Chapter 184: A Good Wife, a Good Mother, and a Fellow Believer
Shinjuku-ku, Kabukicho, an old Kabuki theater
Like Peking Opera in China, Kabuki in Japan faces the same problem: fewer and fewer young audiences understand and watch Kabuki.
But tonight, tickets for this old Kabuki theater were sold out, and many people even paid a lot of money to bring their own seats to enter the show. However, most of the people who came to buy tickets were young women, dressed in sexy and hot clothes, and they didn't look like the traditional audience of Kabuki.
The theater manager didn't think much about it, but thought that Amaterasu couldn't bear the withering of this ancient art and sent down a gift. It's a pity that the clerk on the side shattered the manager's beautiful illusions, saying that the young audience did not come for Kabuki, but for the man who was so stunning.
The performance on stage is a newcomer named Ruri Kazama, although the theater manager has not heard of it, but the female staff all know his name, which is the legend of the cowherd world, the throne, and the supreme.
There is a ranking list in the Cowherd Practitioners' Association, which is not satisfied with the ranking of turnover and appearance, but the professional older generation of Cowherd seniors select the masters of men's ikebana from an artistic point of view, and Ruri Kazama has been ranked first on this list for six consecutive years.
You must know that Ruri Kazama never works for a certain cowherd shop, so it can be said that the dragon sees the beginning but does not see the end. Maybe he'll show up at a bar today, show up at a bubble tea shop tomorrow, and sit in the same seat for three days in a row. When the rich and powerful women received the news, he appeared again at a hot spring inn or on a bridge across the sea.
Every time Ruri Kazama appears, she accompanies a girl. For a small amount of money, a meal, a glass of wine, or even a cup of milk tea, he can spend hours chatting with you, singing for you, performing kabuki for you, giving you expensive gifts, and accompanying you around Tokyo for a wonderful evening. And the next morning, he will leave you the best Japanese breakfast in the world.
On the stage, the curtain hung low and it was pitch black.
Such a quiet environment makes these women who usually go to and from nightclubs a little uncomfortable, they still like to push glasses and change lamps in the hustle and bustle to laugh loudly; I like to wear sexy dresses instead of this elaborate kimono and evening dress; They were supposed to be jumping in the wine pool, but now they were sitting in their seats like lady Ban'an waiting for the show to begin.
But, in order to enjoy Ruri Kazama's performance, everything is worth it. Moreover, Ruri Kazama's performance is by no means foolish, but a true masterpiece. It is said that Ruri Kazama has also been praised by several famous Kabuki masters, including Shin'ichi Morita who was born in the fifth generation of the Morita family, one of the Japanese Kabuki families.
"Bando Yuzaburo" is a hereditary title of a dignitary in the Japanese Kabuki world, similar to the name of "Wind Demon Kotaro" passed down from generation to generation by the head of the Wind Demon family, and the fifth generation of "Bando Yuzaburo" whose real name is Shin'ichi Morita, is known as Japan's "Mei Lanfang", because he suffered from polio when he was a child, so he embarked on a long road of female performance skills.
However, this master of the Kabuki world accepted Ruri Kazama as a closed disciple, and repeatedly claimed in front of outsiders that if it weren't for Ruri Kazama's noble bloodline, he would be able to take the name "Bando Yuzaburo".
However, to the puzzlement of these female audiences, Ruri Kazama wanted to set up a separate seat for a man on the side of the stage. Even though they admit that the man seemed to be second only to Ruri Kazama as handsome among the men they had seen, they were still puzzled and envious of the man.
The lights on the stage suddenly dimmed, and someone woke up behind the scenes, and the small drum was hoarse and low.
The curtain opened, and one person sat on the stage. There is a white wooden screen on the table, next to the screen is a small table, on which is a white porcelain vase, in which a spring peach blossom is inserted. The man was wearing a blood-red wide-sleeved kimono with large flowers embroidered on it, as red as if it had been dyed with blood.
The man stretched out a slender jade hand that was as white as transparent, picked up the beautiful spring peach blossom, and with the other hand, stroked the soft and shiny green silk, and used the spring peach blossom as a bun and inserted it into the hair. A sweet smile appeared on his face, as if he was rejoicing in this spring peach hairpin, and he stood up lightly, dancing, and his waist was like a bundle of shoulders.
A different kind of beauty is deeply rooted in people's hearts, making people completely forget his gender.
"Tired and tired hairpins as evidence, the Son of Heaven personally gave it in the past;
Don't remember the style, talk about him, and meet Long for a while;
also pay Linqiong, three thousand weak water east, clouds and red;
The shadow of the moon has long since melted, and there is a long way to go;
The way is lost, looking back on an empty ~
Flashy dreams, three lives are slim, and there is no trace of karma;
Although you are in love, why meet again;
The rest of the soil is alive, and whoever is passing away will have no end in the east;
And keep Penglai Palace, far impermanent, Song Qingping~"
The singing echoed in the theater, and the man on the stage could be thought of as Yang Yuhuan who died in Ma Weipo in history without closing his eyes, because his singing voice was so sad and resentful.
This is a Chinese-themed "Yang Guifei", so the lyrics are all in Chinese. This is also the repertoire performed by Ruri Kazama's master, the famous Sakato Tamasaburo Sakato, for the first time, and it is also his fame. In the eyes of the audience, the positioning of Ruri Kazama's performance repertoire "Yang Guifei" does not mean to pay tribute to the teachers in the audience.
At the end of the song, the audience did not erupt in warm applause, because even the women who did not understand kabuki were in tears, and they did not resume the noise because of the end of the performance, but felt lost because of the end of the performance.
The whole theater was very quiet, no one said a word, and no one wanted to spoil the atmosphere.
However, the man sitting in Ruri Kazama's special seat spoke.
"How is Bo Xing Jinyilang, who wishes for the day of the wings. Later, the grief and resentment were so deep, maybe it wasn't because the encounter was too beautiful. β
Chen Hongxian spoke Chinese, and the women present had not studied Chinese, but those kabuki masters were different. Just when the women wanted to be born and reprimanded Chen Hongjian for his rudeness, the masters applauded.
"Thank you for your comments and thank you for watching, Liuli is grateful."
Ruri Kazama bowed, and didn't get up slowly until the curtain rose.
The audience was still in their seats reminiscing about Fang Cai's performance, and Chen Hongjian had already walked into the dressing room backstage. He and Ruri Kazama are friends, even if someone didn't know about it before, now that Ruri Kazama admits it personally, no one in this theater knows about it, so naturally he won't stop Chen Hong from letting him in.
Ruri Kazama waved his hand, telling those who had brass badges with the word "ghost" pinned to their chests to step back, and while unloading their thick makeup, they chatted with Chen Hong.
"Should I call you Chen Jun, or should I call you brother?" Ruri Kazama joked that his first large-scale kabuki performance would be a success, and he was naturally in a good mood.
"It's okay to call me Hongjian and Chen Jun, brother or something, it sounds too awkward, it gives me goosebumps." Chen Hong gradually glanced at him, "By the way, I'm going to trouble you to keep an eye on the king general recently, it's okay to kill a few more shadow warriors on him, and then keep an eye on the fierce ghosts, and contact me as soon as you have any big plans." β
"Oh? Can you kill the Shadow Warrior? Didn't you say let me endure it? Now, ready to get your hands dirty? When Ruri Kazama heard this, her already joyful mood added a bit of excitement and murderous intent, and she no longer had Yang Guifei's delicateness.
"Well, this time I'll settle Herzog's affairs completely before leaving, so you don't have to endure it anymore, as long as you don't delay business."
"That's great. In this case, Chen Jun, you go to your brother and them first, the king general's car is coming soon, I want to use that shadow warrior to vent the anger accumulated in the past year. β
Ruri Kazama gently stroked the two antique knives on the knife stand, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Those two knives were gifts from Uesugi on his birthday last year, and one of them was called "Onikiri".
"Chu Manchu Zhong thought that it was the duty of the suppression, and it was not a sharp sword, and it was not enough to demonstrate. A few dove smelters, more swords. None of them are pleasant. There was a good work before the building, but it was not satisfactory because of the calling. Work worries, pray to God for seven days, refine for more than 60 days, and get two swords. Manzhong Dayue, try to behead a death row prisoner. The rest of the momentum is cut off by its whiskers and broken by its knees, which is called the knee cutting pill. Genji's heirloom of the Treasure. β
"Knee Pill" was named "Spider Cut" because of the killing of earth spiders, which is the one in the hands of Yuan Zhisheng.
"Sukiri" is named "Ghost Kiriri" because Tsunade Watanabe used this knife to cut the wrist of the oni god Ibaraki Boy at the Gojo Ferry.
Uesugi sent this ghost cut to Ruri Kazama, one is because he is now inheriting the surname of the Gen family after all, and the other is also to hope that Ruri Kazama will remember that she has always been a child of the source, the younger brother of the source child, and not do anything that kills each other.
The other is the "Ishikimaru" of Yoshihei Minamoto's love knife, known as "Kamakura Evil Genta", which is said to have cut off huge stones.
Although Ruri Kazama and Uesugi have never met, from those two knives, he still feels a family affection that he has not experienced for a long time.
As a very evil ghost, will Ruri Kazama also crave family affection?
There is no doubt that it will. Eager to take revenge on his brother.γMori Luo's ghost-like Kazama Ruri,In the end, it's just love and hatred.γ What's more, after learning the truth of the year, the object of his revenge became Herzog.
Of course, he didn't intend to take revenge on his brother, but at Chen Hongji's suggestion, he beat Yuan Zhisheng severely.
(Gen Zhisheng: Are you polite??? οΌ
As for whether this kind of thing needs to be approved by Gen Zhisheng himself, Uesugi agreed anyway, and said that Yuan Zhisheng is indeed not beaten, and he can help hold down Gen Zhisheng. Ruri Kazama also agreed, and Gen Zhinu also felt that it was okay to beat her brother to make Ruri Kazama angry, and he could also use an excuse to stick to his brother and take care of his brother.
So, the two personalities reached an agreement and decided to kill Herzog first, and then beat up the stupid brother to get angry.
Chen Hong gradually walked out of the Kabuki theater, and according to the location displayed by the mobile phone navigation, he came to the toy store not far away, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw the scene that Gen Zhisheng asked Aso to really refer to.
"Slow down, slow down." Chen Hong gradually held down Yuan Zhisheng, he didn't understand how such a simple thing could be so troublesome that he wanted to kill Aso, and hurriedly said, "I just went out to watch a kabuki performance, why did I use a knife and a gun?" β
After listening to Caesar's account, Chen Hong was gradually shocked.
I've seen Leng , I've never seen such a Leng , it's worthy of a stupid elephant turtle that even his own brother killed directly.
"Eh, what do you see carved on this baseball bat?" Lu Mingfei suddenly stopped everyone.
"Shall I see?" Chu Zihang studied Japanese before he came, and he could understand the hiragana engraved on the baseball bat, "Aso? β
Everyone couldn't help but look at Noda Shou who was kneeling on the ground tremblingly with a strange face, Lu Mingfei suddenly realized, patted his head and said, "I'm familiar with this matter!" β
After knowing that the name of Aso was engraved on the baseball bat, Lu Mingfei immediately understood the reason for everything.
As a strong candidate for the third generation of the Noda group, he came to this toy store every night rain or shine to read manga, instead of going to a nightclub to watch the bewitching girls dance, and watched Aso for more than 20 hours in a week. is also wearing such a bells and whistles white long trench coat, with perfume on his body, obviously a gangster, but his hair is very delicately groomed.
Isn't this a proper crush?
Wasn't that the case when he had a crush on Chen Wenwen?
This is simply the old version of Lu Mingfei in the late stage of secondary disease!
After listening to Lu Mingfei's explanation, everyone suddenly realized and called good guys.
Although Lu Mingfei said it in Chinese, the three words "Aso Zhen" were read by Chu Zihang in Japanese, so Aso Zhen, a delicate girl, also understood Noda Shou's intentions, and instantly blushed.
Chen Hong gradually looked at Yuan Zhisheng with a smile: "Brother, do you want me to deal with this matter?" β
Although Yuan Zhisheng is a little stereotypical, he is not completely unreasonable, after all, in the final analysis, this matter is just an eighteen-year-old boy pursuing another eighteen-year-old girl, but the method is a little wrong, which leads to misunderstanding.
"Whatever you want." Gen Zhisheng walked to the bookshelf on the side, picked up a comic, and sat down in the seat next to him to read it.
"Okay, okay, you all heard it, I'll take care of this matter, don't kneel either." Chen Hong gradually pulled up Noda Shou and Aso Makoto, with a warm smile on his face.
Chen Hongji's clothes at this time are actually very similar to Yuan Zhisheng's, both of them are two long swords at the waist (Japanese swords are not distinguished), and one sword is a black windbreaker, but Chen Hongji, whose expression is diametrically opposed to the cold Yuan Zhisheng, makes them feel more friendly. He said Lu Mingfei's analysis in Japanese, Noda Shou scratched his head embarrassedly, and Aso Shinya lowered his head shyly, not daring to look at the other party.
Chen Hong gradually pulled Noda Shou and asked in a whisper in the other party's ear: "You are a little gangster, you should like that kind of bewitching, charming and mature woman, why do you like such a quiet and quiet girl?" β
Noda Shoumasa said: "A man needs to marry a good wife and mother to rest assured that he can break into the world!" β
Chen Hongjian did not refute Noda's view. A man like Noda Shou who wants to continue to work hard in the underworld is suitable for either a good wife and mother who is a husband and a child at home, or a "fellow practitioner" who can accompany him to the world.
Caesar suddenly laughed, and the corners of Chu Zihang's mouth also showed a faint smile, how could these half-bloods who want to stand on the front line of dragon slaying be the same as these underworld elements?
However, they were lucky enough to find a girl who could stand side by side with them on the battlefield of dragon slaying.
