After a delay in Jinling for several days, Xuanwei and his party continued to go north.

This time, they did not choose to ride in the car, but relied on two legs to do their asceticism.

After only half a day's effort, the group was away from the hustle and bustle of the city and stepped into a completely different world.

The deserted mountain roads, the sparsely scattered low dirt slopes, and the bare surface with few green accents are dull and desolate.

The sky was gray, and even the air was extremely stagnant, as if something invisible had collapsed and weighed down with the sky.

There are no voices, no birds, not even summer cicadas.

Only the suppressed roar of the machine, which sounded from time to time, echoed in my ears.

In this environment, the pace of the group couldn't help but slow down a little, and the faces of several people were faintly impetuous.

"When is this going to be the end?" Qinglian complained rather sullenly, as if she couldn't bear the situation at this time.

The lotus root's body far exceeded the physique of ordinary people, so that Qinglian did not get tired from long-term asceticism, but such a boring and dull process made her irrepressible and impetuous.

"I don't know where this is?" said Ming Ye a little helplessly.

Fang just wanted to use his mobile phone to locate it in real time tomorrow night, so that he could know where everyone was now, but if there was no signal, there was no way to receive map data smoothly.

This is not surprising, like this desolate place where birds don't, even if the mobile phone can have a signal, I'm afraid it won't lead to anything useful.

"Amitabha, let's rest for a while, what does the Xuan Micro Master think?" Pu Ji, who was at the forefront of the line, asked Xuan Wei.

Xuan Wei glanced at the back, not only Ming Ye and Qinglian, but also several young monks in Lingchan Temple were also extremely tired at the moment.

"It's a good thing, I'm really tired after walking for so long. Xuanwei nodded in response.

The tiredness that Xuan Wei said is not only physical tiredness, but also mental tiredness.

Walking on foot, playing around the city and doing ascetic walking in the wilderness are two completely different experiences.

The former may be physically tired, but mentally will be pleasantly and enjoyed by the satisfaction of freshness, while the latter will be tortured along with the spirit, pure pain.

"Practice, practice, practice in the middle of the line, practice in the middle of the line. Xuanwei patted Qinglian's head and said slowly.

Before Qinglian could speak, Mingye, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, preemptively said: "If you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach thousands of miles." It's not easy to practice, so you have to correct your mentality first, right, master?"

After speaking, Ming Ye glanced at Qinglian meaningfully.

Qinglian exploded in an instant, she didn't know the meaning of the little eyes in the night tomorrow, wasn't it just a hint that her state of mind cultivation was poor?

However, soon, Qinglian laughed instead of being angry, and said to herself lightly and indifferently: "Yes, someone is as weak as a chicken, which slows down the whole team, but the mentality is optimistic!"

Ming Ye, who was slapping his calves and relaxing, instantly twitched the corners of his mouth, and said with a chuckle: "A positive attitude is better than gloomy and negative, right?"

Xuan Wei shook his head helplessly, but the corners of his mouth raised a slight smile.

These two disciples are really enemies of fate, and such a childish bickering can actually go on happily.

However, after their trouble, the atmosphere of the team was much more relaxed, and several people who were slightly impetuous before gradually calmed down.

……

After arguing for more than ten minutes, Mingye and Qinglian snorted together, and turned their backs angrily.

"Bang! Bang!"

Again, the noise of the machine was heard, not so loud that it was harsh, but it seemed to have a magical power, and it was disturbing.

"What the hell is this doing, it's ugly! Is the road being built or a building nearby?" Qinglian stretched out her hand to cover her ears and said with some annoyance.

"Hehe, in such a remote place, building roads and buildings is not the same as taking money to spend money?" said tomorrow night.

Qinglian pursed her lips, and said to Ming Ye very dissatisfied: "Then you can tell me, what is going on with this noise?"

"It must be digging the mountain!" didn't sell it tonight, and directly said his guess.

Xuan Wei explained: "Every time the sound sounds, there is a slight tremor on the ground, and the dust raised can be vaguely seen in the air in the distance. ”

"No matter what you're doing, a site with such a large machine should be a big one, and there will definitely be a village nearby. Tomorrow night said.

"Let's go, try to find the village before dark, or we'll be sleeping in the wild today. Xuan Wei clapped his hands and greeted everyone.

There was no food or water source to quench hunger and thirst on the bare surface of the surrounding area, and the group had long since run out of supplies.

Immediately, the group got up and continued on their way.

The noise grew louder and louder as everyone approached, and the dust in the air grew thicker and thicker.

Fortunately, the group has mastered the way to practice qi, otherwise, they will have to eat a few mouthfuls of ashes just by taking two breaths.

Ten minutes later, the group finally saw a hill that had been dug up in a mess.

The reddish-brown soil was completely exposed to the air, large and small potholes, piles of rocks and dirt on the ground, and a few trees buried in the dirt.

In front of the mountain wall, several excavators are digging into the mountain with large shovels, as if they are brutally dismembering a giant.

Not far away, a group of workers carried baskets of dirt to a kiln factory with a large chimney and thick black gas.

Outside the kiln factory, there are red walls stacked with red bricks.

"Master, is this burning red bricks?" asked Ming Night.

"Well, digging the earth and firing the red bricks. Xuan Wei replied in a low voice, but his brows furrowed inadvertently.

Ming Ye pursed his lips and said with some uncertainty: "If I'm not mistaken, red bricks should be banned in China, right? Not to mention digging mountains and soil, encroaching on and destroying the country's mineral resources!"

Speaking of red bricks, many people are familiar with it, but it is estimated that some people do not know that the state has issued relevant policies to prohibit the production and use of solid clay bricks.

In some big cities, hollow bricks have been implemented in construction sites, and solid red bricks are still the main material used to build houses in remote villages and towns.

"Amitabha, this is supposed to be an illegal brick factory. Puji said in a deep voice.

Not to mention whether the production of red bricks is prohibited, the act of digging mountains alone must be stamped and sealed by the land department, and the work process must be strictly in accordance with the rules and regulations.

And the barbaric way of digging mountains in front of the brick factory is obviously not like a formal and legal channel.
