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.

“The rats has obeyed the rule . “ subtle mockery of British museum still keeping lingji’s head lol

[blacklight]

Traditionally these singers also act as storytellers, so their songs are actually a story in and of itself.

[dreamer]

Guess his time at the British Museum made him a bit Scottish, huh?

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.

He can sing in Chinese, can also talk in Scottish 😂

In case you wonder where his head is, it is in British museum. BTW, he is Lingji Buddha.

[makedredd]

I’m Scottish and I approve of this song! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🎸

[garudanathanael]

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!

[Kailibane]

Love this guy. Kill a boss and he comes out of nowhere to just sing.

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.

[Suprstitious]

The culture in this game is magical and hypnotic. I love it so much!

He is a Buddha whose head is in the British museum stolen when Britain invaded China in the 19th century and

[lexex]

Ah yes, the Brits fucking stole his head.

[vincenthuang]

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.

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

[monowang]

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!😃

Just got past this area, and I love his story. Plus his music freaking claps.
