Chapter 10 The Future
Animals that follow primitive laws in nature are innately equipped with a special sensory ability compared to humans.
In addition to the instinct of hunting and survival, this ability also has the magical effect of seeking good luck and avoiding disaster. Before various natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, wildfires, etc., we can see the phenomenon of all kinds of animals frantically escaping. Maybe humans are hiding behind the beasts.
The era of evolution also had this ability, but it was gradually forgotten. Sometimes evolution is not entirely a benign development.
In his previous life, James continued to improve himself and enhance his awareness by practicing boxing, and he already had the ability to perceive things beyond ordinary humans. In addition to being more sensitive to the surrounding environment, he also had some sense of hostility, murderous intent and other crises.
It is said that in addition to the physical "indestructibility" of the highest realm of martial arts, there is also a miraculous ability called "not seeing or hearing, and avoiding danger when aware of danger" in spiritual practice. This ability in the spiritual realm is not just about habits.
People with martial arts may achieve this. Since ancient times, they have mostly been hermits who practice Taoism and practice Zen, great writers who are arrogant and open-minded, and even extremely devout religious believers.
If human beings choose another tributary in the winding river of history that is different from the development of science and technology, then it is still unclear what kind of world it will be.
Sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed in the ruined and unrecognizable forest clearing, James seemed to have a kind of perception similar to the sixth sense but stronger and controllable. The basis of this perception is not only the comprehensive improvement of the extremely strong
Vision and beast-like night vision, as well as excellent hearing and a wolf's super visual sense of smell, are more like the state called "mind" when spiritual cultivation reaches its peak.
He felt intoxicated as a few unknown birds quietly landed on the treetops, the breeze carried the soft hum of the leaves, the hare jumped hastily to avoid the sting of a poisonous snake, and the owl twisted on the branch of the tree.
Turning his head to look for prey, a puma yawned and took long strides, and scared away a deer without interest...
Slowly, James could even "see" them clearly in his consciousness. After a long time, he carefully controlled and restrained this ability that he called "beast perception", so that he could regain the weakness of ordinary humans as much as possible.
Sexual perception. This talent is like enhancing a radar or signal. If it can only be turned on but not turned off, normal life will be greatly affected.
Only when he can use it freely can he truly become his own power. He has never longed for the supreme divine power that falls from the sky. If it is not powerful enough to be mastered by oneself bit by bit, not only will it not be able to be used to the extreme, but it will also have extremely fatal side effects and weaknesses.
"The self-healing and rapid division of cells at the genetic level has surpassed any real or legendary highest state of the physical body that humans can achieve through practice..."
James couldn't help but sigh. He knew clearly that even if the legend was true, practicing boxing to the point of "breaking the void and seeing the gods is indestructible" would be able to reborn, repair all kinds of damage inside the body, thereby greatly extending life and maintaining physical fitness. But apart from this
The ability to regenerate quickly and have no idea of the end of lifespan is really far behind.
"What will be the effect if I continue to practice boxing with such a body? Now that I have practiced An Jin and reached the level of transformation, will the level of Bao Dan go further on this basis?" James thought to himself, considering this possibility.
sex.
Fundamentally speaking, boxing, both internal and external, is to gradually explore the potential of the human body, improve the body's functional qualities in all aspects, and constantly approach the theoretical extreme of the human physical level, thereby achieving some kind of "superhuman" ability.
So what if it is a body with unlimited potential? How much power can be discovered by a heterogeneous species that can heal itself quickly and has a long lifespan? James' eyes shine with an almost substantial brilliance, like a bad wolf with a faint green light at night.
…
James returned to his room in the manor before sunrise. He didn't want his grandfather to worry about him anymore. In the past ten years, he had truly accepted this unsmiling and somewhat serious and cruel old man, Mr. Howlett, from the bottom of his heart.
To a certain extent, he was very much like his former master, who protected him from wind and rain, but was also in ruins.
The butler Wayne was originally Mr. Howlett's oldest brother, but Wayne was only a little older than John Howlett. When Wayne was a teenager, he and his parents were kidnapped by robbers, and Mr. Howlett rescued them.
, From then on, Wayne followed Mr. Howlett, and the relationship between them was not a simple friendship.
After John's death, Mr. Howlett did not have enough energy to handle the entire estate by himself, so he asked him to come back to help. Mr. Vane simply became the housekeeper. In addition to taking care of Mr. Howlett and managing the manor, he also
Solve the business of various local industries more often.
"Good morning, Mr. Wayne." James came down from upstairs and greeted the butler Wayne who was busy arranging servants in the hall.
"Good morning, Master James!" The butler bowed in return. It must be said that Mr. Vane did an outstanding job in transforming himself from a soldier who could only shoot a horse into a manor housekeeper with gentlemanly qualities.
He even wears a single transparent eye, a pocket watch in the chest bag, and the watch chain hangs naturally from the lower end. The brown linen suit highlights his still strong figure. Although both Mr. Howlett and James have more
I emphasized for the first time not to address them with honorifics like master and young master, but Mr. Wayne still insisted. He seemed to like this status and role very much.
"You are busy so early in the morning. Is your grandfather going out?" James asked.
"Yes, young master, Mr. Howlett is going to visit the Governor today, so he told me last night to be well prepared and prepare gifts." The butler Wayne explained, and then the groans of the wooden boards being struck by the cane were heard, and Howlett
Mr. Little slowly walked down the escalator.
James stepped forward quickly and helped his grandfather slowly go downstairs. Mr. Howlett waved his hand and said to his grandson: "It's okay, it's not serious. I may come back later. Don't wait for me to have dinner. Recently,
Don't run too far, you can deal with more affairs of the manor. Now that you are older, you have to help with more things." Mr. Howlett told him. He always pretended to be serious in front of his grandson, but he was also convinced by himself.
The earnest expression betrays it.
"Don't worry, I understand. By the way, Grandpa, I heard that the Governor has been causing trouble for us recently. Are you going to find him..." Before James could finish his words, he was interrupted by Mr. Howlett: "That's right.
I have to go there because he is causing trouble. The new official only wants something when he takes office. Solve these troubles as soon as possible, and you will be more comfortable in the future."
James hesitated to speak, but just nodded to his grandfather. He insisted on holding the old man's arm and sent him to the carriage. Mr. Howlett waved his hand, paused the crutch in his hand, and signaled to the coachman.
"ha!"
The coachman shouted loudly, flicked his whip, and four large horses spread their hooves and drove away. Behind them was a wagon full of gifts and eight riders on both sides. James kept watching Hao Hao. Mr. Little walked away, stood and thought for a while, and walked towards Victor's cabin.
Governor Kevin Smith knew that Mr. Howlett was coming. What was surprising was that he seemed to be very happy to know that an old friend from far away whom he had not seen for many years was visiting. He ordered his servants to set up arrangements early at noon, preparing to welcome Mr. Howlett. .In view of the transportation and road conditions in this era, Mr. Howlett could only leave in the morning and arrive at the Government House in the evening.
The sun has slowly set, and the last ray of the setting sun shines on the tall iron gate of the Governor's Mansion. The shadows of the horse's hooves and wheels remain on the ground for a moment, and then disappear. The servant of the Governor's Mansion opened the door neatly after seeing the carriage. Welcoming Mr. Howlett, whose boat was stumbling.
"Welcome! Mr. Howlett, the Governor is already waiting for you outside the manor."
Mr. Howlett was a little confused, and then said: "The Governor is too polite, let's go."
Governor Smith is a middle-aged man with a small stature. He seems to be in good spirits. His hair is much thicker than that of the British who like to go bald. He looks ordinary, but he looks like an extremely shrewd person. As a frontier general, Officer, he is more like a businessman.
"Mr. Howlett! I've admired you for a long time! You should have sent someone to notify me earlier. The preparations were really hasty." Smith walked forward quickly and held Mr. Howlett's hand and said enthusiastically. Before Old Howlett could wait, Then, he continued: "What I should also apologize for is the beef cattle incident a few days ago. It was really not my intention. You have to listen to my explanation today."
