Duan Wenjun did not give a detailed explanation for the lead replacement, but he gave a seemingly reasonable reason.
Instead of feeling that he was being pretentious, everyone felt that the young man in front of them seemed to be very magnanimous.
Although he didn't tell everyone how he transformed from a burnt rice ball into a piece of lead filled with gold and silver, everyone didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
Even Yun Zhongdiao, who had been thinking about how to master the art of alchemy, seemed to be less anxious.
After all, if Duan Wenjun can really refine gold, that will be enough.
As long as he finds a way to let Duan Wenjun stay in the village safely, then there will be no problem.
Moreover, although he only had contact with him for more than half a day, he seemed to feel that Duan Wenjun was not very scheming.
Although, in his opinion, Duan Wenjun deliberately concealed the process of making lead blocks.
Moreover, Duan Wenjun's explanation is not perfect.
However, he could feel that people like this were not difficult to deal with.
If in the future, I use some methods and know the details, it will not be difficult.
Of course, if Duan Wenjun is really worried about injuring everyone and chooses to work alone in the room, this will make him more candid and naturally easier to control.
No matter what the situation was, Yun Zhongdiao felt that the young man in front of him seemed to be a cute guy.
He even began to look forward to it, hoping that Duan Wenjun could really refine gold...
This meal of wine and meat only lasted most of the night, and the moon was gradually setting in the west.
After having enough wine and food, everyone went back to their rooms to take a nap for a while.
Duan Wenjun ordered the little leader of the guard to wake him up if he saw the lead block taking shape.
When I was woken up, the east was already pale.
There is already a hint of coolness in the late summer morning on Shanfeng Mountain.
Thick fog shrouded the surrounding mountains.
The cottage, which was originally very simple, now looks even more cold and depressing.
He took Lin Shu'er and followed the little boss who came to wake him up to yesterday's room. Only then did he realize that everyone else had already arrived.
However, Mr. Ma's face was livid and he seemed very angry.
Yun Zhongdiao and Wuji Taoist on the side also had sad faces and serious expressions.
There were two corpses lying on the ground. They were the people who were responsible for guarding them yesterday.
Duan Wenjun couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and suddenly became a little uneasy.
A group of them all had such bitter and resentful expressions. Could it be that there was something wrong with the lead block they made yesterday?
Thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem right.
If there is something wrong with his alchemy skills, and there is something wrong with the lead block he refined yesterday, then Taoist Wuji shouldn't think of himself in this way.
Moreover, if something happens, he should notify himself in advance.
Could it be that Taoist Wuji gave up on his family and betrayed himself out of consideration for brotherhood?
It seems that the probability is not high.
Seeing Duan Wenjun approaching, everyone looked at him.
Taoist Wuji took the lead and walked up to him, "Master Duan, something happened!"
"What's wrong?" Duan Wenjun stopped and looked at him.
"The lead weights are all gone." Taoist Wuji stared at him and spoke.
"Gone?" Duan Wenjun was stunned and turned to look at the little boss who had just woken him up.
When the little boss heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he knelt down on the ground with a thud. "Master, I really don't know what's going on! According to Mr. Duan's instructions, I saw the lead block changed color, so I went to find him."
The little boss already knew what happened to the two men lying on the ground.
They were responsible for taking care of these lead weights, but the lead weights were lost.
With the violent nature of the leader, there is no way he would be able to keep them alive.
"Master Duan, what do you think?" Yun Zhongdiao ignored the little leader kneeling on the ground and stared at Duan Wenjun and spoke.
Duan Wenjun walked into the room without comment and immediately frowned.
Yesterday's lead block models were all made of plaster.
At this moment, the table was in a mess.
Not only are all the lead weights missing, but even the model holding the lead weights has been completely destroyed.
In the corner under the table, there are two pieces of lead scattered.
This shows that the person who took away the lead weight was very nervous and anxious at the time, and also very panicked and disorganized.
Moreover, the lead block on the ground has been formed, which means that the little boss did not lie. The lead block was stolen after it had cooled down.
Hearing Duan Wenjun's analysis, Mr. Ma frowned, "Then who stole the lead? Why did they steal the lead? The half bag of gold sand placed next to it was not moved."
"There are so many lead weights and they are very heavy. The thief will definitely not be able to move them too far." Taoist Wuji also said, "If we try our best to search on the mountain, we might be able to get some clues."
Mr. Ma nodded, and just when he was about to speak, Yun Zhongdiao suddenly spoke again, "Mr. Duan, what do you think?"
This is the second time he has asked this.
Duan Wenjun is a little strange.
"Second Master, what do you mean?" Duan Wenjun frowned, stared at Yun Zhongdiao and spoke.
"Nothing, I just want to hear Mr. Duan's thoughts." Yun Zhongdiao replied.
Duan Wenjun frowned and suddenly felt unhappy, "So, the second master suspected that I was cheating on myself and that I stole the lead?"
Yun Zhongdiao didn't say anything, but slowly took out a lead block from his pocket and said, "Mr. Duan, look, is this the lead block you made?"
Duan Wenjun took it, looked at it, and nodded doubtfully.
"I found this near the guest room where you live." Yun Zhongdiao let out a long sigh. "I just want to ask Mr. Duan, can these lead blocks really make real gold and silver?"
At this moment, no matter how stupid Duan Wenjun is, he understands.
Yun Zhongdiao was doubting himself.
He doubted himself and did not understand alchemy.
He thought that everything he had done before was just a trick, and that he would not be able to continue like this until he stole the lead block during the final process.
Moreover, he also distanced himself from himself.
"Hmph!" Duan Wenjun snorted coldly, "Even if I say now that I can make real gold and silver, I believe the second master will not believe me!"
"Second brother, what do you mean?" Taoist Wuji on the side also reacted.
"Second brother, don't be like this. Mr. Duan was not careless in his alchemy yesterday. You can't jump to conclusions easily." Third Master Ma also said.
"You can suspect that my brother Duan is committing theft, and I can also suspect that you broke your promise and deliberately hid the lead to blame my brother Duan!" Lin Shu'er on the side suddenly became unhappy and stared at the crowd angrily.
Her hand was already on the hilt of the sword.
If there was a disagreement, she would be ready to fight to the death.
"Xiao Chunzi also lives over there in the guest room!" Suddenly, Taoist Wuji's eyes lit up and he shouted.
"Third brother, you said it was Xiao Chunzi who stole the lead?" Mr. Ma was shocked when he heard this.
Yun Zhongdiao's expression also became very solemn.
"It's not impossible!" Taoist Wuji nodded. "Xiao Chunzi also claims to know the art of alchemy, and he definitely doesn't want Mr. Duan to refine gold. If he steals the lead, wouldn't it mean that all our previous efforts have been wasted and we won't be able to tell who is it?" Really, who is fake?”
"Let's go! Go take a look!" Before Ma Sanye could finish his words, he had already taken the lead and walked towards the direction where Xiao Chunzi lived.
