Qingzhou, one of the three states in the Northern Regions, is also the most populous and wealthiest state in the Northern Regions.

The main character, Wei Longnian, will pass by here in a few days, and he has also taken in a pair of twin sisters. It was the Qingzhou prefect who dedicated his loyalty to Wei Longnian, and Wei Longnian, like most of the protagonists of novels, did not take down the two sisters for the first time, but took them with him to cultivate their feelings.

The manor where the statement is located belongs to the Qingzhou territory, and there is only one old servant in this manor, who was specially bought by the owner of the manor to watch the house.

The manor belonged to a wealthy merchant from the capital, and it was usually idle. Only when you come to Jeju every winter to do business, you will rest here for a few days.

In the dim light, Shen Ming and the old servant asked and answered questions to understand the situation.

"You go and lie down in bed and close your eyes."

Shen told the old servant to close his eyes and lie on the bed, wanting to perform a sleep spell on him.

The old servant became nervous, the secret thief wouldn't be trying to kill himself, right? Said with a scared mouth:

"Hero, spare my life, my mouth is very strict, and I won't talk nonsense."

"Don't worry, you lie down and don't move to sleep, I won't do anything to you."

This little spell works very well on those who don't resist, and it will also help those who have insomnia, and the old kung fu servant who doesn't have a lot of money can purr from his mouth.

After observing for a while, I saw that the old servant was really asleep and would not wake up immediately. I turned around and went to the main room to search and see if I could find healing medicine or something.

Shen Ming asked the old servant what was going on in those rooms, but the old servant never entered again, and all the rooms were locked except for him, and the key was in the hands of the owner of the manor, and he did not know what was inside.

Shen Ming searched several rooms, there were beds, tables and benches in the rooms, a few quilts in the cabinets, and nothing else.

Shen Ming sighed, and secretly said that although this is a good place to hide, there are no materials to use.

"It seems that the wounds on the body can only be slowly nourished with mana."

There was a hint of ferocity in his eyes:

"But we have to solve the old servant first."

When passing by the firewood room, he took out a firewood knife, which he saw during the search just now, held it in his hand and waved it and walked towards the target.

There was a faint light in the small room, and there was an eerie feeling. Shen Ming took the knife and gestured at the old servant's neck a few times, sighed and couldn't get his hands down.

Although he was ready to kill someone in his heart, if the target of the first murder was a poor old man who had no resistance, he would really not be able to do it.

There is a risk in keeping him, affirming that he will not underestimate anyone now, and he will not trust anyone. Maybe as soon as the front foot was released, the back foot brought officers and soldiers.

Affirming that you know a spell can solve the problem at hand.

"Servitude"

This is a spell that has never been cast before, and the spell of slavery is more complicated to cast. This spell also only works on mortals who are depressed. Comatose state, dying and seriously injured, mental disorder and other such are the best, and it is difficult to succeed in a normal state.

The successful subject of enslavement will obey the caster's words, and there will be no desire to hurt the caster in the depths of his heart, but the effect will become weaker and weaker over time, and it is best to cast it once a year.

The wisdom and memory of the enslaved object will not be affected, and it will remain what it is in normal times.

Shen Ming looked at the sleeping old servant and whispered:

"Whether I live or die depends on whether I can succeed."

He cut off the old servant's hair, thought about it, and cast a sleep spell on him, and put a few drops of blood on his hand with a knife.

Pull out a few straws from the straw mat on the bed, wrap your hair and a few drops of blood in it, and cast spells and weave the straw man while chanting a spell. When everything is successfully completed, put the woven straw man on the table, take a step back and kneel down and kowtow, kowtow twenty-four times in a row, and after kowtowing, the straw figure is set on fire.

Next, Shen Ming walked up to the old servant and bit his finger to draw a talisman on his eyebrows.

A "茦" sounded from the mouth

At the same time, the force poured into the old servant's eyebrows, and the runes began to slowly fade until they disappeared.

"It's finished."

Feeling that he had succeeded, Shen Ming's face showed joy, he didn't expect that he could do it for the first time.

In order to test the effect, he solved the old servant's sleeping technique and made him sober up.

"Well, how did I fall asleep, I remember someone ......"

"Well, master?"

The old servant was stunned for a moment, looked at Shen Ming beside the bed, knelt down and kowtowed:

"The old slave has seen the master."

Shen asked tentatively:

"Why do you call me master? Didn't we just meet for the first time today? ”

The old servant thought for a while, and there was no memory of affirming the previous day in his mind, but deep down in his heart he asked him to be respectful to the affirmation and obey the affirmation's orders. A little confused, he said:

"A host is a host. I can't say why. ”

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Shen Ming threw the firewood knife over and ordered:

"I want you dead."

When the old servant heard this, he was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the bed and kowtowed, and said with a crying voice:

"The master spares his life, the master spares his life. I'm still useful, I can help you buy medicine for injuries and help you cover up. The master spared his life. ”

Shen Ming Leng said:

"What? Don't listen? ”

The old servant suddenly stopped, and tears appeared on the old man's face and said:

"Obedience"

His whole body trembled, and his hands trembled to get the knife, but he couldn't pick it up the first time. Secretly ruthless, grabbed the handle of the knife and wiped it towards his neck.

"Alright, let's stop."

When he saw the result he wanted, he told the old servant to stop.

When the old servant heard Shen Ming's order, he quickly threw the knife aside and kowtowed to Shen Ming again.

"Thank you master for not killing, thank you master."

After Shen Ming let the old servant get up, he asked:

"How much money do you have here? What medicines can I buy? ”

The old servant hesitated and said embarrassedly:

"Master, I have saved more than 300 small coppers, which is only enough to buy a pair of hemostatic medicine or tonic. But when the pharmacy in town opens tomorrow, I'll try to see if I can come back on credit. ”

Affirmation:

"Forget it, you don't have to worry about the medicine. There's nothing to eat, give me the whole point. ”

The old servant hurriedly said:

"Yes, yes. I'll go get it ready for you. ”

It turned out that the owner of the manor only gave the old servant 500 copper every year, even if he saved food and simple use, it was enough for half a year. But he will also be flexible, planting some vegetables in the yard and next to the Zhuangzi, selling vegetables in exchange for food, and even having a surplus to buy some wine to drink.

A small pot of rice and a plate of vegetables is already the best that the old servant can come up with now.

"Master, that's all there is to it now. I'll go to town tomorrow and buy some meat and eggs. ”

Shen Ming waved his hand and said:

"No, keep your own money, that's fine."

Then he said to the old servant:

"Don't call me master, it sounds awkward. Call me Mr. Shen. ”

The old servant said that Mr. was even stranger, but he didn't dare to object. Said with a respectful face:

"Yes, Mr. Shin."

Next, Shen Ming hurriedly finished eating, and casually found a room to meditate and heal and cultivate.
