However, a lot of problems were also found in the work, Sun Wukong shouted that there were too many people to open the mine, a team of 3,000 people all pulled up the mountain, and they could line up for miles to that station at any time, Master, let's go to mining, not fighting, what do you want so many people to do, it's really a waste.

Hearing Wukong's complaint, Tang Sanzang ignored it and motioned for him to find a mine to dig and try it first. But the dignified Monkey King didn't know about geological exploration, but he really had a way, so he directly found the old mountain god to find a way, and after pulling out a few whiskers from the old man's chin, he finally found an iron ore vein thanks to his guidance.

Sun Wukong was very happy and immediately rushed to lead the troops to the mountain to mine. But as soon as they arrived at the mountain, the monkey was dumbfounded, and nearly 3,000 people opened the mine for a long time, and they were stunned to dig out a tunnel more than 100 meters deep, and they did not even touch the slightest hair of the ore vein. The monkey suddenly realized, the ore was provided by the mountain gods for free before the feelings, and my grandson did not know the mystery of this, these ores are either buried deep in the mountains, or sleeping on the earth, mining to open the mountain, build mines, is an extremely huge project, just this 3,000 people are really only enough to drift.

Moreover, the snake pan mountain is full of steep rock cliffs, stubborn rocks into forests, even if you use the golden hoop rod to hit hard, you can only knock down a few big stones, if you really want to knock out a vein, I don't know that it is the year of the monkey and the month of the horse. The monkey was completely out of recruits, and shouted that there were not enough people, so he asked the master to send more people. Tang Sanzang half-squinted his eyes and told him that now the key to the project is to build ships for personnel transfer, and Lao Tzu still thinks that there are not enough people for logging, so how can he send someone to you?

The monkey was very depressed when he heard this, and asked the master with a smile: "Master, it doesn't matter if you don't call people, you have a lot of knowledge, so give me an idea." If our progress goes up, can we provide you with more ore?"

Tang Sanzang nodded, thought for a long time, and gave him a move: "Wukong, do you know the principle of thermal expansion and cold contraction? We can pile firewood on the rocks, light them with fire, and when the rocks are roasted red, then pour cold water, so that the rocks will naturally crack after extreme expansion and contraction." ”

Wukong listened with a puzzled face, scratched his scalp and said, "Master, the rocks that so many of us can't dig through, and we can help with water and fire alone, it's too whimsical, right?"

Tang Sanzang glanced at him with disdain, and snorted coldly: "Dead monkey, it's good to be skeptical when you encounter something, but how do you know if it's okay if you don't try? Go ahead, go and see me again." ”

Sun Wukong nodded, looked at the master with a smile on his face, and ran away. Seeing that the monkey was so well-behaved, Tang Sanzang shook his head, and couldn't help but feel proud in his heart, damn, Lao Tzu tossed the dignified Monkey King to the point that he lost his temper, and let him open the mountain to mine without losing the price, it was too strong. But Xuanzang is right, Sun Wukong is also a hard-working person, he is too smart and reckless, so that if he believes in a person, he will die to the end. Such a character can easily make him think about the world too well, which is why, in addition to his disappointment, he will do extreme things like making trouble in the heavenly palace, probably because the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Thinking of this, the holy monk couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, alas, the dead monkey has lived for hundreds of years but is still a child's temper, which is really nerve-wracking.

After a while, Sun Wukong rushed to report to the master: "Master, your method really works, the boss's stone will crack without much effort, haha, now our progress will be greatly improved." ”

Sanzang was very happy to hear this, and said with a smug face: "Of course, your master and I are erudite, and the method I came up with will certainly work." However, the Eagle Sorrow Stream is far from the top of the mountain, so I'm afraid it's not convenient to get water, right?"

Wukong waved his hand and said proudly: "Master, you also underestimate my grandson, my grandson has been king in Huaguo Mountain for so many years, and this coordination ability is still there." I arranged for 1,000 people to collect discarded timber to make wooden barrels, and then weave straw ropes from the bark to build ropes between the two places. The barrel is added with a straw rope, and the middle is fixed with a pulley, and only 100 people need to be divided to fetch water, and 100 people pull the pulley to pick up the water source, which is enough for us to use. Master, my grandson suggested that the iron-striking team be moved up the mountain together, so as to save the trouble of moving the ore up and down. ”

Tang Sanzang couldn't help nodding, laughing and complimenting: "I didn't expect you kid to be quite a set, I chose the right person." Okay, then I'll entrust you with the task of mining, and you'll need to speed up the progress to meet the needs of the other teams. ”

The monkey didn't expect the master to praise himself like this, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed, solemnly surrendered his promise, patted his chest and promised to complete the task.

The mining team was greatly encouraged, and refreshed the mining progress as if it were desperate, often taking only five or six days to win a mountain, which was continuously excavated with ore and coal and sent to smelting iron tools, which was too efficient.

For this reason, the old mountain god specially ran to beg the monkey for mercy: "Great Sage, you better take it easy, this is a team of 3,000 people, if you really want to dig like this, within three or five months, the snake mountain will be razed to the ground, and the little old man will have to change his career as land." ”

Tang Sanzang was very satisfied with the brilliant achievements of the mining team, and encouraged him to take away 2,000 people without mercy to supplement the lack of shipbuilding team.

The monkey was very dissatisfied with this, and complained to the master: "Master, you are too much, my grandson is easy to get a little better, you come over to dig the corner, we have only 3,000 people in total, you will take away 2,000 at once, don't you want to pull me back?"

Sanzang laughed when he heard this: "Wukong, your enthusiasm is really high, but our real purpose is to open a canal to divert water, not to let you mine." The mines you've opened these days are enough, so I'll leave you with a thousand people to sweep them up slowly. Sun Wukong was relieved and went back to clean up the ore with a thousand of his men.
