Hearing the system prompt, Huo Yuanzhen was shocked because he knew that the Eight Divisions were Buddhist protectors, and somehow they would appear in the abbot system, and they were also the Shaolin Eight Divisions

Buddhism believes that when the Buddha came to spread the Dharma, if there was no powerful protector, the Buddha would fall, so there were many protectors in the Buddha Kingdom. They can benefit sentient beings, and they can also take care of those who harm the Dharma, and the Dharma protectors have extraordinary supernatural powers and are invincible. Legend has it that when Shakyamuni Buddha did not become a Buddha in his past life, the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon swore to the void that once Shakyamuni became a Buddha, they would all be willing to become the protectors of Shakyamuni Buddha.

The eight deities are divided into: the Celestial Beings, the Naga Beings, the Asuras, the Garudas, the Yakshas, the Gandharvas, the Kinaras, and the Mahuragas.

According to the mythology of Tianzhu Buddhism, heaven refers to the gods, such as Brahmanism's creator god Brahma, as well as the leader of the gods, Shakti, and the god Shiva, who used his long hair to control the floods of the holy river Ganges, etc., all belong to the heavenly beings.

Among the eight tribes, Tian is the strongest.

In the eight novels of Jin Yong that Huo Yuanzhen knows, Qiao Feng, a generation of heroes, is considered to be a celestial.

The dragon refers to the dragons, known as naga in Sanskrit, who are meritorious servants of the Dharma and are responsible for raising clouds and rainfall.

In the Buddhist scriptures, the dragon has a large number of jewels, is the rich man in the sea, the dragon in the mythology and Buddhist scriptures is different from the Chinese legend, the dragon of Tianzhu includes a dragon similar to China, but also includes the python with the godhead, poisonous snakes and so on, the ancient Tianzhu people respect the dragon very much, that the water creatures are the greatest in the strength of the dragon, and the rain is the dragon from the sea to take water and sprinkle the world.

Among the eight tribes, the strength of the dragon is second only to the heavens.

In the novel Tianlong Babu, Duan Yu is considered to belong to the dragons.

Asura is a kind of evil god in mythology. Buddhist scriptures call an asura a "non-heaven" or "inferior heaven", which means to provoke war for no reason, the man is extremely ugly and the woman is extremely beautiful, he has similarities with the ghost, but he is not a ghost, he has seven emotions and six desires like a human, but he is not a human, he is a kind of monster who is not a god, a ghost, a non-human, and extremely ugly.

Asura and the Celestial Beings are mortal enemies, and it is said that the one who secretly drank the nectar and was cut off by the gods was a member of the Asura, but the immortal nectar he drank was cut off at the throat without going down to the stomach, so only the head rushed to the sky with resentment, turned into a dark star, and kept chasing the sun and the moon to bite, and because there was no lower body, it would fall out soon after eating, which was the reason for the solar and lunar eclipse.

The rest of Luo's body turned into another dark star.

Garuda, mythologically the mount of the great god Vishnu, the king of birds, is known to be the image of the golden-winged Roc bird.

Garuda lives on trees on four continents, his body is shining with gold, and his wingspan is 3.36 million miles long. .// When you are full, fly back to the tree to sleep.

Because Gu Tianzhu believed that the great snake in the sea was also a dragon, Garuda was also the sworn enemy of the dragons

Yaksha is a transliteration of Sanskrit, meaning swift and brave ghost, and in ancient Tianzhu mythology, Yaksha is a kind of demigod who is said to have been born from the soles of the feet of the great Brahma at the same time as the Rakshasa and the two sides are usually hostile to each other. Unlike Rakshasas, Yakshasas are friendly to humans and are therefore known as the "Sincere One". The image is sometimes depicted as a beautiful and athletic youth, and sometimes as a dwarf with a droopy belly.

Gandharva is the god of incense, and is said to be the god of music who serves Shakti. Gandharva is a symbol of joy and auspiciousness in Buddhism. It is described as a girl's image, with a plump body, flying streamers, and floating in the air, extremely graceful. In Hindu mythology, the goddess who does not eat wine and meat and only seeks aroma as nourishment, is a god who is familiar with and reveals the mysteries and sacred principles of the heavens, and is regarded as the embodiment of the sun's rays. Legend has it that they were one of the gods of music who served the gods, and they prepared suma sake for the gods, and they were the artistic people who dominated spices and music in the heavenly realm. ...,

And the flying sky in the Dunhuang murals that ordinary people see is Qianminpo.

Kinara, known as the god of song, the god of music, and the heaven of music, was originally a god in the myth of Tianzhu, and was later absorbed by Buddhism as the god of song in the eight parts of the heavenly dragon.

Mohu Luojia, the god of the python, the head of the human snake and the great strength, although he ranks last in the eight divisions of the heavenly dragon, but he is the legendary earth dragon, and his strength is in the middle of the eight tribes.

In the novel Tianlong Babu, Xuzhu is believed to be the earth dragon Mohu Luojia.

Among these eight tribes, the heavens and dragons are the leaders, so the eight tribes are sometimes called the eight divisions of the heavenly dragon.

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

The Eight Divisions are the protectors of Buddhism, and this is not a mythical world, so why is there such a mission?

At this time, the system prompt continued: "The host opens the Shaolin Eight Divisions Mission, recruits the Eight Divisions disciples to become Shaolin Dharma Protectors, the time limit is two years, and the mysterious prize will be obtained after completing the task." ”

Hearing this, Huo Yuanzhen breathed a sigh of relief a little relieved, it seems that these eight tribes are just a name.

It's like eighteen people such as Huiyi, they can still put eighteen Arhats array, but they are not really eighteen Arhats, but they are just a title.

For the mysterious prize, Huo Yuanzhen was a little itchy, this is the second mysterious prize promised to him by the system, the first mysterious prize is what he can get after the completion of Ayuka's study of the scriptures, and this time the eight public tasks are the second.

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

After the system prompted, a circle appeared, and eight names were written in eight directions: east, south, west, north, southeast, northeast, southwest, and northwest, and the titles of the eight tribes were written respectively.

The word for the East is the King of Heaven, the head of the Eight Divisions.

The word for the West is the Dragon King, the second of the Eight Divisions.

The word for the south is Asura, the sworn enemy of the Heavenly King, and his strength should be ranked third among the eight tribes.

The word for the north is Garuda, the sworn enemy of the Dragon King, and his strength ranks first among the eight tribes

To the northeast is the Nakshatra, to the northwest is the Gandharva, to the west is Kinara, and to the northwest is the Mahuraka.

The order of these four rankings is a bit out of order, and Huo Yuanzhen can't figure out which of these four people is strong and which is weak.

And now, the name of Mohuraka in the northwest has been lit up, and there is a small name behind it called Huigang.

This is automatically selected by the system according to the characteristics of the individual, and Hui Gang is also the first apprentice recruited by Huo Yuanzhen.

The Yaksha pattern in the northeast is also lit up now, and there is a small name called Huiyuan in the back, which is Huo Yuanzhen's disciple Wang Yuan, who has just recruited, and is also the key to the opening of the mission of the Eight Divisions.

Seeing this, Huo Yuan really thought, such a task is inevitably a little simpler, as long as he recruits six more innate mid-stages, then he can complete this eight-part task and directly get the mysterious prize.

But as soon as he thought of this, the system prompted again: "The opening of the Eight Ministries task must find a suitable candidate to recruit, and those who do not meet the requirements will not be able to carry out the empowerment." ”

Huo Yuanzhen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "How can I know which one is the right person?"

"When you meet the right person, the system will prompt. ”

"What if you can't complete the Shaolin Eight Tribes task within two years?"

Hearing that the system would prompt if he met the right candidate, Huo Yuanzhen couldn't help but be a little anxious, in this way, he would have to go out to hit the luck, in case he couldn't meet the right one, wouldn't he be in a hurry.

"If you can't complete the tasks of the Shaolin Eight Divisions within two years, the skills of the disciples recruited will be withdrawn. ”

Hearing this, Huo Yuan was really a little distressed, this is really not easy to do, he can recruit at will at first, but as soon as the tasks of these eight departments are opened, there will be restrictions on recruitment. ...,

I don't know if the system thinks that recruiting disciples has allowed Shaolin's strength to develop too quickly, and deliberately made such a Shaolin Eight Sect task to make things difficult for him.

But of course, it can't be said that for the sake of the mysterious prize in the future, Huo Yuanzhen can only pinch his nose and accept the task of the Shaolin Eight Divisions.

After accepting the task, Huo Yuanzhen walked out of the door of the abbot's courtyard, and when he came to the door, he saw where Hui Yuan was standing, with a somewhat strange expression.

"Huiyuan, what's wrong?"

"Master, why did your old man come out?"

Huo Yuanzhen rubbed his nose, he was extremely unaccustomed to the title of old man, but it was hard to say that he could only say with a little embarrassment: "My old man is tired, come out to move his muscles and bones." ”

Hui Yuan didn't feel inappropriate about his title at all, and said to Huo Yuanzhen: "Master, I don't know what happened just now, the disciple feels that there is something different in his head. ”

"What's the difference?"

"The disciple didn't understand, but I just felt that I should be here to protect the master and protect Shaolin.

After a pause after finishing speaking, Hui Yuan tentatively said to Huo Yuanzhen: "Master, do you say that the name Yaksha is good?"

"I think it's good for the teacher, it's very imposing. ”

Huo Yuanzhen's heart was secretly moved, as soon as this task was started, his disciples all had senses, and he didn't know if Hui Gang, who was far away on the way to learn the scriptures, would feel anything.

"Hehe, that disciple thinks that if the disciple walks on the rivers and lakes in the future, he will call himself the Shaolin disciple Huiyuan, nicknamed Yaksha, what do you think, Master?"

"Yes, since you think it's good, then it's called so in the future, remember, you still have a senior brother, but you can't come back in a short time, maybe in the future, you will have a lot of other brothers, you must get along with each other, strictly abide by the rules and precepts of my Buddhism, no lies, no adultery, no one. ”

Although it is the second time to accept apprentices, but this is the first real sense of education, Huo Yuanzhen felt particularly enjoyable for a while, and said foaming at the mouth, no wonder the teachers who went to school when they were children were so able to say that they were so enjoyable, it turned out that educating others was so enjoyable, and when he was enjoying the feeling of being a teacher, suddenly the footsteps outside sounded, and a team of officials came over.

Huo Yuanzhen frowned, what did this official do when he came to his Shaolin Temple? After Guan Tianzhao fell, there were no people in the official palace who made trouble with Shaolin Temple.

But after taking a closer look, Huo Yuanzhen found that the officials of this team seemed to have been ravaged, with blue noses and swollen faces.

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

As soon as the magistrate saw Huo Yuanzhen, he immediately shouted loudly, with a handful of snot and tears, shouting to the heavens and the earth: "Oh! Master Abbot! I can be regarded as seeing you, you must be the master of the official!"
