Chapter 352 The Dragon and the Eight Parts

When Huo Yuanzhen heard the system prompt, the reason why he was shocked was because he knew that the Eight Tribes were Buddhist guardians, and somehow they would appear in the abbot's system, and they were also the Eight Tribes of Shaolin.

Buddhism believes that when the Buddha came to the world to spread the Dharma, if there were no effective guardians, the Buddha's path would fall, so there were many guardian gods in the Buddha's kingdom. They could benefit sentient beings, and they could also accept those who harm the Dharma. The guardian gods of various departments had extraordinary supernatural powers and abilities, and were invincible. According to legend, when Shakyamuni Buddha had not become a Buddha in his past life, the eight divisions of the Heavenly Dragons and Dragons swore to the void that once Shakyamuni became a Buddha, they all wished to become Shakyamuni's guardians.

The eight tribes are specifically divided into: heavenly beings, dragon beings, Asuras, Garula, Yasha, Gandharva, Kinnara, and Makhraka.

According to the Buddhist myth of India, heaven refers to the gods of heaven, such as Brahmanism, the creation god of Brahmanism, the leader of the gods, Indra, and Shiva, who uses long hair to control the floods of the holy river Ganges, etc., all belong to the gods.

Among the eight tribes, Tianwei is the strongest.

In the novel "The Legend of the Dragon" by Huo Yuanzhen, the hero Qiao Feng of the generation was considered to be the celestial community.

The dragon refers to the dragon crowd, which is called Naga in Sanskrit. It is a meritorious minister who protects Buddhism and specializes in promoting clouds and rain.

In Buddhist scriptures, dragons have a lot of jewelry and are rich in the sea. The dragons in the Indian myths and Buddhist scriptures are different from those in Chinese legends. The dragons in the Indian scriptures include dragons similar to China, as well as pythons with divine natures, poisonous snakes, etc. The ancient Indians respected dragons very much and believed that the dragons were the most powerful of the creatures in the water. When it rained, the dragons drew water from the sea and sprinkled them on the earth.

Among the eight tribes, dragon is second only to heaven.

In the novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Duan Yu is considered to belong to the Dragon Clan.

Asura is an evil god in mythology. Buddhist scriptures call Asura "non-heaven" or "inferior heaven", which means provoking war for no reason. Men are extremely ugly and women are extremely beautiful. They have similarities with ghosts, but they are not ghosts. They have seven emotions and six desires like humans, but they are not humans. They are a monster that is not gods, non-ghosts, non-humans, and extremely ugly.

Asura and the heavenly people are mortal enemies. It is said that Luohu, who secretly drank nectar and was chopped off his head by the gods, was a member of Asura. However, the immortal nectar he drank did not drink but was beheaded when he reached his throat. Therefore, only his head rushed to the sky with resentment, turned into a dark star Luo throat star, constantly chasing the sun and the moon biting it. Because he had no lower body, he would fall out soon after he was eaten. This is the reason for the solar eclipse and lunar eclipse.

Luohu's remaining body turned into another dark star, the Strike Star.

Garula, in mythology, is the mount of the great god Vishnu and the king of all birds. As people know, Garula is the image of the golden-winged roc.

Garula lives on a big tree in the four continents, shining golden light, and its wingspan is 3.36 million miles long. It usually relies on eating big snakes in the sea to feed. It is said that Garula has a great appetite and eats a big snake king and five hundred small snakes every day. When he eats it, he flies back to the tree to sleep.

Because ancient Tianzhu believed that the big snake in the sea was also a dragon, Garuda was also the mortal enemy of the dragons.

Yasha is a transliteration of Sanskrit, meaning a swift and brave ghost. In ancient Indian mythology, Yasha is a demigod. It is said that he and Rakshasa were born from the soles of Brahma's feet at the same time. The two sides are usually hostile to each other. Yasha is different from Rakshasa and is friendly to humans, so it is called the "sincerity". Its image is sometimes described as a beautiful and strong young man, and sometimes it is also described as a dwarf with drooping abdomen.

Gandharva is the god of incense, which is said to be the god who serves Indharva and plays music. Gandharva is a symbol of joy and auspiciousness in Buddhism. It is described as a girl with a plump body, with a flying ribbon, floating in the air, and is extremely beautiful. In Indian mythology, Gandharva is a god who does not eat wine and meat, but only seeks aroma as nourishment, and emits fragrance on his body. He is familiar with and reveals the mysteries and holy principles of heaven, and is regarded as the incarnation of the sun's flames. According to legend, he is one of the gods who serve Indharva. They prepare Somo wine for the gods, and are an artistic nation in the heaven that dominates spices and music.

The flying sky in the Dunhuang murals that ordinary people see are Gandharvas.

Jinnara, known as the God of Songs, the God of Songs, and the Heaven of Music, was originally a god in the mythology of Heaven and Dragons, and was later absorbed by Buddhism as the God of Songs in the Eight Tribes of Heaven and Dragons.

Makhuraka, the great python god, human body and snake head. He is extremely powerful. Although he ranks last in the Eight Tribes of the Heavenly Dragons, he is the legendary Earth Dragon, and his strength is in the middle of the Eight Tribes.

Among the novel "The Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragons", Xu Zhu is considered to be the Earth Dragon Mokhura.

Among these eight tribes, Tianhelong is headed by Tian and Long, so the eight tribes are sometimes called Tianlong Eight Tribes.

Because of this, Huo Yuanzhen felt shocked when he saw the eight missions prompted by the system.

The Eight Tribes are Buddhist guardians, and this is not a mythical world. Why does this have such a task?

At this time, the system prompted to continue: "The host starts the mission of the eight Shaolin tribes and recruits the eight Shaolin disciples to become Shaolin guardians. The time limit is two years, and after completing the mission, you will receive a mysterious prize."

Hearing this, Huo Yuanzhen breathed a little relieved. It seemed that these eight tribes were just a name.

Just like Huiyi and the eighteen people, they can still set up the Eighteen Arhat Formation, but they are not the real Eighteen Arhats, but they are just a title.

Huo Yuanzhen felt a little itchy about the mysterious prize. This was the second mysterious prize promised by the system. The first mysterious prize was something that he could get after Ayuga completed the sutra. This time the eight missions are the second.

According to Huo Yuanzhen's guess, this mysterious prize must be a good thing that surpasses advanced martial arts, but I can't guess what it is.

After the system prompts, a circle appeared, with eight names written in the eight directions of east, south, west, northeast, northeast, southwest, and northwest respectively, with the titles of the Eight Tribes.

The word "Oriental" is the king of heaven and the head of the eight tribes.

The words in the West are the second among the Dragon King and the Eight Tribes.

The words in the south are Asura, the mortal enemy of the Heavenly King, and their strength should rank third among the eight tribes.

The words in the north are Garuda, the mortal enemy of the Dragon King, and their strength ranks fourth among the eight tribes.

The northeast is Yaksha, the northwest is Gandharva, the southwest is Kinnara, and the northwest is Makhraka.

The order of these four rankings is somewhat indistinguishable. Huo Yuanzhen couldn't figure out which of these four people is strong and which one is weak.

Now the name of Makhuraga in the northwest has been lit, and there is a small name behind it called Huigang.

This is automatically selected by the system based on personal characteristics, and Huigang is also Huo Yuanzhen's first apprentice recruited.

The yaksha pattern in the northeast is now lit up, and there is a small name behind it called Huiyuan, which is Wang Yuan, a disciple who Huo Yuanzhen just recruited, and it is also the key to starting the mission of the Eight Tribes.

Seeing this, Huo Yuan really thought that such a task was a little easier. As long as he recruited six innate mid-stages, he could complete the eight missions and directly receive mysterious prizes.

But just now he thought of this, the system prompted him again: "The eight divisions missions are activated, and you must find a suitable candidate to recruit them. If you do not meet the requirements, you will not be able to receive the initiation."

Huo Yuanzhen was stunned and hurriedly said, "How can I know which one is the right candidate?"

"When you meet the right candidate, the system will give a prompt."

"What if the mission of the Eight Shaolin tribes cannot be completed within two years?"

Huo Yuan was really anxious when he heard that he had to meet the right candidate system. In this way, he would have to go out to meet the good fortune. If he couldn't meet the right candidate, wouldn't he be anxious?

"If the mission of the Eight Shaolin tribes cannot be completed within two years, the skills of the disciples recruited will be taken back."

Hearing this, Huo Yuan was really distressed. It was really not easy to deal with. He could recruit any of his own at the beginning, but as soon as these eight missions were started, there were restrictions on recruitment.

I don’t know if the system thinks that recruiting disciples has allowed Shaolin to develop its strength too quickly, so I deliberately created such a task from the Eight Shaolin tribes to make things difficult for me.

But of course I can't say that. For the sake of the mysterious prizes in the future, Huo Yuanzhen had no choice but to pinch his nose and accept the mission of the Eight Shaolin tribes.

After accepting the task, Huo Yuanzhen walked out of the gate of the abbot's courtyard and came to the door. When he saw Huiyuan standing there, his expression was a little strange.

"Huiyuan, what's wrong?"

"Ah! Master, why did you come out?"

Huo Yuanzhen rubbed his nose and was extremely uncomfortable with the name of the old man, but it was hard to say to him. He could only say a little embarrassedly: "I am tired, so I come out to exercise my muscles and bones."

Huiyuan didn't feel inappropriate about his name at all, and said to Huo Yuanzhen: "Master, I don't know what happened just now. The disciple felt that there was something different in his head."

“What’s the difference?”

"I can't understand it either. I just think that I should protect my master and Shaolin here..."

After saying that, Huiyuan paused for a moment, and tentatively said to Huo Yuanzhen: "Master, do you say the name Yasha sounds good?"

"I think it's good and very imposing."

Huo Yuanzhen's heart was moved secretly. As soon as this mission was started, his disciples were all in response. I don't know if Huigang, who was far away on the way to obtain the scriptures, would feel.

"Hehe, that disciple thinks that if the disciple walks in the world in the future, he will call himself Shaolin disciple Huiyuan, nicknamed Yasha, Master, what do you think?"

"That's right. Since you think it's good, then I'll call it that way from now on. Remember, you have a senior brother, but you can't come back in a short period of time. Maybe in the future, you will have many other senior brothers. You must get along well with each other, strictly abide by the rules and regulations of my Buddhist school, and do not lie, do not be lustful, or......"

Although it was the second time to accept a disciple, this was the first time to educate him in the true sense. Huo Yuanzhen felt particularly satisfied for a moment, and he was talking all the words. No wonder when he was a child, all the teachers were so able to speak. It turned out that educating others was so satisfying. Just as he was enjoying the feeling of being a teacher, suddenly, footsteps sounded outside and a team of officials came over.

Huo Yuanzhen frowned. What did this official send me to his Shaolin Temple? After Guan Tianzhao fell, no official in the government asked for trouble for Shaolin Temple.

But after a closer look, Huo Yuanzhen realized that the team of officials seemed to have been ravaged, with a bruised and swollen face.

The person who took the lead was actually the new magistrate of the county. He had come to worship Buddha twice, and Huo Yuanzhen recognized it.

When the magistrate saw Huo Yuanzhen, he immediately shouted loudly, sniffled and cried, shouting: "Oh! Master Abbot! It's considered that he has seen you, you must make the decision for me!"
