Chapter 96 Seven Jedi Styles

An old man and a young man were lying on a bare stone, with a pine tree with dense needles above their heads.

"The greenskins seem a little restless today. The orc you killed that night may still have some status in the tribe."

Fu Qinghai said while observing.

In the distance, in the orc tribe across the river, the little green men were particularly restless today, with more fights and brawls than ever before. Of course, it was not that these greenskins wanted to avenge the dead orc. Fu Qinghai guessed that the death of the three-meter-tall orc had caused a power vacuum in the tribe, and the greenskins might be trying to decide a new orc boss.

The strength of an orc is positively correlated with its size. A three-meter-tall Ork orc can be called an orc warrior in the tribe. Orcs of this level have the strength to compete with Space Marines in a duel. Their strong muscles look more solid than fully armed Space Marines.

Old man Hu Xian said:

"Why don't we just wipe this orc tribe directly..."

Old man Hu Xian made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Hu Xian and Fu Qinghai were usually very kind and cheerful when they got along, but all the old reincarnations who could get to this level were cruel and decisive.

Fu Qinghai narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, and said:

"It's not impossible. With your and my strength, it's not difficult to completely wipe out this orc tribe from the map. The difficulty is that we can't let even a fart spirit run away. We don't know if there are bigger orc tribes in other parts of this planet. It won't be worthwhile to expose ourselves at that time. Let them stay before they find us."

Fu Qinghai was so arrogant that he said, "With your and my strength, it's not difficult to wipe out the orc tribe."

In fact, the main fighting force among the two is old man Hu Xian. Fu Qinghai is a naked space warrior with a steel sword in his hand, and nothing else.

Of course, there is another problem to consider. Warfare depends on equipment. If an orc general can fight a space marine in a one-on-one duel, he must be an orc general of normal technology: wearing thick patchwork armor, iron chin and hard skull, holding various orc muskets or chain saws.

The orc who died in the jungle that day was indeed huge, but he had nothing but a set of squigg leather armor and a machete polished from black stone. He was so poor that he was as fragile as a piece of paper in front of Hu Xian's lightsaber. A normal space marine can beat ten orc generals with this kind of equipment.

In short, don't laugh at the second brother. Fu Qinghai, as a bare-board space marine, does not approve of rushing into the orc tribe with old man Hu Xian to kill.

Old man Hu Xian nodded. Among the two people, Fu Qinghai is an expert in Warhammer 40K, and old man Hu Xian always listens to his advice.

Old man Hu Xian said: "Then let's go a little further this time and find a remote place to practice lightsaber swordsmanship."

...

On a flat and vast alpine meadow, the sun was shining brightly, and the breeze blew the small yellow flowers swaying in the grass.

Old man Hu Xian raised a branch and introduced:

"First, I want to introduce the first style of lightsaber swordsmanship, called the Hijo style, the basic style or the Sarlacc style, which teaches the most basic attack and dodge movements and is the basis for learning subsequent swordsmanship. The first style evolved from ancient sword fighting. It is very simple. How simple is it?"

"There is an original saying in the Jedi textbook: It doesn't matter whether your body is spherical, segmented or serpentine - as long as you can use a lightsaber, you can master the first style."

Look, this is tolerance, this is a grand worldview, and all kinds of alien Jedi warriors have been taken into consideration before the design. Fu Qinghai thought to himself.

Old man Hu Xian looked calm and said lightly:

"However, before teaching you the first style, I have to convey to you the philosophy of the Jedi Knights-"

"Aggression is not the way of the Jedi. The zeroth style is more basic than the first style-that is, to find a non-violent solution to any problem you encounter. To borrow a famous saying from Judge Taisang: The best sword is hidden in the sheath."

Fu Qinghai looked serious and nodded gently.

Compared to studying exquisite swordsmanship, the Jedi Knights care more about the inheritance of spirit, which is why Hu Xian wants to join the Jedi Knights to find a way to restrain the fluctuation of killing intent.

The Warhammer 40K universe is dark and cruel. The Space Marines regard killing as their duty and mission. The Jedi Knights' idea of ​​non-aggression and universal love, which is similar to the Mohist non-aggression and universal love, is not very popular in the Warhammer 40K universe, but Fu Qinghai feels that this concept can be accepted to a certain extent.

Prevent yourself from falling into endless killing and becoming a lackey disciple of Khorne.

The first move was too simple for Fu Qinghai, who already had a basic knowledge of cold weapon fighting, and he mastered it quickly. Fu Qinghai only needed to deliberately control himself and adapt to this sword method that almost ignored inertia when swinging and did not rely on momentum to kill the enemy.

Hu Xian said:

"Let me introduce you to the six advanced lightsaber sword methods, and you can choose one that suits you."

"The second move is called the Makashi style, also known as the argument style or the Way of the Isalamil Lizard. It is the most elegant of the six traditional sword methods, emphasizing precise strikes and elegant steps. It is the preferred sword style in lightsaber duels."

After listening to old man Hu Xian's description of the second style: the user keeps forward and backward in a straight line, avoids unnecessary rollovers, steps and jumps, and uses concise and precise attacks to damage the opponent's sword-holding wrist or other vital points.

Fu Qinghai said: "You can learn the second form, but I guess I can master it soon."

The representative figure of the second style is the Sith warrior Count Dooku. Count Dooku believes that the fourth style of swordsmanship, which jumps and rolls around, is a fighting method used only by ordinary people. It is very dishonorable and a quick victory is the best. Fight the right way.

Everyone knows the result: Count Dooku was defeated by Master Yoda who used the fourth sword technique.

Regarding Fu Qinghai's confident opinion, old man Hu Xian was noncommittal and continued:

"The third style, Sureso Style, also called the Rebound Style or the Way of Mynock, is the ultimate defensive swordsmanship. Practicing this swordsmanship has high requirements on Force perception. You need to master meditation while moving. skills, and make all movements close to the body, reducing sweeping or direct dashes, and swing the lightsaber into a cocoon, which is called a 'ring of protection'. It is said that people who perfectly master this technique can withstand all forms of attacks. "

"Of course, the third style also has flaws, that is, if you focus too much on defense, you will lose the ability to counterattack, but you can consume your opponent's physical strength through minimalist defense, tire your opponent, and finally wait for an opportunity to defeat him."

Fu Qinghai frowned.

It's not because the third form does not conform to Fu Qinghai's fighting philosophy. Even if Fu Qinghai is a person who believes that the best defense is offense, he must learn the third form of swordsmanship.

Because only by learning the third sword technique can one use a lightsaber to resist or even counterattack the energy beam of a blaster.

Fu Qinghai frowned because the old man Hu Xian said a prerequisite for learning. The third sword technique requires Jedi masters to master the skills of mobile meditation, and the requirements for Force perception are very high.

Fu Qinghai's current level is that he cannot detect an insect so close to him using the Force.

Many people who have watched the movie have a misunderstanding, thinking that the blaster energy beam does not move very fast and can be captured by the naked eye.

That's just the way the movie is expressed, to show the audience clearly.

Although Fu Qinghai has never been to the Star Wars universe, he knows that in fact, in the original setting, the speed of the energy beam fired by the blaster is close to the speed of light.

Some people are curious. The speed is close to the speed of light, which is faster than the speed of bullets. How did the Jedi use their lightsabers to block the energy beam of the blaster?

No matter how fast the neural reaction speed of living things is, it cannot be faster than the speed of light.

In fact, this is the same as dodging bullets. It is not about being faster than the bullets, but about dodging the moment when the trigger is pulled. The Jedi use their powerful Force insight and Force perception to predict the direction of the blaster in an almost prophetic manner. and trajectory, and then waved the lightsaber to resist in advance.

This is the effect of the Force + lightsaber, and an ordinary Imperial soldier cannot block a blaster attack even if he holds three lightsabers.

Of course, the accuracy of blasters is also very poor.

The representative figure of the third style is Obi-Wan Kenobi. He once faced the siege of General Grievous's four lightsabers without falling behind. The best result in his career was when he was bombarded by a space battleship-caliber laser cannon. survived.

Fu Qinghai secretly thought that he had to speed up his meditation practice and said:

"Master Hu Xian, please continue."

Old man Hu Xian was quite dissatisfied with the slight worry on Fu Qinghai's face - you don't even have a lightsaber now, why are you thinking about this?

Old man Hu Xian continued:

"The fourth form, the Ataru form, is also called the offensive form and the way of the eagle bat. It requires the user to maintain a continuous attack. There are many moves, such as 'falling leaves', 'eagle bat flying', 'sword net cluster', etc." "Etc., the requirements for endurance and speed are very high, and ordinary Jedi apprentices who have not been strengthened by the Force cannot display the acrobatic style of the fourth form."

The first benefit of practicing the Force is to strengthen your body and prolong your life. However, the requirements for physical strength and agility of the fourth style of swordsmanship are not just ordinary physical fitness. It is so different from ordinary people that it is almost an afterimage in the eyes of ordinary people. Fu Qinghai doesn't have to worry about that. Although his talent in the Force is average, he is a space warrior and is inherently much stronger than a mortal.

In terms of physical strength, if Captain America is "I can fight like this for a whole day", then Fu Qinghai is "I can fight like this for a month."

"The fourth pose has the highest requirements on footwork. Unlike other poses that require a solid and stable lower body, the prerequisite for the fourth pose is to master the 'Suma' footwork, which requires the user to be able to attack while still being three-dimensional. Tossing and turning in space, spinning, somersaulting, cartwheeling, etc.”

Xuansuma is a rapid spin, Tengsuma is a somersault, and Ansuma is a side roll.

The representative figure of the fourth style is Master Yoda. In the prequel trilogy of movies, you can see that the little green man Master Yoda moves left and right and flies up and down when fighting.

Old man Hu Xian chuckled and said:

"What I'm best at is the fourth form."

Fu Qinghai nodded. Nonsense, you are a martial artist from the Street Fighter universe, so body and movement skills are nothing to you.

Old man Hu Xian did not stop and continued:

"The fifth form, Sheen/Jemso style, Perseverance style, the way of the Krayt dragon, Jemuso requires the user to be very muscular and have an overwhelming advantage in strength. This is very suitable for you."

Hu Xian changed the subject.

"But another point is that Sheen requires the user to 'turn the sword into a shield', not only to use the lightsaber to resist the blaster's attack, but also to use the lightsaber to refract the blaster's energy beam back to the original path and counterattack the enemy who fired the gun. This is a more advanced requirement than the third style."

"In the lightsaber duel, Jemsuo requires a heavy blow like a mountain, and Sheen requires that every block must deflect the opponent's attack and then immediately counterattack."

The representative of the fifth style is the male protagonist of Star Wars, Anakin Skywalker.

Fu Qinghai certainly wants to learn the male protagonist's sword style, but the prerequisite is that he must first master the third style of mobile meditation.

"As for the sixth style, Niemann style, also known as the diplomat style, I personally don't know much, so I won't introduce it to you here."

"As for the seventh style, Juyo/Wapade style, when I became a Jedi Knight, it was strictly restricted by the Jedi Supreme Council and prohibited from learning and teaching. I also had no chance to see the charm of this sword style."

Fu Qinghai thought: According to the logic of Naruto, those that are generally listed as forbidden techniques, no matter what side effects they have, must be the strongest ones.

Old man Hu Xian said in a deep voice:

"Now, tell me your choice."

Fu Qinghai said with a smile:

"Again, only Jedi apprentices make choices, I want all adults."

Old man Hu Xian couldn't help but sneered and said:

"You know that your current level of force is that of a Jedi apprentice, and you can't meet the requirements of a Jedi Knight at all."

"Besides, I don't need to say that you understand the principle of biting off more than you can chew."

This sentence is considered an improvement for the shameless Fu Qinghai. After all, Jedi apprentices are one level higher than Jedi young apprentices, right?

Compared with three or four-year-old children, you are really good, Fu Qinghai.

Fu Qinghai looked at old man Hu Xian seriously and said:

"Master, Space Marines have almost infinite lifespans. Don't say you only teach me five lightsaber swordsmanship. Even if you teach me fifty lightsaber swordsmanship, I still have plenty of time to slowly explore and learn."

Hearing this, old man Hu Xian stroked his beard and nodded. Fu Qinghai's words made sense. He and Albus Lang came to the same conclusion. This guy is a resultist and will never be bound by the school of moves and restrict himself. Even if he doesn't teach, he will definitely explore and learn other sword styles.

...

Compared to the difficulty of practicing the Force, Fu Qinghai made rapid progress in practicing lightsaber swordsmanship. With his own foundation, the five sword styles Fu Qinghai performed gradually became easy and decent.

One night again, Fu Qinghai and old man Hu Xian sat side by side on the branches of a huge tree.

Looking at the erratic and beautiful aurora in the night sky in the distance.

Appreciating the aurora that appears from time to time has become a regular leisure and relaxation activity for the two.

Watching it, Fu Qinghai couldn't help asking:

"It stands to reason that auroras are colorful, why are the auroras on this planet only green?"

Old man Hu Xian shrugged and said:

"I also want to ask why auroras can also appear in low-latitude areas."

Fu Qinghai shook his head and laughed, alien planets, alien planets, anyway, they are different from the earth.

While silently looking at the soft light ribbon in the night sky and breathing the cool and refreshing air in the mountains, old man Hu Xian suddenly spoke:

"Qingshan, do you know why I decided to teach you the assassination fist fighting style and the way of the force?"

Fu Qinghai was stunned, not understanding why old man Hu Xian suddenly brought up this topic.

Fu Qinghai recalled and asked tentatively:

"Because you said that I looked exactly like you when I was a bachelor when I became your apprentice?"

The old man shook his head and said:

"I actually agreed to it in my heart at that time."

"To tell you the truth, it was when I rescued you and the musician in Mirror Lake."

"Hall Camp? What's the relationship with him?"

Fu Qinghai asked puzzledly.

The old man Hu Xian's old and turbid eyes reflected the gorgeous aurora in the night sky. He sighed slowly:

"Because I am also the kind of fool who will make friends with the characters in the plot. Even if he is an ordinary passerby, an NPC with no use value, and can't affect the development of the plot line at all, I may be friends with him."

So, it was because Hall Camp regarded me as a friend... Fu Qinghai didn't answer, but thought silently in his heart.

Fu Qinghai was like this when he played the plot game in his previous life. Even after entering the reincarnation world, he didn't hone himself into a so-called "decisive and decisive" person who was actually "sophisticated and selfish".

Although it is not known which part of Hu Xian's long reincarnation life the existence of Hall Camp evokes, in short, it is probably Fu Qinghai's attitude towards the characters in the plot that makes the old man feel the same.

For many Westerners, a teacher is a teacher and a father is a father. Before the introduction of Kung Fu martial arts movies into the European and American markets, Westerners could not understand the Chinese concept of "master".

Hu Xian never asked Fu Qinghai to worship him as a teacher, and as a modern man, Fu Qinghai felt uncomfortable asking him to be a teacher for a day and a father for life like the ancients. Fu Qinghai felt that he and Hu Xian were friends regardless of age, two bastards who were equally unreliable but had the same values.

…

The aurora in the night sky slowly dissipated, and the two jumped off the giant tree and returned to the stone ruins hidden among the climbing plants and shrubs.

Fu Qinghai returned to the small stone room where he lived. As usual, he sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and began to meditate with his palms facing up.

He has gradually replaced sleep with meditation.

It was pitch black in front of him, because there was no light in the stone room, and because Fu Qinghai closed his eyes.

Fu Qinghai slowly mobilized his original force, turning into the long tentacles of a longhorn beetle, carefully probing everything around him.

This was an exercise he had to do every day.

Suddenly, in a moment, and as naturally as if it was a matter of course, Fu Qinghai's original force perception quickly spread from the two tentacles-like filaments, turning into an invisible and intangible liquid, spreading and covering the entire stone room.

In this small stone room, every weed that stubbornly drilled out of the cracks, every vine that firmly climbed on the stone wall, every strand of silk thread woven by the spider in the corner, every drop of water that slowly condensed in the fluffy moss, every gravel on the ground, every speck of dust floating in the air...

All were within Fu Qinghai's perception.

My Force finally broke through.

This is a feeling that completely exceeds the five senses of vision, hearing, and touch. It seems that within this small space, all the details and subtleties... Fu Qinghai is in control!

Even immersed in this feeling, Fu Qinghai can go further inward and deeper. His Force perception penetrates through the stone slabs on the ground, explores deeper into the soil, and spreads over the vines and mosses covering the stone walls, and perceives the uneven patterns below.

The entire stone room was outlined and modeled in Fu Qinghai's mind, forming a multi-layered 3D stereoscopic figure with meticulous care.

Then, Fu Qinghai discovered that the concave and convex patterns on the walls of the stone room, which had become blurred and unrecognizable under the erosion and baptism of time, gradually became clear in the perception of the Force, and combined into some abstract graphic outlines that Fu Qinghai felt familiar with.

Hmm?

Fu Qinghai opened his eyes and interrupted his meditation.

He stood up from the ground and came to a stone wall covered with moss and vines.

Fu Qinghai reached out and pulled off the vines, pulled away the moss, and patted the soil, revealing the vague and rough indentations on the wall below.

After cleaning the entire wall, Fu Qinghai carefully observed and stared at these patterns.

A kind of totem worship?

It is normal for any murals and relics of ancient totem worship to appear on an alien planet.

This is a human-shaped totem standing up, with a long face, a tall body, slender limbs, and a hunched neck, like a human skull, but the human skull is not so long...

Compared with the blurred human figure, the geometric outline of the building can still be recognized.

Straight lines, a few simple strokes outlined the lines of several vertical obelisks, this strange but familiar architectural style...

Fu Qinghai stroked these shallow indentations with his palm, and his heartbeat slowly accelerated.

There seemed to be flying machines. In the totem picture, a solitary flying machine flew over the top of the obelisk and flew into the distance. It was a strange crescent-shaped flying machine...

The Scythe of the Dark Night.

Confirmed, Fu Qinghai's heart was shocked...

It was the Necrons!

Oh no, it's over, this is a tomb world.

Fu Qinghai's breathing became rapid, and he didn't know what to do.

"Boom!"

A heavy muffled sound stepped on the ground not far above his head. For a moment, noisy shouts and tearing beast roars passed through the gaps in the ruins and reached Fu Qinghai's ears.

In a dark stone room, the thin old man Hu Xian appeared in front of Fu Qinghai almost "swish".

"Qingshan, they are coming!"

Old man Hu Xian said in a deep voice.

Fu Qinghai was still immersed in the shock and confusion of being in the world of the Necromancer's Tomb, and subconsciously asked:

"What's coming?"

"Orcs, green-skinned orcs all over the mountains, they ride on giant beasts as big as dinosaurs, wield various primitive weapons, and lead groups of fart spirits, pouring into this valley and this group of ruins!"

Fu Qinghai came back to his senses at once.

After meeting the murderous eyes of old man Hu Xian, Fu Qinghai frowned and whispered:

"Let's go! Uncle, let's leave here first!"

…………

Thanks to the rewards from two book friends, Noisy Killing and Proletarian Astartes.

These chapters are actually a very clichéd plot, that is, Zhang Wuji falls off a cliff and encounters an old man and peerless magic. Please give me a little patience and tolerance, and let me fully introduce and explain the abilities of the Jedi Knights.

I must make it clear in advance what abilities the protagonist has. I think that the plot that has no foreshadowing and foreshadowing, and suddenly pulls out a so-called "trump card" or "treasure card" that has never been mentioned before to turn the tables when the crisis comes, is not cool, but insulting the readers' IQ. Many popular online novels have such plots. Whenever I see such plots, I will directly abandon the book.

Because the reading pace is fast now, everyone reads ten lines at a glance. If my foreshadowing is buried a little more secretly, no one will read it. So everyone can find that my foreshadowing is very obvious and intentional. Kayako is mentioned again and again, and many people have guessed it.
