Chapter 144: Chance Encounter in the Village (1)

It was another calm morning, the sun was rising from the east, a ray of sunlight through the window, sprinkled on the light blue sheets, so that the things in the room appeared, at this time, a young man in a black tracksuit was sitting cross-legged on the bed, his hands were naturally on his knees, he had erect black hair, Xiao Jian's face did not have any expression, after a while, he seemed to feel the light, took a deep breath, and slowly opened his slightly closed eyes.

"Still doesn't seem to have any growth?" Wang Li frowned, and said to himself, since the day after coming to Portugal, Wang Li found that he had encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation, according to Xuzhuzi, it is the natural sealing of twisted acupoints in the body, which is a problem that all Taoist internal martial arts will encounter, and it is said to be the punishment of God, so there is a saying that 'cultivation is against the sky'.

The practice of internal family exercises focuses on the unity of mind, mind, and body. The heart refers to the cultivation of the mind, that is, the cultivation of the state of mind, which needs to be experienced in the mortal world and grow the state of mind through life; God is the situation, that is, to obtain the aura, a feeling state that can not be encountered, the previous martial arts people said that in the competition can break through the realm, here refers to the cultivation of God; As for the body, it is the cultivation of the body, which is the basic, as long as you practice hard, sooner or later you will complete the accumulation of internal force.

The more advanced the martial arts, the higher the requirements for the heart and spirit, that is to say, a simple-minded person will never be able to cultivate the inner family exercises to a high and profound realm. In his previous life, with the help of his master Xuzhuzi, when Wang Li encountered a bottleneck, he used his strength to forcibly break through his three major twisting points, so that he was able to make Xiao Wuxianggong reach the realm of Xiaocheng. However, in this world, it is impossible.

If you want to break through the bottleneck of Taoist exercises, the heart, spirit, and body are indispensable, and what Wang Li lacks now is God, that is, he lacks a breakthrough stealing machine, if it is in the previous life, even without the help of Xuzhuzi, he can also find spiritual light by fighting with people and competing, but think about it, who in this world can compete with him? The kind of 'World Free Fighting Championship' that Rooney often watches, in Wang Li's opinion, is almost like a pediatric, after all, no matter how powerful the external fists and feet are, it is impossible to compare with the internal exercises.

Shaking his head, Wang Li knew that this kind of thing was unavoidable, so he sat up upright, and after getting dressed, he was ready to do a workout.

Running from the hotel to the Stadium of Light and back again is Wang Li's workout. The air is fresh in the morning, which gives him a feeling of being close to nature, and even if this exercise does not help his body much, it can improve his mood, so he insists on running a lap every morning for the past two days.

After returning to the hotel, I took a cool shower and then went downstairs for breakfast, although Eriksen asked the players to eat the team's specially configured nutritious meal every day, but in fact, almost all the players are now ignoring this rule, for these big stars, that kind of nutritious meal is really difficult to swallow, of course, it also has an advantage, that is, convenience, the player nutritionist is always available, but his business is not good.

The same is true for Wang Li, who prefers to 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 on the table, dated February 20th, which seemed to have been delivered this morning.

After England's victory over Switzerland, Wang Li and Wayne Rooney have become the talk of these Portuguese media, and they are arguing about his play and positioning almost every day, and what puzzles Wang Li is that now "Express" and "News Agency" have even fought a war of words over this. Wang Li rummaged through it casually, and set his sights on a report called 'Ghost Face Man'.

"It's the most ridiculous thing of the century for a ghost-faced man with a fancy mask and a few colourful drawings on his face to say that everyone else is a grandstanding clown, and that this person is being said 'no' at the same time by all the competing top league clubs in the football nation of Portugal. I don't know why he was still able to perform there without anyone even stopping him, but I think the Animal Protection Society should have a policy to prohibit wild livestock from running around in order to disturb people's normal rest in the middle of the night. --- Express

After reading this report, Wang Li was directly shocked, and he knew that scolding people without dirty words is not China's patent, and this report of "Express" is simply a mouthful of water spit on Kurilt. Sandro is a powerful counterattack to the 'clown theory' of the "News Agency".

Seeing that someone stood up for him, Wang Li was not only happy, but also deeply puzzled, he didn't know anyone in the "Express", why did they protect themselves so much, since Wang Li came to Portugal, in the media, "Express" published almost every report about him, almost always praised, and even occasionally criticized those newspapers and periodicals that had published unfavorable remarks against him.

"The owner of this newspaper can't be his own fan, right?" Wang Li thought of this possibility, but he laughed first, 10 days ago, Portuguese fans and the media had never even heard of him, how could there be such a 'hardcore' fan?

Wang Li thought about it for a long time, but he didn't have a clue, so he didn't want to think about it, just like his own cultivation, just let it go.

"Miss, 10 more slices of white bread, by the way, add a puff of juice, thank you." Wang Li turned back to the beautiful girl who was staring at him next to him and said. Mondoniel paused, her face flushed, and she reacted immediately, picked up the tray and walked towards the kitchen in the back.

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

…………

Because after the victory over the Swiss team the day before yesterday, the England team has no pressure in the group stage, so today Eriksen generously gave the players a day off, Wang Li, Rooney, Bridget, Owen and Beckham agreed to go to the Portuguese countryside together for a few days.

After breakfast, the group picked up their backpacks and set off, aiming for the city of Sintra, north of Lisbon.

Located on the outskirts of Lisbon, the summer residence of the Moorish nobility and the Portuguese royal family, Neutra is a beautiful place at the foot of the hill that bears the same name as the city. Palaces, castles and villas are located in the midst of the rolling hills, and the combination of cultural and natural scenery has made it a world-famous tourist destination.

Of course, another purpose of a few big men coming here is also to satisfy the appetite of the tongue, because in Xintra you can eat all kinds of seafood made with special spices, and the local flavor is very strong, and you can't eat the original flavor in other places.

After a few hours of 'climbing over the mountains' and admiring the Portuguese-style royal palaces and aristocratic buildings, Owen, who had the worst physical strength, couldn't walk at all, so they could only regretfully find a nearby restaurant to rest and prepare to go back in the afternoon, because the holiday was only one day, and they still had to participate in training tomorrow.

"It's nice to come here for a holiday after the European Championships, how about it, Alan?" Sitting at the dining table, Beckham asked expectantly. Of course, he was not expecting Wang Li, since Victoria heard that Wang Li's girlfriend was a little princess of the English royal family, she had been urging to get to know him, of course, Beckham himself had this idea, even for this kind of big star, the royal family is still full of nobility and mystery.

"Maybe, I haven't thought about it yet, my father said he was going back to China, you know, that's his hometown, and my father hasn't been back for more than eight years."

"So..."

At this time, there was a noise downstairs, it sounded like there was Brigitte's voice, Beckham turned his head and looked at each other with a few people next to him, hurriedly put on his sunglasses, and pulled Wang Li downstairs.

Coming down from the upstairs box, Wang Li looked through the corridor of the small staircase and saw that Bridget seemed to have had a verbal altercation with a black-haired woman, and there was a waiter next to him who was cleaning up the water stains that had been spilled on the floor, and it seemed that Bridget might have accidentally spilled their drinks.

Wang Li was about to step forward to mediate, but he stopped directly after taking two steps, he couldn't have imagined that the black-haired woman he actually knew!
