The Dongfang family was the royal family of Eastern Chu six hundred years ago. The first king of Eastern Chu respected Confucianism and had always been on good terms with the Kong family. Later, when the first ancestor of the Qi Dynasty conquered the world, he was fortunate enough to be protected by Xu Jinzong, the first king of Donglu, in the chaos of the army. The Dongfang family left a bloodline that continues to this day.

When Dongfang Bell was born, his father was passing by Longdong Temple and heard the bell ringing in the temple. After returning home, he named his eldest son Dongfang Bell. Then another son was born, Dongfang Ming, whose father simply named him Dongfang Ming. After that, he worked harder and took the meaning of "Zhong Ming Ding Shi". God was also very kind to him, and he also had two sons.

Among the four, only the eldest son Dongfang Zhong is the most heroic and wise. Although the other three sons are not as resourceful as the eldest, they are born with supernatural powers. The parents at home were happy and told everyone they met that this was the meaning of Longdong Temple. The four sons were the four claws of the dragon, and the Dongfang family was about to take off.

The most unfortunate thing among the four sons was the fourth son. When he was just three years old, he found a copper bell from home. He was so powerful that when he was six years old, his three brothers could no longer defeat him with their combined strength. However, he was born stupid and had difficulty communicating with ordinary people. The Dongfang family was afraid that scandal would spread, so they had to stay at home and not have contact with outsiders.

Oddly enough, in a house where Dongfang Food was banned, no ropes or chains were needed. As long as a servant stood outside the door holding the copper bell and rang the bell, Dongfang Food would obey orders obediently. Everyone was puzzled, they just thought that one thing in the world was just another thing... If Yi Xiaodao hadn't broken into the Dongfang family's mansion and scared the servants away, Yi Xiaodao wouldn't have been able to see this little monster.

After Yi Xiaodao heard anecdotes about the Dongfang family from his servants, he secretly marveled. He sent the Yulin Army to search the Dongfang Mansion, and finally found the small copper bell beside the wall that the servant had left behind when he climbed over the wall to escape.

"Can this thing subdue that little monster?" Yi Xiaodao took the copper bell to his ear and shook it gently. The bell jingled with a crisp sound.

"Ahhhhhh!" Dongfang Shi howled incessantly, jumped out of nowhere, and ran to the copper bell. He stared at the bell, but did not reach out to take it. He just stood quietly without moving.

Yi Xiaodao was startled by the sudden appearance of Dongfang Shi and almost dropped the copper bell. Xue Mang was also startled and almost took action.

Yi Xiaodao calmed down and tried shaking it again. Dongfang Shi looked pained, but stood still, as if he was afraid of the copper bell.

"Although he is a little stupid, he is really pitiful." Yi Xiaodao sighed and put away the copper bell. Dongfang Shi followed Yi Xiaodao honestly. He followed Yi Xiaodao wherever he went. To be precise, he followed Tongling. .

Seeing that the copper bell was indeed able to control this barbarian, Yi Xiaodao felt relieved, ignored Dongfang Food, and started searching around Dongfang's house. Both parents of the Dongfang family passed away one after another the year before last, and now the head of the family is Dongfang Zhong.

In addition to encountering the little monster Dongfang Shi, Yi Xiaodao also found many rare and rare treasures in the Dongfang family's treasure house. The rare luminous pearls in the palace alone had as many as half a box, and the remaining jade Guanyin, gold The Buddha statues and other items are even more luxurious than can be described.

"Seal everything and don't move it." Yi Xiaodao ordered the Yulin army with a serious face. The Yulin Army came forward with a seal to seal it, and even sent someone to guard it.

The righteous Yi Xiaodao winked at Xue Mang as soon as he walked out of Dongfang Mansion: "Now you can make a fortune!"

"Master Yi, do you want to..."

"I didn't think about it! When the Donglu incident is settled, I will call Fan Jun and the others over to 'count' the treasures of Dongfang Mansion and send them back to the court. Who do you think I am?" Yi Xiaodao said with a righteous smile.

Xue Mang was quite speechless.

When Yi Xiaodao was feeling proud, a small school suddenly came to report: "Sir Yi, the Jicheng Army was found fifty miles outside the east gate of Jicheng. Mr. Wang Xuan please go to the east gate to discuss it!"

Yi Xiaodao put his face away, this was no time for joking, the real owner was back!

Arriving at the East City, the guards on the city wall had been replaced by soldiers from the Shangwu Camp. After days of training, these ordinary people who were originally carrying poles and hoes outside the city now looked decent, just like ordinary soldiers. .

"What's the situation with the other three gates?" Yi Xiaodao asked.

"They are all under the control of General Wei. Dongfang Ming has been taken into prison and is waiting to be punished."

Wang Xuan frowned and asked: "Dongfang Zhong came back too fast. Calculating the itinerary, he shouldn't have arrived in Weicheng at this time. Why is he back again?"

Yi Xiaodao pressed against the city wall and looked around. It was dark in the distance in the middle of the night. Yi Xiaodao could not see anything, but everyone knew that the Oriental Bell was getting closer and closer to Jicheng at this time.

"Hmph, don't you like to pretend to be imperial soldiers and horses? I'll let him fall into the trap! Send an order, all the Yulin Army and Shangwu Camp, change into the clothes of the Jicheng Army, let's catch turtles in the jar!" Yi Xiaodao said in high spirits said.

"Turtle? Butterfly! Butterfly!" Little Dongfangshi shouted excitedly when he heard the word "turtle".

Wang Xuan looked at Xiaodongfang Shi. Although he was confused, he didn't ask anything. He already understood what Yi Xiaodao meant. He immediately ordered to go down and change clothes in full swing on the city wall.

Dongfang Zhong was riding on his horse back to the city, his expression a bit ugly, followed by ten thousand soldiers and horses, and his third brother Dongfang Ding beside him who did not dare to say anything.

"Idiot! I asked you to find some people with similar looks. What's the use of finding a girl for me! How did you bring this person!" Dongfang Zhong became angrier as he thought about it, and shouted to his third brother Dongfang Ding.

Dongfang Ding replied: "Brother, I will discipline you well."

"If you don't manage well next time, just leave it alone! You won't let me worry about one or the other!" Dongfang Zhong got angry when he thought of these three brothers. The second brother was a martial arts maniac, and he would not recognize anyone once he did something. The fourth brother is born to be a fool. The only third brother who is a normal person is extremely mediocre.

"I don't know if leaving a madman and a fool in Jicheng will create some trouble for me! If they fight again, I will destroy them!" Since the death of his father and mother, Dongfang Zhong's temper has become worse and worse. He became more and more irritable, and Dongfang Ding did not dare to breathe in front of him.

After a while, Dongfang Zhong's mood slowly stabilized when he saw the gate of Jicheng in the distance. He sighed and said slowly: "The second brother and the fourth brother are not great talents. The Dongfang family still relies on you and me. Third brother, let's Brother, please save your worries."

Dongfang Ding was too embarrassed to say anything, and nodded in agreement.

"Open the door!" Dongfang Zhong came to the city and called the city gate.

"Password!" Yi Xiaodao shouted while hiding his face from the city.

"Unify the mountains and rivers!" The Oriental Bell echoed the password just changed the day before yesterday at the foot of the city.

Yi Xiaodao sneered in his heart: "Huh, changing the password is so treasonous." He quickly motioned to the military camp next to him to open the city gate, and he quietly waited for Dongfang Bell to enter the city.

The city gate slowly opened, and Dongfang Zhong, without doubting his presence, led his troops to rein in their horses and enter the city.

The Yulin Army and Shangwuying were waiting in the city, waiting for Dongfang Zhong and others to enter the city, close the city gate, and trap him to death in the city.

After the two brothers Dongfang Zhong and Dongfang Ding entered the city, the Yulin Army and Shangwu Camp, who were waiting on both sides of the road, slowly approached, waiting for Yi Xiaodao's order.

Dongfang Ding didn't notice anything strange. Dongfang Zhong looked at the "Jicheng soldiers" approaching slowly and felt something was wrong. These Jicheng soldiers and generals usually behave themselves well, so why are they a little strange today? The impatient soldier had already touched the handle of the knife. Dongfang Zhong reined in his horse in time, turned the horse's head, and rushed towards the city gate.

"Brother?" Dongfang Ding hadn't realized what happened. He didn't understand why his eldest brother suddenly turned around and left the city in such a hurry.

"Up!" Yi Xiaodao shouted, jumped down from the city wall, and stood alone outside the city gate. The Jicheng Army, which had not yet entered the city, was startled and did not understand what was happening.

Dongfang Shi saw Yi Xiaodao jumping off the city tower. Because of the copper bell, he also climbed up the city wall and wanted to jump off. Xue Mang grabbed him and pushed him aside: "If you want to go down, take the stairs." The copper bell was not on Xue Mang's body. , Dongfang Shi didn't listen to Xue Mang's kindness at all, and started to compete with Xue Mang. Xue Mang was pushed back...

The Yulin Army and Shangwuying drew their weapons and swarmed towards Dongfang Ding. No matter how mediocre Dongfang Ding was, he still understood the right side of the city, pulled out the steel whip on his horse, and started beating him left and right.

For a while, there was chaos all over the city.

As soon as Dongfang Zhong ran out of the city gate, Yi Xiaodao pounced on him. With the experience of fighting against Dongfang Ming and Dongfang Shi, Yi Xiaodao took the lead in using fire energy to activate his internal energy, penetrating his whole body, and a sense of fullness of power came.

Dongfang Zhong was also well prepared and was not afraid at all when he saw Yi Xiaodao coming towards him, but he had no time to draw his weapon. The two punched each other in the chest and flew backwards at the same time. Yi Xiaodao fell outside the city, and Dongfang Bell fell into the city.

The two of them turned over and climbed up at the same time. Yi Xiaodao shouted angrily: "Close the door!" The figure rushed forward again like an arrow.

Dongfang Bell also fell badly, but he understood that the situation was urgent and there was no time to relax, so he walked around his horse and wanted to make a mistake with Yi Xiaodao and leave the city first. When Yi Xiaodao passed by the war horse, he punched the horse's belly. The horse neighed miserably and was hit towards the Dongfang Bell.

Dongfang Zhong only wanted to get out of the city and had no intention of fighting with Yi Xiaodao. He jumped to avoid the approaching horse and wanted to jump out from above. Yi Xiaodao was also on guard. The two jumped up at the same time. Yi Xiaodao grabbed Dongfang Zhong and dragged him from mid-air to the ground. The two were in a stalemate.

The city gate slowly closed.

"Butterfly, big butterfly!" Xue Mang couldn't stop Dongfang Shi at all, and Dongfang Shi also jumped off the city wall and fell onto his back. But he quickly got up from the ground, not caring about wiping the dust off his body, and ran towards Yi Xiaodao.

"Fourth brother! No!" Dongfang Zhong saw Dongfang Shi running in from the city gate. He was so frightened that he shouted hurriedly, but it was already too late.

Dongfang Shi jumped onto Yi Xiaodao's back: "Big butterfly!"

Yi Xiaodao felt a huge force coming from behind, unable to stand at all, and fell onto Dongfang Zhong's body. Dongfang Zhong felt greater power and could not hold on. They both fell into the city.

Although the Jicheng army outside the city was also trying their best to block it, Xue Mang used magic on the city. In addition, the Yulin army and Shangwu camp were well prepared and fired a volley of bows and arrows, shooting down the Jicheng army in large numbers.

The city gate finally closed.

"Big butterfly, big butterfly..." Dongfang Shi lay on Yi Xiaodao's body, murmuring with a silly smile.

Dongfang Zhong stood up unsteadily, clasping his hands and looking at Yi Xiaodao without saying a word. Yi Xiaodao also had blood at the corner of his mouth, but he couldn't get up. After all, there was a little monster Dongfang Shi pressing on him. Yi Xiaodao wanted to reach out for the copper bell, but his hands were pressed under him and he couldn't pull them out. No matter how hard he struggled, it was of no avail.

Dongfang Zhong walked up to Yi Xiaodao, expressionless, took out the sword from his waist, aimed at Yi Xiaodao's head, and chopped it off...
