Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 143 The Rural Encounter (1)

It was another peaceful morning, the sun was rising from the east, a ray of sunlight filtered through the window and sprinkled on the light blue sheets, revealing the things in the room. At this time, a young man in black sportswear was Sitting cross-legged on the bed, with his hands resting on his knees naturally, he has straight black hair, and Xiao Jian's face is expressionless. After a while, he seemed to feel the light, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes slightly. His eyes opened slowly.

"It seems that there is still no growth?" Wang Li frowned and said to himself. Since the second day after he came to Portugal, Wang Li found that he had encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation. According to Xu Zhuzi, it was The natural blockage of twisting acupoints in the body is a problem encountered by all Taoist inner strength methods. It is said that it is a punishment from heaven, so it is said that "cultivation is against the sky".

Practicing inner family exercises emphasizes the unity of mind, spirit and body.The heart refers to the cultivation of the mind, that is, the cultivation of the state of mind, which requires experience in the world and the growth of the state of mind through life; the god is the situation, that is, to obtain aura, a feeling state that can be met but not sought. The so-called breakthrough in the competition refers to the cultivation of the spirit; and the body refers to the cultivation of the body. This is the basic, as long as you work hard, you will complete the accumulation of internal strength sooner or later.

The more advanced the martial arts, the higher the requirements for the mind and the spirit. That is to say, a simple-minded person will never be able to cultivate the internal martial arts to a high level.In the previous life, with the help of his master Xu Zhuzi, when Wang Li encountered a bottleneck, he forced open his three twisting acupoints with his kung fu, so that he was able to let his little Wuxiang Gong reach the realm of Xiaocheng.However, in this world, it is impossible.

If one wants to break through the bottleneck of Taoist exercises, the mind, spirit, and body are indispensable. What Wang Li lacks now is God, that is, he lacks a chance to break through. If it was in the previous life, even without the help of Xu Zhuzi, He can also find aura by fighting and competing with others, but think about it, who in this world can compete with him?The "World Kickboxing Competition" that Rooney often watches, in Wang Li's view, is almost like pediatrics. After all, no matter how powerful the external boxing is, it is impossible to compare with the internal martial arts.

Shaking his head, Wang Li knew that this kind of thing is rare, so he sat upright, and after getting dressed, he was ready to do some exercise.

Running from the hotel to the Stadium of Light and back again is Wang Li's exercise.The air is very fresh in the morning, which makes him feel close to nature. Even though this kind of exercise does not help his body much, it can improve his mood, so he has insisted on going for a lap every morning for the past two days .

After returning to the hotel, he took a cold shower, and then went downstairs to have breakfast. Although Eriksson asked the players to eat the nutritious meals specially prepared by the team every day, in fact, almost all the players now agree with this rule. Ignoring it, for these big-name players, that kind of nutritious meal is really hard to swallow. Of course, it also has an advantage, that is, it is convenient, and the player's nutritionist provides it at any time, but his business is not good.

The same is true of Wang Li, who would rather go to a small restaurant next to the hotel for some white bread and juice.Sitting by the window, he picked up a stack of newspapers beside the table, the date on it was February 2th, it seemed that it was delivered this morning.

After the England team defeated the Swiss team, both Wang Li and Rooney became the topic of the Portuguese media. They were arguing almost every day about his performance and positioning. What puzzled Wang Li was that now "Express " and "News Agency" even fought a war of words over this.Wang Li searched casually, and fixed his attention on a report called 'The Man with the Ghost Face'.

"A ghost-faced man with a fancy mask and several colored pictures painted on his face, who 'righteously' said that other people are grandstanding clowns, but in Portugal, a football country, this man is regarded by all competing players. The top league clubs say 'NO' at the same time, this is the most ridiculous thing in this century. I don't know why he can still perform there, and no one even stops it. I think the animal protection society should have a policy, It is forbidden for wild domestic animals to run around, so as not to disturb people's normal rest in the middle of the night." --- "Express"

After reading this report, Wang Li was directly overwhelmed. Only then did he know that it is not a Chinese patent to swear without profanity. Luo's body is a powerful counterattack to the "clown theory" in the "News Agency".

Seeing someone stand up for him, Wang Li was overjoyed, but also deeply puzzled. He didn't know anyone in "Express", why did they protect him so much? Since Wang Li came to Portugal, among the media, "Express" Almost every report about him published is praise, and occasionally even criticizes those newspapers and periodicals that have published unfavorable remarks about him.

"The owner of this newspaper is not his own fan, is he?" Wang Li laughed when he thought of this possibility. Ten days ago, the Portuguese fans and the media had never even heard of him, so how could he be? Such a 'hardcore' fan?

Wang Li thought about it for a long time, but he didn't have any clues, so he simply gave up thinking about it, just like his own cultivation, let's live with the situation.

"Miss, another 10 slices of white bread, by the way, add a pinch of fruit juice, thank you." Wang Li turned his head and said to the beautiful girl who was staring at him.Mondone was stunned for a moment, her face flushed slightly, and she immediately realized that she picked up the tray and walked towards the kitchen behind.

"She's so handsome" she thought silently, then looked at the clean tray in her hand, "It's just that she ate a little too much..."

…………

Because after defeating the Swiss team the day before yesterday, the England team no longer had the pressure of the group stage, so Eriksson generously gave the players a day off today. Wang Li, Rooney, Bridget, Owen and Beckham made appointments for a few days They went to visit the Portuguese countryside together. In order to take care of Wang Li and Brigi, who had just become a single nobleman, they agreed not to bring their girlfriends.

After breakfast, several people picked up their backpacks and set off. Their goal was the city of Sintra in the north of Lisbon.

Located on the outskirts of Lisbon, Sintra is the summer residence of the Moorish nobles and the Portuguese royal family. It is located at the foot of the mountain with the same name as the city and is a beautiful place.The mountains in this area are undulating, and palaces, castles and villas are located in this blue sky. The cultural landscape and natural scenery are combined together, making it a world-famous tourist attraction.

Of course, another purpose of a few big men coming here is to satisfy the desire of the tongue, because in Sintra, you can eat all kinds of seafood made with special seasoning, and the local flavor is very strong, but you can’t eat the original flavor in other places.

After a few hours of "crossing mountains and ridges" and admiring the Portuguese-style royal palace and aristocratic buildings, Owen, who is the weakest in physical strength, couldn't walk at all, so they could only regretfully find a restaurant nearby to take a rest. They are ready to go back, because the vacation is only one day, and they still have to participate in training tomorrow.

"After the European Cup is over, it would be nice to come here for vacation. How about it, Alan?" Sitting at the dining table, Beckham asked expectantly.Of course he wasn’t looking forward to Wang Li. Ever since Victoria heard that Wang Li’s girlfriend is the little princess of England’s royal family, she has been urging him to get to know him. Of course, Beckham himself has this idea, even for such a big star. The royal family is still full of nobility and mystery.

"Maybe, I haven't figured it out yet. My father said he would go back to China. You know, that's his hometown. My father hasn't been back for more than eight years."

"So…"

At this time, there was a noise from downstairs, and it sounded like Bridget’s voice. Beckham turned his head and looked at the people next to him. He quickly put on his sunglasses and dragged Wang Li to go downstairs. go.

Coming down from the box upstairs, Wang Li looked through the aisle of the small stairs. It seemed that Bridget had an argument with a black-haired woman, and there was a waiter next to him cleaning up the water stains on the ground. Riggy accidentally spills their drink.

Wang Li was about to go forward to mediate, but he stopped immediately after taking two steps. He never thought that he knew that black-haired woman!
