The Fall of the Loong Princes | Black Myth Wukong Lore

[@jeffreyzhou1314]

The part where the Jing river Loong king manipulated the amount of rain out of the bet with Yuan Shoucheng fits so perfectly and ironically with IGN and the votes episode.

[@احمدمسلم-و7ل]

Cheating on the numbers to win will incur a pathetic ending.😂

[@mariapazgonzalezlesme]

It's honestly fasciniting how the writing and story humanize these divine beings with fears, wishes and virtues. It feels both tragic and ironic that despite their might, everyone is a unwitting pawn from someone's game. Amazing analysis!

[@hisousihou]

The Loong King manipulated data to win a bet and ended up being beheaded for his crime. IGN should face a similar consequence.

[@王鹤澄]

bro😆

[@SuperRONDALE]

Explain this to me. What did they do this time?

[@ericguo8716]

​@SuperRONDALE they made a poll to help decide on game of the year. Wukong was winning it by 90%. But people began to notice at some point, in only one hour, it dropped down to 70%. Someone else did some data analysis, and discerned that IGN was using bots to bring down the numbers.

[@SuperRONDALE]

@@ericguo8716 smh there has to be better ways to spend their resources

[@TheeDrill.]

I love this comment bro😂

[@keroro407]

Yellow Loong: What is to be our destiny? Yuan Shou Cheng: You are to be a weapon for the Destined One. Yellow Loong: Oh my Buddha.

Out of all the loremasters of BM:W on youtube, you are the one that devled the deepest. Respect.

[@hisousihou]

A small detail to add: the sixth child of the Jing River's Loong King, the Wen-shou Loong(稳兽龙, means Stable-Beast-Loong), doesn't have its own river or water domain. Instead, it resides within the decorative components of traditional Chinese palace roofs. In ancient Chinese architecture, these roof ridges were often adorned with symbolic or functional figures, believed to bring good fortune and improve Feng Shui. In Black Myth, there’s a special currency-exchange item called the Golden Wen-shou(valued at 6,000 will), which refers to these ridge creatures made of gold, and the design is based on the sixth child of the Jing River's Loong King, the Wen-shou Loong.

[@TheLorebrarians]

Very insightful info, appreciate it!

[@alexandervolgzangief6759]

Great content. The lore in Black Myth: Wukong is very rich and intriguing.

[@Aka_xuan]

It is worth mentioning that if you go to China, you will find that many Chinese people put portraits of the two generals on the doors of their homes. This is because it is said that Tang Taizong failed to fulfill his promise to the Dragon King, which caused the Dragon King to be beheaded. Therefore, the Dragon King would come to Tang Taizong to complain to him in his dreams every day. Tang Taizong did not dare to sleep because of fear, so someone thought of letting him His two strongest generals, Qin Shubao and Yuchi Jingde, stood at the door of his bedroom every night to protect him so that the Dragon King's soul could no longer come to him in his dreams. But these two generals also needed to sleep. They had to stand at the door of the emperor's bedroom every night. Their bodies couldn't bear it, so they thought of pasting their own portraits on the emperor's door to continue to block the Dragon King's soul. Therefore, many Chinese people will paste a portrait of the two generals on the door of their home on New Year's Day to pray for the health and safety of the whole family in the new year.

[@Aka_xuan]

In the novel, the Dragon King knew that he might be punished, so he asked Yuan Shoucheng to have his fate calculated again. Yuan deduced that the Dragon King was going to be beheaded by Wei Zheng, so the Dragon King went to Tang Taizong to ask for help. Tang Taizong agreed to the Dragon King and asked Wei Zheng to play chess. . As long as Wei Zheng did not kill the Dragon King at the time specified by God, the Dragon King would not need to die. But Wei Zheng fell asleep while playing chess. Emperor Taizong saw that Wei Zheng was by his side and had no chance to kill the Dragon King, so he did not disturb Wei Zheng's sleep. As a result, Wei Zheng killed the Dragon King in his dream. This is why Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty had dreams. Encounter the spirit of the Dragon King.

[@Aka_xuan]

Wei Zheng is a real person in Chinese history. He was the prime minister of the Tang Empire. He was a very upright and brave man. If the emperor had any bad behavior, he dared to criticize the emperor and ask the emperor to change. Fortunately, Tang Taizong was also a very modest person. Although he would make mistakes, he would still listen to Wei Zheng's suggestions and correct his missteps, so the Tang Dynasty reached its peak.

[@ToniOkami18]

The story for BMW is incredible. It’s brilliant game planning and lore kudos to the creators and thanks to you as well for covering this too. Also, I don’t know if you saw, but there’s a trailer where Yellow Loong is the one painting that very canvas in Yellow Wind Ridge and recites the same passage Yuan does.

[@bryanc7094]

Thank you for covering the Loong family of Dragons.

[@artthewng3124]

[@dighad3824]

0:13 "Loong ago,..." i see what you did there

[@DetectiveBlackCat]

If you are interested in real historical link. Here is some side stories. Although, Yuan ShouCheng only appears in Journey to west and is probably a fictional character. But he is said to be the Uncle of Yuan TianGang who is a real historical figure. You can google his stories. He is one of the most respected ancient scholar, mathematician, astronomer, and fortune teller in China. He wrote many books passed down to this date. One of the most famous prophecy book he wrote is called Tui bei tu. This book predicted the fall of Qing empire, the Sino-Japanese War, and each prophecy has a riddle and a drawing. Many are yet to unfold.

[@JoJoJ-114]

When IGN changed the results of the poll, we remembered why the Jing River Loong was executed, because he altered the amount of rain that he supposed to release😂

[@abam9787]

15:11 This is both awesome and sad at the same time. The will of all four are gone while their mighty essence fused into the Golden Loong Staff, becoming a tool of vengeance against the Celestial Court, carried by the Destined One.

[@Danilli29]

I loved the video, I would have liked a little more dialogue from the other dragons besides Yellow Loong but I can't complain, they were excellent fights against them, Yellow Loong being one of the best in the game. They fit the stories/themes of the game quite well in terms of destiny, life, death and freedom.

[@darkstarkenster]

look who has just uploaded an video, it is my favorite lore teller😃

[@swordqz]

In Chinese mythology, when immortals enter the mortal world, they often change their appearance to adapt to the mortal environment, or their souls reborn in a womb. If you know the story of Bajie, you will find that Bajie was originally a general in heaven, and then was born in a pig's womb. So it is not contradictory whether the four loong princes are fragments of weapons or sons of the Loong King. They can be fragments of weapons and then reincarnate as sons of the Loong King.

[@chrondeath6142]

The timing doesn't work on this. The Loong King was executed before the start of the journey to the west, the staff was used against the Yellow Wind Sage during the journey. They can't be in the staff AND running around as individual dragons at the same time.

[@swordqz]

@@chrondeath6142 The Loong was dead,right.The sons lived.

[@chrondeath6142]

@@swordqz But the point is that the Loong King's sons were--presumably--born before he died, and the staff was in use after he died. If the staff was fragmented and then incarnated as the Loong Princes, the staff would have been broken before it could be used against the Yellow Wind Sage.

[@earllan2992]

When you think you could secretly change the data and got away~

[@chrondeath6142]

The dragon of Black-Water River that attacked the pilgrims in JTTW chapter 43 was one of the executed dragon king's sons, wasn't he? Do we have any idea if that was one of the ones we fought?

[@plushsu8078]

maybe in the DLC. in JTTW, The dragon of Black-Water River was defeated by his cousin, the crown prince of the west sea, by the order of loong King of the west sea. And I need to add that, there a many loong kings. The four most prestigious Dragon Kings are the Four Seas Dragon Kings (they are brothers), who control the East Sea, West Sea, South Sea, and North Sea. The status of the Jinghe Dragon King (who married a sister of the Four Seas Dragon Kings) is slightly inferior, as he controls the water system near the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an. Chang'an is today's Xi'an.

[@adawg3032]

The storm flash loong staff, the final one you can unlock, has details of all the loongs on it. Including incense burners.

[@kimishen6147]

What did IGN do to black myth wukong in its voting is similar to the story of long king of jingle river.😂

[@XieQiu]

Amazing work!

[@saleenasalam]

Wukong’s combat skills are impressive, but can he help me dodge my responsibilities like that?"

[@WymondTheWerewolf]

Wukong's staff hits harder than my Monday mornings.

[@mingchiisuen2576]

The night on IGN manipulating data, 'For what deed...', they hear.

[@katemc516]

The four brothers are the adopted sons of the long king, so they are still the fragments of the staff

[@plushsu8078]

yes I think so. the 8-clawed Jin Loong of that weapon wanted freedom, so he splitted into 4 small dragons and fled to hide as sons of Loong King of Jing River.

[@XieQiu]

Such in-depth analysis. Have you gotten a chance to look up the theories about the envious tongue relic? How when the relic is first acquired, it has all the 7 seeds intact but when it ends up in the inventory, only 6 seeds are left? Game Science deliberately made two different models.

[@TheLorebrarians]

Appreciate it! And I have not, definitely something to look into

[@张易-x1b]

Bajie wants to use one to revive his lover.

[@黄微-j2j]

Please check how to obtain the "Preservation Orb" and you will get this touching story.

[@davidcui4395]

I think they are fragments of staff, the golden loong in the staff was soul of Jing river loong king, when Buddha or linji find this soul will be out of control, they just separated this powerful loong soul into 4 pieces and become 4 loongs, so it is reasonable that they called jing river loong father. Buddha pretended to free them from the confinement of loong staff, but the fact is, they plan the destined one to recast the staff, a more obedient staff. It is just like the fate Buddha arranged for the destined one, killed the undisciplined sun wukong, and replace him by a young guy called the destined one😂

You're the superstar!

these are the 4 loong's of the river there are 4 other loong's out there i wonder if we will ever see them in black myth wu kong maybe in a DLC ?

If I had Wukong’s agility, I’d be the star of every game of tag… and avoid all adulting

[@touremuhammad5983]

What’s disappointing is that Yellow Loong is the only Loong Transformation in the game. They don’t let you take Cyan Loong’s sword or Black Loong’s Thunder Mace. Hell, they don’t even let you take the Spirits of the other Loong brothers.

[@adawg3032]

We don’t take yellow loongs spirit either, we take his weapon

Is Yuan Shou cheng also one of wukong’s first master disciple?
