"It is an energy field created by all living things, surrounding and permeating us. It has the energy to condense the entire galaxy."
——Obi-Wan Kenobi
"During the training process of the Jedi Temple, Jedi apprentices need to form various training groups according to their personality preferences to live together."
In the stone room covered with brown vines and green moss, old man Hu Xian asked with a smile:
"Then do you like the brave little bear group, the persistent little dragon group, the stealthy Katarn group, or the pious and intuitive Bogu method group?"
Fu Qinghai rolled his eyes:
"Only Jedi kids make choices, I want them all as adults."
Old man Hu Xian put away his smiling face and said:
"Okay, I'm not kidding you. I also joined the Jedi Order directly as an adult, so I haven't joined any of these messy apprentice training groups. Let's start directly with the steps of meditation."
"Have you ever meditated before?"
Fu Qinghai said: "Yes."
The Space Marines rely on meditation to activate the Sassian meninges, and the White Scars have always had a tradition of meditation. This tradition was requested by Chagatai Khan due to genetic reasons. Ogodei explained to Fu Qinghai that it means reflecting on oneself and the battle. The gains and losses, but this reason is not to the extent that it needs to be mandatory. 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 like a child's skill that they have practiced since childhood. But for adults who have not received training in this area, it is very difficult to enter a meditative state. Many people Once you close your eyes, all kinds of thoughts will come to your mind uncontrollably, and your mind will start to wander and make you think without distractions."
As the master of his own body, how many organs can a person control? Very rarely, not only cannot the heartbeat be controlled, gastrointestinal motility cannot be controlled, body fluid circulation cannot be controlled, and even the brain cannot be controlled.
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 completely and completely control his own thinking and be undistracted.
"Before we enter meditation, let me test your knowledge of the Force. Qingshan, what do you think the Force is?"
This question stopped Fu Qinghai.
In his previous life, he read a lot of fantasy and cultivation-related online articles.
The protagonists start practicing as soon as they get the secrets of the exercises. Once they start practicing, they either rely on their natural talents or hard work.
No one has ever thought about what they are practicing, the "spiritual energy" between heaven and earth, the energy in the body, this "qi", what exactly is it?
What is the Force?
In Jiang Wen’s words, the Force is “fucking good.”
Fu Qinghai's thoughts changed and he suddenly said:
"The Force isn't anything, it's George Lucas' creation."
Star Wars is just a European and American science fiction novel, why bother to get to the bottom of it.
Old man Hu Xian laughed and said:
"You seem to have seen the essence of the problem through the surface, but in fact you are just being clever. There is no answer to this question. Maybe Industrial Light and Magic doesn't know what the Force is."
"The Jedi Order has been studying the Force for centuries. Their understanding and views of the Force are not static, and they are constantly innovating. From the earliest duality of the light force and the dark force, Force theory, the more popular unified force theory and life force theory, are all trying to explain the nature of the force."
The representative figure of the life force theory is Anakin Skywalker's master, Obi-Wan Kenobi.
"All these Force theories have their own flaws and unexplainable aspects. Perhaps in the future, you can also propose your own Force theory, the unified theory of the Force, to explain everything in the Star Wars universe. Force phenomena.”
"Without further ado, let's follow my guidance and let's start meditating."
It's begun... Fu Qinghai thought to himself.
According to past experience, Fu Qinghai sat cross-legged, palms up, closed his eyes, and calmed his mind.
Old man Hu Xian's voice sounded in my ears:
"Good, you have done the first step. Now, spend fifteen to twenty minutes patiently controlling your breathing, relax and close your eyes, and start to look for the energy around you with your heart and patience."
…
“Step three, maintain this mindset and posture, then start visualizing the small, light object you want to move, preferably paper, and focus on your intention to do so, visualizing the object moving the way you want it to move. Continue, however long it takes, to feel the balance between you and the object.”
…
"Now, focus intently on your intention to move the object in front of you with the energy you can feel around you now, remembering to focus, maintain proper posture, remain patient and relaxed."
…
"Put your dominant hand in front of you and imagine you are holding a spherical object. Take the time to pay attention to the stress points on your palm. They are the most sensitive parts of your palm."
…
"Do the same with your entire body, finding those sensitive stress points. Now that you've generated a lot of energy, start focusing it on another object, which can cause it to move, shatter, or become hard. "
…
For a week, except for necessary hunting time, Fu Qinghai and Hu Xian stayed in the stone room and practiced meditation on the Force.
Fu Qinghai just came up with a creative idea and let the Force rules of the Star Wars universe infect himself. It does not mean that he directly awakened to the Force.
How to practice, you still have to practice step by step.
As old man Hu Xian said, Fu Qinghai's qualifications were average, his sensitivity to the Force was average, and he was definitely not outstanding.
This allowed Fu Qinghai to be mentally prepared for the difficulties of practicing the Force.
But the good thing is that Fu Qinghai once had the experience and foundation of meditation, and entered the state quickly. Secondly, Fu Qinghai once "feeled" Hu Xian's feeling when he used the force through gene detection nerves. He could recall that feeling by "Feel" to find the trick to sensing the Force.
Fu Qinghai spent three weeks and finally moved a dead leaf three meters away from him by one centimeter.
"Congratulations!" Old Man Hu Xian said with a smile:
"The Force Awakens."
Fu Qinghai smiled bitterly and shook his head.
The scene of old man Hu Xian accurately controlling the force flying sword to behead the Orcs is still vivid in his mind. With Hu Xian's gems in front of him, Fu Qinghai's small progress and breakthrough seemed not worth mentioning.
Old man Hu Xian was very excited. It was also his first time to mentor a Jedi apprentice. In his opinion, any progress made by Fu Qinghai was worthy of encouragement.
Old man Hu Xian said:
"Then let's start the next stage of learning. Close your eyes and start meditating."
Fu Qinghai closed his eyes as instructed, relaxed his posture, and cleared his mind of distracting thoughts.
After three weeks of meditation training, he has become very proficient in this method.
Old man Hu Xian, who was casually sitting cross-legged across from Fu Qinghai, did not look at Fu Qinghai, but stared down at the stone ground in front of him, where a black beetle like a longhorned beetle was slowly crawling.
Old man Hu Xian stared at the beetle and said slowly:
"Now, recall everything around you before you closed your eyes, and try to use the Force to perceive them, those living objects, and 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 selflessness, Hu Xian asked softly:
"Now, tell me, what's on your left, at ten o'clock?"
The black beetle gently raised its legs and slowly lowered them. It paused and the two tentacles on its head swayed slowly. It seemed to be sensing something with its own tentacles.
Fu Qinghai felt it for a while and said:
"It's an empty lot with nothing."
"well."
Old man Hu Xian sighed and rubbed his forehead helplessly.
Hearing the sigh of old man Hu Xian, Fu Qinghai opened his eyes and looked to the left.
I saw a black beetle crawling slowly on the ground.
"Well……"
Fu Qinghai knew why Hu Xian sighed.
He failed to sense the existence of this beetle using the Force.
Old man Hu Xian shook his head and said:
"You are too dependent on your superhuman organs, Qingshan. It is undeniable that your vision, hearing, smell, and touch are all 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 gain insight. environment, rather than letting your super organs interfere with you."
Fu Qinghai nodded and understood.
Just like after Daredevil Mark Murdock became blind, his other four senses were enhanced.
When you rely too much on one sense, such as vision, other senses will be weakened unconsciously.
Daredevil's eyes were once repaired by the Extremis virus, but then he lost his strong ability to perceive the surrounding environment, so at the end of the story he gave up the chance to regain his vision and became a blind lawyer again.
At this moment, Fu Qinghai could only try to block his five senses.
He couldn't blind his eyes, pierce his eardrums, or cut off his nose in order to learn how to sense the Force.
Although Daredevil's blindness is a blessing in disguise, he didn't do it willingly.
…
The morning fog still lingers, and the sun is still hidden behind the forest leaves. On an empty and flat mountain meadow, Fu Qinghai and old man Hu Xian stand face to face.
Hu Xian said:
"Communicating with the Force through meditation is a long-lasting and long-lasting matter. It depends on your own continuous practice. The subsequent meditation depends on you. Now, let's directly start learning the lightsaber sword technique."
Old man Hu Xian asked:
"Have you ever used sword-type weapons before?"
Fu Qinghai nodded: "I have a certain foundation in cold weapon combat."
Fu Qinghai dared to say this because he had a certain degree of strength and confidence. As mentioned before, space warriors generally do not practice unarmed combat because there are not many application scenarios in actual combat.
But cold weapon combat is the most common practice and competition event among various Astartes legions.
Various chainsaw weapons and power weapons require melee combat skills.
Different legions also have different cold weapon fighting styles and cultures.
The Imperial Fists' death cage dueling culture, the Emperor's Children are intoxicated by the beauty of swordsmanship.
Chogris like to use swords. Fu Qinghai's sword skills are inherited from White Scar. His style is simple, practical and fast. His record is that he has been invincible in all the daggers. The Ultramarines love to use swords. After three battles with Papa's Ultramarines, During the team's practice, they also learned a lot about the Macragge sword fighting skills of the Ultramarines.
Old man Hu Xian smiled and said:
"I can tell that you are very confident in your sword skills. But I have to remind you that the lightsaber is different from any sword you have used before. The blade of the lightsaber is almost weightless. There’s also almost no air resistance when swung through the air.”
"The advantage is that it's faster and more flexible than any melee weapon you've ever used."
"The disadvantage is that you cannot use the weight of the lightsaber itself to kill the enemy."
Old man Hu Xian is right. The essence of the lightsaber blade is a plasma beam wrapped and controlled by a magnetic constraint field + magnetic fluid recovery system. Plasma has no weight and air resistance.
The lighter the weight of the weapon, the more flexible and easier it is to control. However, the lighter the weight of the weapon, the better, because in many cases, momentum itself is a weapon. If you have a heavy sword, it has no edge. Indeed, there is an heavy sword that cannot be opened. Bladed, its killing principle is similar to blunt weapons such as sticks and hammers.
The disadvantage of the lightsaber is that it only has the function of cutting without any momentum damage.
Old man Hu Xian said: "I only have one lightsaber here. This is the lightsaber I made myself. You can't control it, so now we use wooden sticks to simulate lightsaber exercises and learn swordsmanship."
"Find a lighter branch that you feel doesn't have much resistance or weight when you swing it, and use it as a lightsaber."
When Fu Qinghai heard this, he leaned over and picked up a wooden stick 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 have to find one with as little weight and as little air resistance as possible."
Fu Qinghai nodded: "To me, this wooden stick is weightless."
Old man Hu Xian choked.
Okay, okay, I know you are strong.
