《黑神话：悟空》中的佛学寓言：金蝉子与黄眉的哲学对决

《黑神话：悟空》中的一段过场动画展现了金蝉子和黄眉变经所表达出的预言似的佛学和哲学思考。这个关卡的过场动画发生在夜深露重之时，值得玩味。

金蝉子认为，根据佛学，众生皆有慧根，应该众生平等。那么为何还会有贵贱之分？为何人人只能受苦难，在神佛菩萨面前也只有跪拜、烧香的份？黄眉则认为，因为众生愚痴，不如这些已经开悟的神佛，所以需要神佛去拯救世人，世人也要对神佛礼佛拜佛。

于是，在满天神佛的见证下，二人打了一个赌，进行了一场社会实验，看到底谁的观点正确，谁输谁赢。黄眉下界变成了一只长着象鼻虎爪的怪物，被渔民网捞起来。这段剧情动画表现得非常棒，观众仿佛透过黄眉的视角咽下凡的过程，颇有打破第四面墙的意味。

黄眉被打捞起来之后，被众人抬肩扛，带到了一个小渔村。这个小渔村一副破败景象，宛如末世，象征着佛教中所说的末法时代。也就是佛法已经被人们忘记或扭曲得差不多了，没有人能够真正理解佛法的时期。这里居民贫穷生活困苦，一个个形容枯槁，儿童也是奄奄一息。看到黄眉化身的怪物，村民畏惧，不敢上前。

此时，黄眉开始展现神迹：划破身上的一个水泡，里面流出的是珍珠金银，把它交给穷人；取下身上的一块皮屑，放到奄奄一息的婴儿嘴里，婴儿立刻活蹦乱跳；一口口水，倒在老人身上，他们立刻变得年轻漂亮。这些神迹让渔村村民立刻相信眼前这个丑陋的怪物就是佛祖下凡、弥勒在世的救世主。村民开始建庙，将它供奉起来，用打来的水产供养。

黄眉也毫不客气，大块朵颐。让他高兴的时候，也会施法在海上掀起一股龙卷风，将海底的鱼卷到天上，然后落进村里，免得渔民们出海去风浪搏斗，冒生命之险。

一次，渔民们举办仪式将黄眉礼拜。黄眉也像他刚到这个村子时一样，划破自己皮肤上的几个水泡，流出一些珍珠金银，而官差则负责维护秩序，将这些金银分发给穷人。只是人群当中有一个男子神情癫狂，眼里放着贪婪的光。按我的理解，此人应该是没被黄眉控制神智。他突然冲出人群，朝黄眉化身的怪物身上划了个大口子。从里面流出来的不是鲜血，是一大滩闪闪发光的珍珠金银。负责维持秩序的官差连忙一棍子将此人打翻在地，这人完全不顾自己被打得变形的脸和疼痛，继续去抢夺从黄眉体内流到地上的财宝。

被狠狠划了一刀的黄眉也只是惨叫一声，并未使出什么特别厉害的法术。众人看到这一幕，先是愣了一下，发现黄眉并不反击，于是蜂拥而上，纷纷割裂黄眉的身体，争抢他体内的财宝。最后连小孩还有和尚僧侣都加入到了这场狂欢当中。

黄眉只剩下一副残躯，而这个因为他的来临而一度繁盛的小村又回归到了开始时残破衰败的末世景象。可以说，这个小渔村这个小小的样本展现了人类历史治乱循环。此时，被瓜分得只剩一堆烂肉的黄眉坐在海边，金蝉子出场了："贤弟，此番下界可是花了好些时间了，对吧？"

"对，这一次我又赢了。"黄眉回答道。因为这场社会实验再次证明了凡人愚痴，容易被虚幻的财富所蛊惑，放弃道德，甚至自相残杀，最终陷入完全的混乱。

金蝉子却不以为然，淡然地说了一句："惑乱人心，倒果为因。"戳穿了黄眉作弊了。

A cutscene in Black Myth: Wukong shows the prophetic Buddhist and philosophical reflections expressed by Jincicada and Huang Mei's sutras. The cutscenes in this level, which take place in the dead of night, are worth entertaining.

Jincicada believes that according to Buddhism, all living beings have the root of wisdom and should be equal to all living beings. So why is there such a thing as high and low? Why is it that everyone can only suffer, and in front of gods, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, they can only bow down and burn incense? Huang Mei believes that because sentient beings are stupid, they are not as good as these enlightened gods and Buddhas, so the gods and Buddhas are needed to save the world, and the world should also worship the gods and Buddhas.

So, under the witness of the gods and Buddhas, the two made a bet and conducted a social experiment to see who was right, who lost and who won. The yellow eyebrows became a monster with elephant nose tiger claws, which was picked up by fishermen's nets. This plot animation performance is very good, the audience seems to swallow through the perspective of yellow eyebrows, quite the meaning of breaking the fourth wall.

After being salvaged, Huang Mei was shouldered by all and brought to a small fishing village. This small fishing village has a dilapidated scene that looks like the last days, symbolizing what Buddhism calls the end of the Dharma era. This is the time when the Dharma has been forgotten or distorted so much that no one can really understand it. The people here live in poverty and misery, one by one is haggard, and the children are dying. Seeing the monster with yellow eyebrows, the villagers were afraid and did not dare to come forward.

At this time, yellow eyebrows began to perform miracles: cut a blister on his body, and out of it flowed pearls and gold, and gave it to the poor; Take a piece of skin from the body, put it in the mouth of the dying baby, and the baby immediately sprang to life; A mouthful of saliva, poured on the old man, they immediately become young and beautiful. These miracles made the villagers of the fishing village immediately believe that the ugly monster in front of them was the savior of Buddha and Maitreya. The villagers began to build temples, consecrate it and feed it with water.

Yellow eyebrows are also not polite, big eat. When he is happy, he will also cast a tornado at sea, roll the fish under the sea to the sky, and then fall into the village, so that the fishermen go to sea to fight the wind and waves, risking their lives.

Once, the fishermen held a ceremony to worship the yellow eyebrows. As he had done when he first arrived in the village, Yellow Mei broke a few blisters on his skin and spilled some pearls and gold and silver, which the officials were responsible for maintaining order and distributing to the poor. Only one man in the crowd looked mad, with a greedy light in his eyes. As far as I'm concerned, this man is not under the control of the yellow eyebrows. He burst out of the crowd and made a big cut at the yellow-browed creature. It was not blood that flowed from it, but a great pool of glittering pearls and gold. The official in charge of maintaining order quickly knocked the man to the ground with a stick, and the man completely ignored his deformed face and pain from the beating, and continued to rob the treasure flowing from the yellow eyebrow to the ground.

The yellow eyebrow, which had been severely cut, only screamed, and did not use any particularly powerful spells. When they saw this scene, they first froze for a moment and found that Huangmei did not fight back, so they swarmed, cut the body of Huangmei, and fought for the treasure in his body. Eventually even children and monks joined in the party.

Huangmei is left with only a broken body, and the village that was once flourishing because of his arrival returns to the end-time scene of decay at the beginning. You could say that this small fishing village is a small sample of the cycle of human history. At this time, the yellow eyebrows, which were divided into a pile of rotten meat, sat on the beach, and the golden cicada appeared: "Brother, it took a long time for this descent, didn't it?"

"Yes, because this experiment proves that hope can eventually be abandoned. Their savior listens to morality if..." Yellow eyebrow replied.

Jincicada son did not think so: "Unnecessary. This is one foot higher than the devil. So really, you're either not there or you're officially there."
