Yaoguai.
Once you suspect something threatening, you will act for your own benefit regardless of right or wrong. Even if the other party has no ill intentions, you will try to eliminate the potential danger. This is selfish human beings.
He kill the fox because he dreamed a story. You kill the rats because you listened a song. How could you know the headles Buddha was correct？BTW, you knew he was not if you’ve unlocked the hidden area in chapter 2
The message in this is short and simple. Pity, sympathy, compassion, and care, made the man do a good deed. (take the fox in even though its a predator) Fear, confusion, anger, and despair made the man do a bad deed. (kill the fox even though it seemed harmless) Our emotions can make us do things without a second thought. Take some time and think.
人心和妖心谁更清澈一些呢，就像聊斋讨论的 “非天道愦愦，人自愦愦”，或者万事只是黄粱一梦梦醒全空？聊斋志异的魅力 Who got the more clearer soul, human being or the demon? Or everything is nothing but just a life dream in the end. Just like the discussion in the traditional story book Liaozhai about "non heavenly ignorance, human self ignorance", the charm of Liaozhai's eccentric ideas
There are 2 completely opposite morals of story in this animation. One is surface, one is inside: (I'm a Native-Chinese so bare with my English) 1. Surface meaning: Beasts are evil. A beast will always be a beast, don't be fooled by its appearance. 2. Inside meaning: If you desire returns from someone after you helped him, you will be easily upset when the return doesn't meet your expectation and it will lead things to destruction. A true help doesn't require any returns. You see people surfer, you help. Just that simple. The man wanted the fox gives him return. But find him might be killed at the end even though it was just his imagination. So him butcher the fox he just helped. Helping turning into killing, only because his deep desire inside. There are no good and bad beasts, only your thoughts decide which you are. If "Beast is Evil", then the man is the true beast in this animation.
Err, the story here is that some people are superior and some inferior. If anything England's importation of inferior people proves the point in this story. You cant change them, they will always be inferior
I'm on chapter 3 right now, I'll be keeping my eyes open for it. I thought I missed something in chapter 2 because it felt like a maze sometimes navigating through that desert
@@chesuriel1138There is a dead character with a fox around its head, there is also a shrine right next to it. I forgot what it’s called but gives an item that can turn you into a snow fox
I'm using the translation software, but I hope you can understand, but the story is very simple: people's thoughts can easily change, like a dream. It is important that we do not leave everything to the thinking of others, but other constraints that are more effective. Your friends won't kill you at random not because you get along, but because of the law, but what if you were a fox?
Lingji Bodhisattva was telling wukong that humans, beasts, buddahs, yaoguais, are born with a nature, and you have to accept that some are superior, some are inferior, he was regretting that he gave yellow wind sage too much freedom which led to this terrible situation, and he was also telling wukong he is a yaoguai, do not rebel the celestials, and the celetials controlling everything is what wukong hates the most
Lingji Bodhisattva is a liar, his words are always inconsistent,if u finsh chapter3 u will know the scholar woudln't hurt any human.And at the end of chapter4 players will got a information which the Great Sage of the Yellow Wind didnt stolen GENQI from Lingji.But Lingji said Yellow Wind did. Now Great Sage of the Yellow Wind is very popular in Chinese forums because some video bloggers interpreted what I said above and made people realize the truth.
I feel like this is a retelling of some famous Chinese folklore story that I’m not aware of yet. Something like white snake or the story of the hunter and moon goddess or something like that.I know for sure this story isn’t from journey to the west so it has to have it’s origins elsewhere. If anyone knows let me know what the story is called
@@维尼熊-p6j so i looked into Liao zhai and from what i could see is it's a book that is a colletion of short chinese horror stories. i've also found a tv series that adapts these stories. so are you saying this fox story is based on of one of these short stories. if so what's the name of that short story?
I haven't gotten to chapter 3 yet but it sounds like the plot thickens with this story and it's honestly a very beautiful story to tell So I assumed that we all can understand the basic conversation here about the nature versus the form of a thing but allow me to throw a monkey wrench into this mechanism. Imagine a branch to the story where are the older Hunter walks under an arch leading up to his house it collapses killing him in a morally insignificant manner complete accident no fault of any entity or person. Contrast the story of his life to his current condition. He dies in his old age with a beautiful wife babysitting his grandchildren of his successful son versus aimlessly hunting in the cold with seemingly no path forward. Alone cold and a slave to his own devices. What seems on the surface to be a simple story about the nature and form of a thing quickly becomes a tale about the self-actualization. Is it really within the Hunter's nature to only hunt of course not there's more categories to which the hunter could be labeled but the same can be said for the fox. So maybe we boil that down to just mischief but all humans are to some degree mischievous. This seems reflected in the actual story of the game beautifully. You say it's not in his nature so what you want Wukong to just continue on and do nothing just stop fighting? Is it really in the nature of the warrior to not war? Men are felled by what they fall to believe in... How real is the box to which we have placed ourselves in? Does it even exist or are we just being lied to? Was that just a nightmare or was that a legitimate warning from some higher being? We all know the hunter didn't take the chance but that also means that it wasn't the reality. When we abstain from the things that we can control and the choices that we can make in our lives do we truly win or is this whole thing just a matter of survival where we aimlessly eliminate reality out of the fear of unforeseen change? We'll die for something. Shouldn't we make sure it's what we believe in and what we love? It's got to be worth the risk to truly live right? And maybe there's another question that ought to be asked because we've assumed that we're the Hunter in our own story... What an incredible story and to find it inside of a game just absolutely phenomenal
I’m reading through the comments here and yes in a way I understand what you’re all saying to an extent but this thing is just so damn tragic & sad. This story was beautiful!…….at first and then it ended…well how it ended. He was a noble soul who had a good heart who saved an injured animal who later turned into a woman and became the love of his life. They were blessed! They had life, love, happiness, everything you could ask for and then all of a sudden she changed back into an animal and killed everything that was precious to her. I’m guessing it wasn’t a “conscious ” choice of her own free will. She reverted into a fox for some reason and I guess she didn’t have the faculties to resist. If she did or you believe she knew what she was doing and could have stopped it, then it makes NO sense that she didn’t do this ages ago when her first child was born, etc. Makes no sense. I don’t know, I don’t believe anyone here did anything wrong. There are things written here about class, and knowing your place and neither the Twain shall meet, that kind of thing. Since I live in a democratic country that pursues life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, then I’d have to come out and say yeah I’m against what this is preaching but I “Understand” what’s being taught here I think. Just like this relates to the story of Sun Wukong, implying that no one really mistreated him, it was just the way things were and he was who he was….according to them and that’s just the way it was no matter what he did or could do. On the human side where we fought against, class, race, misogyny, and ageism, you can understand the lesson but fight against it with all your being, because it’s not who we strive to be. We believe a man or woman respectively can change their stars and standing and achieve the highest goals. Sun did that but he was spurned, but along the way he, like this current monkey WAS thanked profusely by the people they wound up helping along the way. It’s not so much horrible that someone tells you who and what you are and always will be…to them. The horrible thing would be for us to accept it, just like Sun never did. What’s being said here is that he was wrong, but I say he wasn’t the least bit at fault for wanting more & having a strong belief in himself & knowing that he didn’t HAVE to be what they said or believed he was. So there’s “enlightenment” in this tale plus also a HUGE pull away from it. Such is life.
Lingji Bodhisattva advocates his class fixed ideology, that is, humans, beasts, Buddhas, and monsters are fixed and cannot be changed; A monster is destined not to become a noble Buddha; So he asked Xun Wukong if this viewpoint was correct, and the answer was actually in the animation. A person killed a fox for a dream, and his cruelty was like that of a bloodthirsty monster; So the difference between humans and monsters is just a matter of imagination or a dream/a thought, and those who are afraid of monsters are even more terrifying than monsters.
I don't understand the destiny of the fox was to die in the trap or to live with the monk after being saved?! which destiny the monk disturbed that was rooted for the fox and he shall pay the price for, either to die in the trap to live with the monk or to be killed by the monk after his bad dream! can someone please let me know?
How can I explain this in English... The man bring the wounded fox into his house to cure him. At night he dream that in the morning, the fox transform into a girl and she married him for save her back them. They have a happy life until the scene that the girl turn into yaoguai and kill everyone in his family, including their child. When he wake up, he decide to skin the fox. The question here is simple: Did the fox actually will do that in the future? Or it's just the dream that scared the man too much? No idea, because the man has taken the fox's life This is a metaphor for ordinary practitioners who often dream of suddenly reaching the Pure Land, but reject the responsibility and fatigue after becoming a Buddha. Moreover, the man's good deeds, dreams, and killing actions are all the results of his own thoughts, the fox has nothing to do with it, but his fate is decided by this. This story is said to Wukong, his exorcism and demonic control depends on the karma of living beings, not just because of his strength and profound cultivation.
It's all about the lines at 3:05 Men, beast, Buddhas, yaoguais Can't be seen as equal. Cause they won't be equal. Nature of all beings won't simply "just changed" The king from second chapter chose to believe in yaoguais. The man had the dream thought that he could form a family with the beast. Both of them pay the price.
Aside from the side quest. From a philosophical perspective, very much. Did the man kill the fox purely because of his dream / delusion, or because he already believes that the fox was always gonna be a beast? Was Wukong not accepted by the sky people because of his actions, or because Wukong is always going to be a beast? Should Wukong accept his position or should he try to defy his destiny and his nature?
How is this game not diverse lol?! You could literally view this poor fox spirit as an allegory of trans people, the scholar believes 'The nature of the thing is more important than the form', so he is an allegory of bigots. In chapter 3, you can avenge the fox by fighting the scholar, this is the most diverse story I've ever heard. Now where's my game journalist money?
Just for westoid bipocs there's even a character named "non-white" who is a clown/jester. Obviously the actual context behind his naming makes it less controversial.
The fox is forever a fox, regardless of the form it takes; it can appear to be a beautiful woman, but it is ultimately going to act like a fox. Or something. ...then again I don't recall ever hearing foxes eating entire adult families
Its about the humanity , One mind Budha, one mind demon. The man in the animation choose to save the poor fox , But killed it just after a dream , The fox is the innocent victim all alone. Shows that the man is nothing more than a animal .and the player can realize that Human beast budha and yaoguai are all the same .Driven by their thoughts on a whim. The so called superior and inferior is just something made up by the gods who wants to take control of everything.
It's less about about romance and more about the nature of creatures, you can save a carnivorous predator but it will not change what its intentions are, in the end it will try to kill you if it so chooses.
@@psyferfulit's an ironic story about human perspective, something can change from good to bad or bad to good just in one thought. Human are also the easiest creatures to change their mind.
Why was this random movie set out amongst the total 6 in the game? To impart the lesson on what Sun Wukong learnt the Jade Emperor and his court saw the world should be like. Clear divide, clear castes, that which is by nature perceived evil ought be treated as evil. A wrong mindset.

The story is a metaphor conveying a message that runs deep throughout the original novel of JTW and Black Myth: the class at the top of the chain (the celestial court and Buddhas) wants to maintain the division between classes: Buddha/Immortals, mortals and YaoGuai. The class is determined by the nature rather than the form. The white fox that was killed by the scholar was just like WuKong - it’s from a different class and should never cross the class boundary. This is also why the “upper class” never really sees WuKong as one of them, despite his extraordinary power and abilities. They deceived him multiple times and even when WuKong got his Buddha form the circlet was still there on his head, just like a collar you would put on a beast/pet. And when WuKong decided not to serve the court he must be eliminated just like the fox, because he was never and will never be one of them.

佛祖有云:先断恶，再行善--如果我们行善是为了回报，那么当对方的回报没有满足自己的预期时，必定心生怨怒，最终酿成苦果。

It seems the scholar was initially convinced that by turning into this young beautiful woman, the fox has changed its nature. After falling in love, getting married, having a child and starting a family, the fox ate his family. The scholar wakes up and kills the fox while still in its original form.
In the end, the man was convinced the fox's true nature outweighs whatever forms it takes.

Basically, the Buddha want to tell Wukong: "Hey, don't kill a thing just because you know it is monster. It's fate will be decided of what it do in the future, not by your hand"
Thanks for your comment. I can relate so much more with the Wukong character, and also with my anger.
...didn't the man kill the fox because he feared what it would do in future?
@@korsekilYes, exactly. But it's not right to kill something/someone when the only crime they've committed was in your head and due to your own fears.
@@korsekil that's what the man did . Not wukong
@@korsekil that's the same thing all of this happened in the initial game when Wukong got feared by the celestials, they're scared that one day wukong will come to attack them, that's why they decide to kill wukong.
If you continue to play through chapter 3 you’ll find this cutscene deeper than it first appears. The game gives you an after story from the fox perspective and what turned out at last for the scholar, that will force people to rethink on the moral of the story. Such brilliant story telling (:

The moral of this story is not “taking things by its nature”. Nothing is set in stone and can be changed. Both form and nature are not always correlate.
This story is a reflection of Lingji and Yellow Wind Guai. He saved the rat when he was going to be executed for stealing something from heaven, but the rat turned out to be a power hungry yaogaui in the end. However, Lingji did send the beetle to kill the people of Sahali for not worshipping him. The rat helped the people by killing the beetle and was worshipped as the hero. Lingji wasn’t pleased so he cursed the entire kingdom to become rats.

However, we learn in Chapter 3 that the fox was actually a benevolent fox learning to become a human. She did intend to help him with his studies as a thank. While the man was ridden with guilt after killing the fox, became a monk and a yaogaui. In the end, they both changed their nature even though they still have the same form.
You can be good enough to help a wounded fox. You can also be determined enough to kill a questionable fox. All your choice has been made by your former experience. And all your experience is a result of your choice.
At the end of the day, the choice you make is your own. And no one, not even yourself, and criticize you for your fears since they (probably) come from experience.

Moral : u came change nature even if u tried
The man was a secret boss in the game. He made the mistake of killing the fox waifu. Because the fox was a good woman, it was him who has plenty of fears and worries in life.
@@softwaremediaguru that sucks
@@Adoniss99 yeah, the reason why the headless buddha tells wukong this story, is to remind him NOT to judge all monsters and spirits. because wukong and ju bajei are also considered as monsters, but bajei are once a human and as well as his former lover the spider lady, used to be a human too. they all have difficulties and wish to become human again. it's a sad dark story but also emotional in a way. wukong wish to break free. this chosen one is wukong reincarnated
The meaning of the story is told at last:"None should disturb what's decided." So the man should not change the destiny of the fox and fall in love with it. The consequences would punish him. But notice the last question:"Am I right? Sun Wukong". Wukong is someone who fights against gods and destiny. The game has two endings. In the easier ending, you get the golden headband at the end. That golden headband represents the destiny determined by Buddha. In the harder ending, you don't get that, you changed Wukong's destiny.
I think this story is an excuse that Lingji used to debate for himself, because Lingji is actually behind all the tragedies in Country Sihali.
So from the game, the history of Shihali is that, in the beginning people had deep faith in Buddhism because Buddhas gave them a big drum to resist the voice of sun boiling sea water. But the faith is so deep that the king felt his authority challenged and decided to suppress Buddhism and changed the country name to "Sihali". To punish the country, Lingji sent his mount, which is the big beetle, to Sihali so that once the drum was beaten, the beetle came out and cause damage. But out of the plan, Yellow Wind Monster showed up and helped the people there, which ruined Lingji's plan, people turned to believe mice even more than Buddhism. So Lingji turned all the people in Sihali to mice to punish them, and grabbed Yellow Wind Monster. The evidence is that, if you look at the picture scroll very carefully, the narration soliloquized "Maybe this beetle is some Master's mount". Obviously it means Lingji since his sculpture head is carried by the beetle.
So by this story, Lingji tried to defend himself: "All the creatures are divided in order by their natures, so what I did is not wrong, Buddhas are above all." But actually, this should be against real Buddhism, which actually believes every beings are equal in nature.
yeah
Maybe not, maybe he regretted meddling in the country's affair in the first place. Maybe he thinks Buddha shouldn't have saved the country by giving them the drum, which in turn caused them to hate Buddha.
@@SleepyGaming-ie9fb That is also an interesting point of view. But in general there is a hidden logic in the world of Journey to the West, no matter Buddha or God in the heaven, they both want humans' faith to sustain and strengthen their power, it is like currency in Gods' world. They never really care about humans' lives, they just care about how much people believe in them, and would be desperate for that. So the myth is black.
This man killed the fox due to a dream of desire and fear just like the player killed yellow wind sage due to a song by Lingji.
This chapter relic is fuming ear. People become angry or hate others just due to the story they were told.
Lingji think Buddha is the highest form of beings and the level barrier cannot be touched. In another word, discrimination. He is probably the one who released the giant Beatles and turn the people into rats just due to they don’t believe Buddhism enough. Yellow wind sage was once good but become bad due to partially his nature but also because he sees through the hypocrisy of some Buddhas and his master. He was disappointed and lost his trust into Beauty and justice. Yellow sand sage died for a reason and he is not innocent but the true big valian behind all these were Lingji.
The first layer is from the perspective of Lingji Bodhisattva. The nature of the monster is like this and cannot be changed. Through this allegorical story, he expresses his regret for the great disaster caused by his moment of compassion in the past. The second layer is an evaluation of the Yellow Wind Monster. His nature is complex. He is both the Great Sage of the Yellow Wind who saved the country of Shihali and the Yellow Wind King who wanted to eat Tang Seng and obstruct the person with the divine destiny. It's just a moment of being a god or a demon. The third layer is in the entire framework of "Black Myth: Wukong". Once involved in cause and effect, it is difficult to get out. From the moment the fox was saved by the scholar, her fate was beyond her control.
Moral: Never fall in love with a yaoguai.

You know, this chapter ending actually kind of alluded to Wukong's dark story, where in the eyes of many Buddhists and immortals, Wukong is always seen as just a monster. That's why Wukong is disappointed, doesn't want to be complicit, and wants to fight to bring about change.
That was chilling! These chapter endings are so good!

the purpose of this story was to show that even though the fox transformed into a beautiful woman and lives a happy life with the scholar, she is still a yaoguai. meaning eventually she will still end up killing people because it’s in their nature.

@@JanielDavidAlfaros how do you know? It's just a yaoguai in his dream, not irl

not sure if my understanding is correct.. it looks like a metapher for the story of chapter 2 as well. The mouse boss of chapter 2 saved citizens from that huge bug, the citizens start to admire him and he has won much reputation. Lingji budda(the one without head) is afraid that the Yellow wind mouse would win more and more followers and become too powerful, so budda starts to turn citizens into mouses...as a threaten "if you follow yellow wind, you will become mouse too". Yellow wind thought it was his own fault because he is Yaoguai, so decided to leave that Kingdom to stop the "virus". Lingji then took Yellow wind as an apprentice. Everything seems fine, until yellow wind found out the fact of that "virus".....Lingji looks like the scholar, who starts to kill and become cruel, because of his own fear to another species (Yaoguai), same as how scholar killed the fox due to his fear and distrust. Both of them rationalized their cruel actions - Yaoguai must be evil , which made them ownself more close to devil than Yaoguai.
Apparently, there's a corpse in chapter 5 where a monk has a fox around his neck; kinda sad since you can interact and hear her perspective.

Once you suspect something threatening, you will act for your own benefit regardless of right or wrong. Even if the other party has no ill intentions, you will try to eliminate the potential danger. This is selfish human beings.
To anyone who still cofuse on who tf are those Man and fox are.. no worry, there is a continuation to their story further into the game
He kill the fox because he dreamed a story. You kill the rats because you listened a song. How could you know the headles Buddha was correct？BTW, you knew he was not if you’ve unlocked the hidden area in chapter 2
The message in this is short and simple.
Pity, sympathy, compassion, and care, made the man do a good deed. (take the fox in even though its a predator)
Fear, confusion, anger, and despair made the man do a bad deed. (kill the fox even though it seemed harmless)
Our emotions can make us do things without a second thought. Take some time and think.

There are 2 completely opposite morals of story in this animation. One is surface, one is inside:
(I'm a Native-Chinese so bare with my English)
1. Surface meaning:
Beasts are evil. A beast will always be a beast, don't be fooled by its appearance.
2. Inside meaning:
If you desire returns from someone after you helped him, you will be easily upset when the return doesn't meet your expectation and it will lead things to destruction.
A true help doesn't require any returns. You see people surfer, you help. Just that simple.
The man wanted the fox gives him return. But find him might be killed at the end even though it was just his imagination. So him butcher the fox he just helped.
Helping turning into killing, only because his deep desire inside.
There are no good and bad beasts, only your thoughts decide which you are.
If "Beast is Evil", then the man is the true beast in this animation.
This man has turned into monster which the name is Bukong (Non-Void)

I'm using the translation software, but I hope you can understand, but the story is very simple: people's thoughts can easily change, like a dream. It is important that we do not leave everything to the thinking of others, but other constraints that are more effective. Your friends won't kill you at random not because you get along, but because of the law, but what if you were a fox?
Lingji Bodhisattva was telling wukong that humans, beasts, buddahs, yaoguais, are born with a nature, and you have to accept that some are superior, some are inferior, he was regretting that he gave yellow wind sage too much freedom which led to this terrible situation, and he was also telling wukong he is a yaoguai, do not rebel the celestials, and the celetials controlling everything is what wukong hates the most
I was shocked when I found him later in the game
Lingji Bodhisattva is a liar, his words are always inconsistent,if u finsh chapter3 u will know the scholar woudln't hurt any human.And at the end of chapter4 players will got a information which the Great Sage of the Yellow Wind didnt stolen GENQI from Lingji.But Lingji said Yellow Wind did.

I haven't gotten to chapter 3 yet but it sounds like the plot thickens with this story and it's honestly a very beautiful story to tell
So I assumed that we all can understand the basic conversation here about the nature versus the form of a thing but allow me to throw a monkey wrench into this mechanism.
Imagine a branch to the story where are the older Hunter walks under an arch leading up to his house it collapses killing him in a morally insignificant manner complete accident no fault of any entity or person. Contrast the story of his life to his current condition. He dies in his old age with a beautiful wife babysitting his grandchildren of his successful son versus aimlessly hunting in the cold with seemingly no path forward. Alone cold and a slave to his own devices. What seems on the surface to be a simple story about the nature and form of a thing quickly becomes a tale about the self-actualization. Is it really within the Hunter's nature to only hunt of course not there's more categories to which the hunter could be labeled but the same can be said for the fox. So maybe we boil that down to just mischief but all humans are to some degree mischievous. This seems reflected in the actual story of the game beautifully.
You say it's not in his nature so what you want Wukong to just continue on and do nothing just stop fighting? Is it really in the nature of the warrior to not war? Men are felled by what they fall to believe in... How real is the box to which we have placed ourselves in? Does it even exist or are we just being lied to? Was that just a nightmare or was that a legitimate warning from some higher being?
We all know the hunter didn't take the chance but that also means that it wasn't the reality. When we abstain from the things that we can control and the choices that we can make in our lives do we truly win or is this whole thing just a matter of survival where we aimlessly eliminate reality out of the fear of unforeseen change?
We'll die for something. Shouldn't we make sure it's what we believe in and what we love? It's got to be worth the risk to truly live right?
And maybe there's another question that ought to be asked because we've assumed that we're the Hunter in our own story...
What an incredible story and to find it inside of a game just absolutely phenomenal

ua-cam.com/video/3wfCfpXifPo/v-deo.html For those who didn't know, the story of the fox continues in chapter 3 as a hidden side quest
Wait wait. Ain’t this the same as that White Snake story?
I’m reading through the comments here and yes in a way I understand what you’re all saying to an extent but this thing is just so damn tragic & sad. This story was beautiful!…….at first and then it ended…well how it ended. He was a noble soul who had a good heart who saved an injured animal who later turned into a woman and became the love of his life. They were blessed! They had life, love, happiness, everything you could ask for and then all of a sudden she changed back into an animal and killed everything that was precious to her. I’m guessing it wasn’t a “conscious ” choice of her own free will. She reverted into a fox for some reason and I guess she didn’t have the faculties to resist. If she did or you believe she knew what she was doing and could have stopped it, then it makes NO sense that she didn’t do this ages ago when her first child was born, etc.
Makes no sense. I don’t know, I don’t believe anyone here did anything wrong. There are things written here about class, and knowing your place and neither the Twain shall meet, that kind of thing. Since I live in a democratic country that pursues life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, then I’d have to come out and say yeah I’m against what this is preaching but I “Understand” what’s being taught here I think. Just like this relates to the story of Sun Wukong, implying that no one really mistreated him, it was just the way things were and he was who he was….according to them and that’s just the way it was no matter what he did or could do.
On the human side where we fought against, class, race, misogyny, and ageism, you can understand the lesson but fight against it with all your being, because it’s not who we strive to be. We believe a man or woman respectively can change their stars and standing and achieve the highest goals. Sun did that but he was spurned, but along the way he, like this current monkey WAS thanked profusely by the people they wound up helping along the way. It’s not so much horrible that someone tells you who and what you are and always will be…to them. The horrible thing would be for us to accept it, just like Sun never did. What’s being said here is that he was wrong, but I say he wasn’t the least bit at fault for wanting more & having a strong belief in himself & knowing that he didn’t HAVE to be what they said or believed he was. So there’s “enlightenment” in this tale plus also a HUGE pull away from it. Such is life.

Lingji Bodhisattva advocates his class fixed ideology, that is, humans, beasts, Buddhas, and monsters are fixed and cannot be changed; A monster is destined not to become a noble Buddha; So he asked Xun Wukong if this viewpoint was correct, and the answer was actually in the animation. A person killed a fox for a dream, and his cruelty was like that of a bloodthirsty monster; So the difference between humans and monsters is just a matter of imagination or a dream/a thought, and those who are afraid of monsters are even more terrifying than monsters.
I don't understand the destiny of the fox was to die in the trap or to live with the monk after being saved?! which destiny the monk disturbed that was rooted for the fox and he shall pay the price for, either to die in the trap to live with the monk or to be killed by the monk after his bad dream! can someone please let me know?
Someome can explain to me how this connects with the story?
How can I explain this in English... The man bring the wounded fox into his house to cure him. At night he dream that in the morning, the fox transform into a girl and she married him for save her back them. They have a happy life until the scene that the girl turn into yaoguai and kill everyone in his family, including their child. When he wake up, he decide to skin the fox. The question here is simple: Did the fox actually will do that in the future? Or it's just the dream that scared the man too much? No idea, because the man has taken the fox's life
This is a metaphor for ordinary practitioners who often dream of suddenly reaching the Pure Land, but reject the responsibility and fatigue after becoming a Buddha. Moreover, the man's good deeds, dreams, and killing actions are all the results of his own thoughts, the fox has nothing to do with it, but his fate is decided by this. This story is said to Wukong, his exorcism and demonic control depends on the karma of living beings, not just because of his strength and profound cultivation.
It's based on a side quest in chapter 3. The dead guy with the fox scarf.
It's all about the lines at 3:05
Men, beast, Buddhas, yaoguais
Can't be seen as equal. Cause they won't be equal.
Nature of all beings won't simply "just changed"
The king from second chapter chose to believe in yaoguais.
The man had the dream thought that he could form a family with the beast.
Both of them pay the price.
Aside from the side quest. From a philosophical perspective, very much. Did the man kill the fox purely because of his dream / delusion, or because he already believes that the fox was always gonna be a beast? Was Wukong not accepted by the sky people because of his actions, or because Wukong is always going to be a beast? Should Wukong accept his position or should he try to defy his destiny and his nature?

How is this game not diverse lol?! You could literally view this poor fox spirit as an allegory of trans people, the scholar believes 'The nature of the thing is more important than the form', so he is an allegory of bigots. In chapter 3, you can avenge the fox by fighting the scholar, this is the most diverse story I've ever heard. Now where's my game journalist money?

Its about the humanity , One mind Budha, one mind demon.
The man in the animation choose to save the poor fox , But killed it just after a dream , The fox is the innocent victim all alone.
Shows that the man is nothing more than a animal .and the player can realize that Human beast budha and yaoguai are all the same .Driven by their thoughts on a whim.
The so called superior and inferior is just something made up by the gods who wants to take control of everything.
It's less about about romance and more about the nature of creatures, you can save a carnivorous predator but it will not change what its intentions are, in the end it will try to kill you if it so chooses.

@@hungathome9427 is he know the fox was yaoguai the moment he wake up or he just killing normal fox because he scared about the dream??
@@psyferfulit's an ironic story about human perspective, something can change from good to bad or bad to good just in one thought. Human are also the easiest creatures to change their mind.
@@psyferful I think he's just scared
@@psyferful he scared about the dream
who is the fox eating in the end? isn't that his wife? so there are 2 foxes???
That was his wife. His wife was a fox that turned into human then turned back to a fox.
his son
Why censored?
Why was this random movie set out amongst the total 6 in the game? To impart the lesson on what Sun Wukong learnt the Jade Emperor and his court saw the world should be like. Clear divide, clear castes, that which is by nature perceived evil ought be treated as evil.
A wrong mindset.
Definitely had to avenge the fox. Killing a poor fox over a dream
Lingji himself is a prick, so you gotta take everything he says with a pinch of salt. Basically he's saying the castes should not intermingle.
Thank you for the video bro,I didn't record it when I played it myself.
