Chapter 16: The Older Jedi Young Disciple Fu Qinghai
"It is an energy field created by all living beings that surrounds and permeates us. It has the energy to condense the entire galaxy. ”
- Obi-Wan Kenobi
"In the cultivation process of the Jedi Temple, the Jedi Cubs need to form various training groups according to their personality preferences to live in a group."
In the stone room covered with brown vines and green moss, Old Man Hu Xian asked with a smile:
"Do you like the brave bears, the persistent dragons, the stealthy Katarn, or the pious and intuitive Bogufa?"
Fu Qinghai rolled his eyes:
"Jedi Cubs make the choice, and I want them all."
Old man Hu Xian put away his smiling old face and said:
"Okay, I'm not kidding you, I'm also a Jedi Order that I joined directly as an adult, so I haven't joined these messy Junior Training Groups either, let's start directly with the steps of meditation."
"Have you meditated before?"
Fu Qinghai said: "Yes." ”
Space Marines rely on meditation to activate the Sasian meninges, and White Scar has always had a tradition of meditation, this tradition was requested by Chagatai Khan for genetic reasons, and Ogedai explained to Fu Qinghai to reflect on himself and the gains and losses of the battle, but this reason is not to the extent that it needs to be mandatory, and Fu Qinghai has always guessed that there may be deeper reasons.
Old man Hu Xian said:
"It's good to have a foundation in meditation, for Jedi young disciples, meditation is equivalent to practicing child's skills from an early age, but for adults who have not received training in this area, it is very difficult to enter a state of meditation, many people once they close their eyes, all kinds of thoughts will come to their minds uncontrollably, and they will begin to think differently and cranky, and they can't do it without distractions."
How many organs can a person, as the master of his own body, control over his body? Rarely, not only can you not control your heartbeat, you can't control gastrointestinal peristalsis, you can't control the circulation of body fluids, and you can't even control your brain.
There is a very vivid example in "Inception".
When someone tells you "don't imagine an elephant", the first thing that comes to your mind is an elephant.
This is the "pink elephant" effect in psychology.
It reflects how difficult it is for a person to have complete and complete control over their minds, to be free of distractions.
"Before we get into meditation, I'm going to test your knowledge of the Force, what do you think the Force is?"
This question stopped Fu Qinghai.
In his previous life, he read a lot of online articles about fantasy cultivation.
As soon as the protagonists get the cheats of the exercises, they start to practice, and as soon as they practice, they either rely on their talent or hard work.
No one has ever thought about what this thing I practiced, the "aura" between heaven and earth, the energy in the body, and this "qi", what is it?
What is the Force?
In Jiang Wen's words, the Force is "really fucking good".
Fu Qinghai's mind turned, and he suddenly said:
"The Force is not anything, the Force is a setting of George Lucas."
Star Wars is a European and American science fiction text, so why bother to get to the bottom of it.
Old man Hu Xian laughed and said:
"You seem to see the essence of the problem through the appearance, but in fact, you are just shaking a wit, there is no answer to this question, and maybe the industrial light and magic don't know what the Force is."
"The Jedi Order has been studying the Force for centuries, and their perception and perception of the Force is not immutable, but also constantly innovating, from the earliest dualistic Force theory of the Light Force and the Dark Force, to the more popular Unified Force Theory and Life Force Theory, all trying to explain the nature of the Force."
The representative of the theory of the Force of Life is Anakin Skywalker's master, Obi-Wan Kenobi.
"All of these Force theories have their own flaws and inexplicable places, and perhaps in the future, you can also come up with your own Force theory, the Unification of the Force Theory, to explain all the Force phenomena in the Star Wars universe."
"Without further ado, then next, follow my guidance and let's start meditating."
Here we go...... Fu Qinghai said secretly in his heart.
According to his past experience, Fu Qinghai sat cross-legged, palms facing up, closed his eyes, and calmed down.
Old man Hu Xian's voice sounded in his ears:
"Very well, you have made the first step, now take fifteen to twenty minutes to patiently control your breathing, relax and close your eyes, and start to search for the energy around you with heart and patience."
……
"The third step, maintain this mindset and posture, and then start imagining the small, light object that you want to move, preferably paper, and focus on your intention to do so, imagining the object moving the way you want it to. Go on, no matter how much time you need, to feel the balance between you and the object. ”
……
"Now, concentrate on your intentions, move the object in front of you with the energy that surrounds you that you can feel right now, remember to focus, maintain proper posture, be patient and relaxed."
……
"Put your dominant hand in front of you, imagine you're holding a spherical object, and take the time to notice the stress points on your palm, which are the most sensitive parts of your palm."
……
Do the same for your whole body, finding those sensitive points of force. Now that you have generated a lot of energy, start converging it onto another object, which causes it to move, shatter, or become hard. ”
……
For a week, except for the necessary hunting time, Fu Qinghai and Hu Xian stayed in the stone room to practice the meditation of the Force.
Fu Qinghai just came up with a creative idea and let the Force rules of the Star Wars universe infect him, not that he directly awakened the Force.
How to cultivate, you still have to cultivate step by step.
As the old man Hu Xian said, Fu Qinghai's qualifications are mediocre and his Force sensitivity is average, so he is definitely not outstanding.
Let Fu Qinghai have a certain psychological preparation for the difficulty of practicing the Force.
But fortunately, Fu Qinghai once had the experience and foundation of meditation, and he entered the state quickly, followed by Fu Qinghai's "feeling" through genetic detection nerves when Hu Xian used the Force, and he could find the trick of perceiving the Force by recalling that "feeling".
It took Fu Qinghai three weeks to finally move a dead leaf three meters away from him by one centimeter.
"Congratulations!" Old man Hu Xian smiled:
"The Force has awakened."
Fu Qinghai smiled bitterly and shook his head.
The scene of the old man Hu Xian's precise control of the Force flying sword to behead the Orcs is still vivid, and with Hu Xian's pearl and jade in front, Fu Qinghai's small progress and breakthrough is not worth it.
Old man Hu Xian was very excited, he was also mentoring a Jedi apprentice for the first time, and any improvement in Fu Qinghai was worth encouraging in his opinion.
Old man Hu Xian said:
"Then let's move on to the next stage of study, close our eyes, and start meditating."
Fu Qinghai closed his eyes as he said, relaxed his sitting posture, and cleared his distracting thoughts.
After three weeks of meditation training, he is already very proficient in this set.
And the old man Hu Xian, who was sitting opposite Fu Qinghai at random, did not look at Fu Qinghai, but stared down at the stone ground in front of him, a black beetle like a heavenly cow that had been crawling slowly.
Old man Hu Xian's eyes were firmly fixed on this beetle, and he said slowly:
"Now, remember everything around you before you closed your eyes, try to sense them with the Force, those living objects, let the breath of every flower, grass, tree and tree pass through your Force."
Seeing that Fu Qinghai seemed to have entered a state of concentration and selfless perception, Hu Xian asked softly:
"Now, tell me, on your left-hand side, in the direction of ten o'clock, what's there?"
The black beetle gently lifted its legs and lowered them slowly, it paused, the two tentacles on top of its head swayed slowly, and it seemed to sense something with its antennae.
Fu Qinghai felt hard for a while, and said:
"It's an open field, there's nothing."
"Ugh."
Old man Hu Xian sighed and rubbed his forehead helplessly.
Hearing the sigh of the old man Hu Xian, Fu Qinghai opened his eyes and looked to the left.
I saw a black beetle crawling slowly on the ground.
"Uh......"
Fu Qinghai knew why Hu Xian sighed.
I didn't use the Force to sense the beetle's presence.
Old man Hu Xian shook his head and said:
"You are too dependent on your superhuman organs, Aoyama, it is undeniable that your senses of sight, hearing, smell, and touch are very sensitive, far beyond ordinary people, but at this moment you have to find a way to abandon them and focus on using the Force to perceive and perceive the surrounding environment, instead of letting your super organs interfere with you."
Fu Qinghai nodded and understood.
Just as Daredevil Mark Murdoch lost his sight, the other four senses strengthened.
When you rely too much on one sense, such as vision, the other senses will unconsciously weaken.
Daredevil once had his eyes repaired by the Desperate Virus, but then he lost his powerful perception of his surroundings, so at the end of the story, he gave up the chance to regain his vision and turned back into a blind lawyer.
At this moment, Fu Qinghai could only try to shield his five senses as much as possible.
He can't just poke his eyes blind, pierce his eardrums, and cut off his nose just to learn Force Sense.
Daredevil's blindness was a blessing in disguise, but it wasn't voluntary.
……
The morning mist was still faintly dissipated, and the sunlight was still behind the forest leaves, and on an empty and flat mountain meadow, Fu Qinghai and Old Man Hu Xian stood face to face.
Hu Xiandao:
"Communicating with the Force through meditation is a long-term thing that depends on your own continuous practice, and the rest of the meditation is up to you. Now, let's jump right into the learning of lightsaber swordsmanship. ”
Old man Hu Xian asked:
"Have you ever used a sword-like weapon before?"
Fu Qinghai nodded: "I have a certain foundation in cold weapon fighting. ”
Fu Qinghai dared to say this, he has a certain strength and confidence, as mentioned earlier, interstellar marines generally do not practice hand-to-hand combat, because there are not many scenarios that are applied in actual combat.
However, cold weapon fighting is the most common practice and competition of the Astarte Legion.
All kinds of chainsaw weapons and power-up weapons require the support of melee combat skills.
Different legions also have different styles and cultures of cold weapon fighting.
The death cage duel culture of the Fist of the Empire, the son of the emperor revels in the beauty of swordsmanship.
Qiaogris people like to use knives, Fu Qinghai's knife skills are inherited from white scars, the style is simple, practical and fast, the record is that he has beaten all the short sword number invincible, and the extreme warriors love to use swords, in the process of practicing with Papa's extreme warrior trio, I also have a lot of understanding of the extreme warrior's Macurag sword fighting skills.
Old man Hu Xian smiled:
"I can hear that you're confident in your sword skills. But I have to warn you that lightsabers are unlike any other sword you've used before, the blades of lightsabers are almost weightless, and there is almost no air resistance when swung in the air. ”
"The advantage is that it's faster and more agile than any melee weapon you've used before."
"The downside is that you can't use the weight of the lightsaber itself to kill enemies."
Old man Hu Xian is right, the essence of the lightsaber blade is a plasma beam that is wrapped and controlled by a magnetic binding force field + magnetic fluid recovery system, and the plasma has no weight and air resistance.
The lighter the weight of the weapon, the more flexible and easy it is to control, but the lighter the weight of the weapon, the better, because many times, momentum itself is a weapon, there is a way that the heavy sword has no edge, and indeed there is a heavy sword that is not bladed, and its killing principle is similar to that of blunt weapons such as sticks and hammers.
The downside of the lightsaber is that it only has a slashing effect and does not deal any momentum damage.
Old man Hu Xian said: "I only have a lightsaber here, this is a lightsaber I made with my own hands, you can't control it, so now let's use a wooden stick to simulate lightsaber practice and learn swordsmanship." ”
"If you find a branch that is relatively light, and you don't think it has much resistance or weight to wield, think of it as a lightsaber."
When Fu Qinghai heard this, he leaned over and picked up a wooden stick casually, and said:
"Then let's get started, Uncle Hu Xian."
Old man Hu Xian looked at the wooden stick in Fu Qinghai's hand and said:
"I mean, you've got to find one with as little weight and air resistance as possible."
Fu Qinghai nodded: "This wooden stick is equivalent to no weight for me." ”
Old man Hu Xian choked.
Okay, good, I know you have a lot of strength.
