Chapter 131 Zhu Tong: Showing off his sword in front of Guan Gong! [1 more]

Guan Sheng and Zhu Tong both have the same phoenix eyes, long eyebrows, faces as red as dates, and long beards down to their waists.

Even their heights are similar. Zhu Tong is eight feet four and a half, while Guan Sheng is eight feet five and a half.

People who are not familiar with them can only tell that they are two people when they stand together.

If the two appeared alone, if Guan Sheng did not wear parrot green, ride the Red Hare, or hold the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, without this iconic equipment, it would be impossible to tell who is who.

Now that the two were in the same boat, Cai Fu made a careful comparison and discovered:

Zhu Tong's beard is thicker than Guan Sheng's, but Guan Sheng's beard is longer than Zhu Tong's.

In addition, Guan Sheng is taller and stronger than Zhu Tong.

Apart from that, the two look so much alike, like half-twins!

Cai Fu couldn't help but think of Xiang Zuo and the Rain God, the little house and Xiao Mozi, Lin Daiyu and Chen Xiaoer...

It also seems that Guan Sheng and Zhu Tong also want to contact each other, but they just haven't found the right opportunity.

The main reason is that Guan Sheng is a man who imitates his ancestors and is very arrogant. He always squints his eyes and strokes his beard when he has nothing to do.

If anyone approached him, he wouldn't open his eyes, but would just lift his eyelids a little and look at them sideways...

So Zhu Tong wanted to approach Guan Sheng several times, but when he finally mustered up the courage to approach Guan Sheng, he prematurely ejaculated again...

Cai Fu felt anxious for them, so he approached Zhu Tong:

"Brother Zhu Tong, you look so much like my fourth brother!
"If you two weren't standing together, I wouldn't be able to tell who is who!"

Zhu Tong glanced at Guan Sheng's back:

"Yes, but General Guan is a direct descendant of Guan Bodhisattva!

"My little brother is no match for you..."

Before Zhu Tong could finish his words, Cai Fu pulled him to Guan Sheng's side:
"Fourth brother, come and take a look!"

Guan Sheng, who was standing at the bow pretending to admire the scenery, turned around and looked Zhu Tong up and down:
"Indeed, there are some similarities."

"One of you is from Hedong, and the other is from Shandong. The fact that you look so alike must be fate!"

Zhu Tong agreed with Cai Fu's words. Although Guan Sheng was arrogant, he also felt that it was indeed very rare.

Cai Fu changed the subject and asked Zhu Tong:

"Brother Zhu Tong, do you know how to use a sword?"

When talking about this, Zhu Tong became very embarrassed and his voice became three times lower:
"I can also use a broadsword..."

The main reason was that he looked like Guan Yu and was nicknamed "The Man with Beautiful Beard", so almost everyone thought he could use a sword.

But in fact, his swordsmanship is mediocre, especially when he stands in front of Guan Sheng, it is really like "showing off his sword in front of Guan Gong"...

So every time someone asked him about his swordsmanship, Zhu Tong would blush and avoid the question.

He also knows some spear techniques, but his spear skills are not as good as those of Lin Chong, Hua Rong, Yang Zhi, Xu Ning and others.

All I can say is that it is not as good as the best but better than the worst.

Guan Sheng: “Haha.”

Guan Sheng tried his best not to sound so contemptuous when he said "Hehe", but Zhu Tong's face still turned red.

If someone else laughed at his swordsmanship, Zhu Tong might not accept it, but the problem was that the person laughing at him was Guan Sheng...

Zhu Tong's face was already red, and now it was even redder than cooked pig's blood. He bowed and was about to leave.

Cai Fu grabbed him and said, "Brother Zhu Tong, have you ever received instruction in swordsmanship from a famous teacher?"

Zhu Tong shook his head: "I can't compare to General Guan, who comes from a prestigious family. I just learned some country tricks."

Guan Sheng raised his eyebrows: What, are you not convinced?
"There's an old saying in the Central Plains: 'A hundred years of cultivation will allow you to cross the river together, a thousand years of cultivation will allow you to...

"Ahem, we are now in the same boat, this is fate!
"You two are so far apart, yet you are so similar. This is fate!"

Cai Fu knew that although Zhu Tong's martial arts skills were mediocre, he took the name "righteousness" from Guan Erye, so he wanted to win him over:
“Since we are so destined to meet, I will build a bridge for you!
"Brother Zhu Tong, how about you become my fourth brother's disciple?
"If you learn swordsmanship well, you will be worthy of being called "The Man with Beautiful Beard"!" Zhu Tong was overjoyed when he heard this:
Is there such a good thing?
You must know that Guan Sheng is the descendant of Guan Erye!
If you can learn sword skills from Guan Sheng, you will be a disciple of the Martial Saint!

The title of "Man with Beautiful Beard" is now justified!

Zhu Tong never thought that he would have such an opportunity at the age of twenty-seven or twenty-eight. He hurriedly bowed to Guan Sheng and said:

"I, Zhu Tong, would like to take General Guan as my teacher!"

To be honest, Guan Sheng had never thought of taking in an apprentice, not for any other reason, but mainly because his swordsmanship was inherited from his family.

But Zhu Tong is different, Zhu Tong looks so much like him!
To put it bluntly, maybe none of his sons look as much like him as Zhu Tong!

Moreover, Zhu Tong's nickname was "The Man with Beautiful Beard", which was once Guan Yu's nickname, and Guan Sheng wanted him to change it.

But Zhu Tong has been in the martial arts world for so many years, and his nickname was given by others...

Guan Sheng asked people to change their nicknames as soon as he arrived, which seemed too overbearing and narrow-minded.

It’s different now that Zhu Tong is willing to take him as his teacher.

Guan Sheng stroked his beard a few times and made a plan in his mind:
“Since Big Brother has spoken, Guan can accept you as his disciple.

"But there are three things I must say first..."

When Zhu Tong heard that he could be taken in, he said happily:

"Even if it's thirty or three hundred things, I will obey Master!"

Guan Sheng narrowed his eyes and said:

"First of all, Guan's swordsmanship is inherited from my family.

"If you want to learn Guan's swordsmanship, you must take Guan as your adoptive father.

"Otherwise, I won't be able to pass on my family's sword techniques to you. I can only teach you some unconventional sword techniques."

what?
When Cai Fu heard this, he thought, isn’t this a bit too much?
Guan Sheng is only five or six years older than Zhu Tong...

As a result, Zhu Tong kowtowed without hesitation and called him his adoptive father.

Guan Sheng finally felt more at ease after hearing Zhu Tong call him his foster father.
"The second thing is, since you have accepted me as your adoptive father, you must also respect my ancestors.

"You can no longer be called 'Man with the Beautiful Beard'."

Zhu Tong agreed immediately:
"Of course, I'll change my nickname now!
"How about calling me... Daolang?"

Cai Fu almost spit out his words: "There's no rush for a nickname, you can take your time to think about it, don't be hasty..."

Guan Sheng also said there was no rush:
"The third thing is that Guan has no children.

"In the future, you will take care of me in my old age and see me to the end..."

Cai Fu knew that Guan Sheng had a son.

His son is named Guan Ling, who will become sworn brothers with Yue Fei's son Yue Yun in the future.

But Guan Ling was born too late.

You have to know that Guan Sheng is now in his thirties and Yue Fei is only thirteen years old.

But when Guan Ling and Yue Yun became sworn brothers in the future, she was actually the same age as Yue Yun.

In the original novel, Yue Fei got married at the age of seventeen, and had a child at the age of eighteen, which was five years later.

In other words, Guan Sheng was about 38 or 39 years old when he gave birth to Guan Ling, which can be considered as a late-life child.

Perhaps it was because Guan Sheng felt that he might not be able to give birth to a son that he was willing to adopt Zhu Tong as his adopted son.

Of course Zhu Tong agreed readily, and so Guan Sheng and Zhu Tong became father and son with the help of Cai Fu!
……

Loyalty Hall.

Lu Zhishen and Wu Song were furious and shocked when they heard what Song Jiang said:
"Is this true?"
