Chapter 94: Discussing the Doctrine
Analyzing the Creed
The dark jungle was silent, the bonfire continued to crackle, and from time to time small flies would fly into the flames.
Fu Qinghai and old man Hu Xian looked at each other in silence.
After a while, old man Hu Xian sighed and said,
"The Force did not choose you, but you insisted on turning the Force's head around. You are too opinionated. Darth Vader is nothing. You are the chosen one."
Fu Qinghai rubbed his hands and said with a smile:
"Thank you for the compliment. By the way, sir, how is my Force talent? Is my midi-chlorian too much or too little?"
Old man Hu Xian squinted his eyes and felt it for a while,
then said, "Generally speaking, your midi-chlorian count is neither too much nor too little, which is enough to become a Jedi Knight, but if you want to become a Jedi Master, it is almost impossible... Well, that's a bit absolute. It should be said that it is difficult for you to become a Jedi Master."
After that, the old man added,
"What I can sense is just a vague feeling. To determine the exact amount of midi-chlorians in your cells, you have to go to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant for testing."
Fu Qinghai nodded.
It doesn't matter, Fu Qinghai can accept this result.
Not everyone is Anakin Skywalker. Fu Qinghai's qualifications allow him to practice the path of the Jedi, which has already surpassed many people who have no talent for the Force at all. He is already very satisfied.
Unlike many oriental martial arts, cultivation and fantasy works, in the traditional Confucian cultural circles of China, Japan and South Korea, the quality of "diligence" is emphasized and respected. It is believed that diligence can make up for one's shortcomings and man can conquer nature.
However, looking at European and American literary works and epic legends, we will find that compared with diligence, Europe and the United States adhere to a kind of talent determinism. Strong people are born strong and are destined to be strong.
From Shakespeare to various space operas, the theory of the chosen one and the theory of the savior have emerged one after another and have remained popular.
If you don't have a natural talent for the Force, then no matter how hard you try, you won't be able to become a powerful Jedi Master.
But Fu Qinghai was not discouraged, as he had other ambitions.
As long as he reaches the threshold of a Jedi Knight, Fu Qinghai will be qualified to use a very powerful weapon, so powerful that it can be called a BUG -
Lightsaber.
In the Star Wars setting, a lightsaber can cut through all materials except Mandalorian alloy (Beskar metal).
Yes, everything!
But there is a very important prerequisite for this lightsaber to cut through all matter:
this lightsaber must be in the hands of a Jedi or Sith Knight.
Ordinary people can also use lightsabers. Anyone who presses the start button of the lightsaber will produce a condensed plasma column blade. Even robots can use lightsabers.
However, a lightsaber used in this way is at most a very hot plasma melee weapon and does not have the ability to cut through anything.
In order to have the ability to cut through all substances, the lightsaber must be held in the hands of a Jedi or Sith Knight, and the lightsaber, or the Kyber crystal in the lightsaber, must be used as a force amplifier.
It is the Force that gives the lightsaber the ability to cut through all matter, not the plasma generator or magnetic confinement field.
Fu Qinghai looked at old man Hu Xian with sharp eyes and said,
"Then shall we start learning Force training tomorrow?"
He was getting a little impatient.
Old man Hu Xian smiled helplessly and said:
"Okay, I'll start teaching you how to meditate tomorrow."
As he was speaking, a slight cracking sound was heard deep in the jungle, as if a branch was being stepped on.
This barely perceptible sound was instantly caught by the ears of Fu Qinghai and Hu Xian at the same time.
Fu Qinghai's face changed and he immediately turned over and stood up.
Unexpectedly, Hu Xian moved even faster. The old man Hu Xian, who was sitting cross-legged on the grass, did not move at all. He just swung his right hand hidden under his tattered robe out suddenly.
A silver metal cylinder was thrown out instantly. In mid-air, a light green condensed light column suddenly extended from the mouth of the silver hilt. The green lightsaber spun rapidly in mid-air and flew into the pitch-black jungle. A burst of blood splashed up, and then it flew back, spinning.
The lightsaber was put away and the silver hilt fell back into the hands of old man Hu Xian.
The old man looked calm. He slowly put the lightsaber back into his tattered robe and gently covered it.
From beginning to end, during the entire process, old man Hu Xian remained sitting cross-legged on the grass, his head never tilted to one side, and even his shoulders didn't move.
Holy shit…
This time it was Fu Qinghai's turn to gasp.
At this moment, the way Fu Qinghai looked at old man Hu Xian was the same as the way Ron Benzim looked at Fu Qinghai.
It's so cool!
Swing the lightsaber out, use the Force to activate the blade, and then use the Force to control the lightsaber to spin and fly, cutting through objects along the way, and then fly back.
Fu Qinghai had only seen this move in Star Wars games, and had never seen anyone use it in Star Wars movies.
Fu Qinghai stood up and walked into the dark jungle. He pushed aside the broad leaves and dense branches and saw a three-meter-tall green-skinned monster lying on the ground.
The head of this Ork has been separated from his body, and the head with ferocious fangs has rolled to the side. The blood-red fracture on its thick neck is smooth and neat, and the flesh and blood have been sealed by the high temperature.
Tsk tsk tsk...how neat and quick.
Fu Qinghai sighed in his heart, turned around and walked back to the campfire, sat down cross-legged, looked at old man Hu Xian who seemed to have done something insignificant, and asked curiously:
"Master, what is the reincarnation level that the Lord God has rated you at?"
Old man Hu Xian said: "Level 7."
Wow, now Fu Qinghai knows where the gap between himself and Hu Xian lies.
At least in the eyes of the world of reincarnation, there is a difference of five levels.
Of course, this level does not necessarily represent actual combat effectiveness. For example, in the Warhammer 40K universe, if Fu Qinghai returned to the Space Marine fleet, he could immediately arm himself with power armor, plasma pistol, melta cannon, power sword, etc.
But these are not items and abilities that have been assimilated.
Fu Qinghai guessed that this part would not be included in the reincarnation level assessment.
The Force can strengthen the body of a Jedi Knight, but Fu Qinghai feels that no matter how strengthened, an ordinary ear can never compare to his own Leman Ear. Just now, old man Hu Xian accurately beheaded the orc without even taking a look at it, which shows that he did not rely on vision and hearing to determine the enemy's position.
Instead, it relies on the insight and perception of the surrounding environment given by the Force.
…
The next morning, the two men arrived at the top of a mountain early.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
In fact, one can learn meditation anywhere, even in the stone chamber in the ruins, but Fu Qinghai, who was used to practicing martial arts on the top of the mountain, decided to come here.
Blowing in the cold mountain wind, overlooking the vast sea of forests and the rolling waves.
It feels more like spiritual practice.
On top of the boulder, the two men sat cross-legged facing each other.
Old man Hu Xian spoke calmly and slowly,
"First, I want to explain to you the Jedi Creed. Do you know the Jedi Creed?"
"I know." Fu Qinghai blurted out:
"No need for passion, calm the mind.
(Khorne frowns)
Do not follow ignorance, seek true knowledge.
(Jianqi is ecstatic)
Do not indulge in lust, be calm and clear-minded.
(Looks unhappy)
Despite the chaos, peace still exists.
(Four vendors: ...)
Nothing withers, only the force works.
(Nurgle is puzzled)"
The above five points are the Jedi Creed of the Jedi Order. As an old Star Wars fan, Fu Qinghai has already memorized them by heart.
"Very good." Old man Hu Xian nodded, "Then do you know what these five Jedi tenets represent?"
Although Fu Qinghai had some of his own ideas (in brackets), he still bowed his head modestly and said:
"Master Hu Xian, please help me solve this puzzle!"
Old man Hu Xian said:
"No need for passion, calm mind. This creed requires us, in meditation and interpersonal communication, Jedi should abandon all emotional actions, and observe and think about other people's behavior and its meaning through a neutral perspective without any distractions in the unified force. What do you think about this?"
"Absolutely rational people." Fu Qinghai said: "The Jedi Creed requires us to move closer to the absolute rationality in philosophy described by Hegel, but I think we cannot achieve absolute rationality, absolute neutrality and objectivity. This is against human nature."
Old man Hu Xian nodded and said, "I think so too. I also think this has nothing to do with whether you can become a powerful force user. Otherwise, Anakin Skywalker would not have fallen into the dark side of the force and become Darth Vader."
Anakin Skywalker, and his apprentice Ahsoka Tano, were both known for their emotional rage, but they were both very strong.
"But," said old man Hu Xian, changing the subject, "acting in accordance with this rule can indeed help us to understand the principles and essence of things more clearly, which is indeed of great benefit."
Fu Qinghai nodded in approval.
"Second, do not follow ignorance, seek true knowledge. Ignorant people are most likely to be afraid, and fear is the path to darkness. The Jedi Archives in the Jedi Temple is managed by the Jedi Order's Knowledge Supremacy Committee. It contains the most complete knowledge reserves in the entire galaxy, enough for you to study for a lifetime. Unfortunately, you have no chance to see it now."
Old man Hu Xian continued his narration.
In this way, the entire morning was spent with the two of them sitting and discussing.

Thanks to DK Qin Ge, book friend 2021***9169, Roggeotarifus, Giant Sword Soldier, and book friend 2017***7736 for their rewards.
There were too many unexpected things happening today, picking people up at the airport, drinking and socializing, and I was busy until 10 o'clock before I started to think about the plot update.
Sorry everyone.
In the original Star Wars, the lightsaber is indeed more powerful in the hands of a Jedi or Sith Knight, but there is no specific setting that it must be wielded by a Force user to cut everything. This is a patch I set myself. Otherwise, it would be too inappropriate for anyone to hold a lightsaber and cut through adamantium, vibranium, ceramist, and plastic steel.
