The performance on the stage is still not over, but it has reached its final chapter.
Izanagi disappeared, and Kazama Ruri once again put on a snow-white robe. Kazama Ruri's low singing echoed through the speakers in all directions of the Kabukiza. The song was sad and desolate, like a lonely wild soul crying in an empty well.
"All happiness in the world is like an epiphyllum that appears in the shadow of the moon."
"Only loneliness and pain are the most lasting poisons in the world, and they are always with me."
"The light of a flowing firefly is intermittent, and it lights up and goes out within a foot. How lonely is it?"
At this point in the play, everyone should actually understand it. Whether it is a professional who really loves kabuki performance or a girl who admires Kazama Ruri, everyone can understand that the story has come to an end, and it is the same as the beginning.
It echoes...Izanagi died, Amaterasu, Tsukiyomi and Susano'o also died, all living things on the earth were extinct, and only Izanami was left in the world.
This is...a victory for the devil.
The play "New Kojiki" staged at Kabukiza this time is too bold. To put it nicely, Ruri Kazama's adaptation of "Kojiki" this time is extremely innovative. To put it badly, the strict Japanese mythology and history have been
Tampered beyond recognition.
But what is incredible is that no one present, whether they are traditional kabuki masters, Noh actors, or journalists reporting on kabuki, criticized Ruri Kazama's performance, not even one.
There were no questions or discussions.
The venue was surprisingly quiet, with only Kazama Ruri's singing echoing between seats. Some audience members even closed their eyes, because they didn't need to look, just listened to the pure singing, and a sad woman could not help but appear in their minds.
image of.
What she was wearing was no longer a ferocious corpse shroud, but a luxurious brocade suit. Her rotten face also reproduced its world-famous glory, but she was so out of tune with everything around her. What surrounded her was the desolate atmosphere.
The dead trees, the devastated earth and the dead bones on the ground made the woman feel so sad and hesitant, and the sad song was like a huge ocean tide that drowned her.
The sadness not only overwhelmed Kazama Ruri on the stage, but also swallowed up the audience. Everyone was silent. There were even faint sobs from the crowd in the venue. Some people were attracted by the unique feeling of the woman on the stage.
I am so lonely that I can't help but feel sad and cry.
Caesar followed the source of the sound and looked intently. The first one to cry was actually the store manager Humpback Whale sitting in the front row. Big tears welled up one after another under the Humpback Whale's sunglasses. This steel rock
The ordinary man burst into tears at this moment, as shy as a bullied little lady.
The crying spread among the audience like a highly contagious virus. Some people sobbed silently, while others cried uncontrollably. The women took out handkerchiefs and tissues to cover their eyes that were streaming with tears, not even caring about their makeup.
, those traditional Kabuki masters even burst into tears one by one, and a strange atmosphere enveloped the entire Kabuki Theater.
Originally, Caesar had watched Kazama Ruri's performance and was a little touched, but the situation in the VIP room made his hair stand on end and he was not in the mood to be hurt at all.
Eriko stared blankly at the figure in the center of the stage. Tears fell from her delicate face like a spring. Her expression at the moment was as if she was lost. Even Uesugoshi couldn't stop crying. A man who is old enough to be your grandfather.
A man suddenly sheds silent tears in front of you. This scene really makes people feel indescribably weird.
"Damn it, is this guy's performance really so evil?" Caesar glanced at the tearful Uesugi Koshi and the tearful Eri, and whispered to Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang, "I admit that Kazama Ruri's acting is excellent.
Very good, I can understand that the father was so moved after watching his son's performance for the first time...but what happened to the head of the Uesugi family? Doesn't she suffer from severe emotional deficiency? How could she cry like this?"
"Maybe it's the power of the speech spirit." Chu Zihang said, "If Fengjian Liuli's speech spirit is spiritual, it can be explained."
"Kazema Ruri invisibly integrates the power of word spirit into his performance. The spirit of people radiated by his word spirit field will be in an extremely unstable state, and negative emotions will be amplified several times. Sad emotions
Once it exceeds the threshold, it will be like a flood that bursts and it is difficult to control." Chu Zihang also glanced at Uesugoshi and Eriki, "Lu Mingfei said
Master Yue's combat prowess is comparable to that of the principal, and he can have an impact on the bloodlines of Master Yue and the head of the Uesugi family. This shows that Kazama Ruri's bloodline is at least not weaker than Minamoto's."
"Another "Emperor"?" Caesar was stunned. He had been shocked to the point of numbness by these Japanese freaks. "That's not right. If Kazama Ruri's word spirit is at work, it can attack Master Yue and Uesugi."
If the head of the family has an impact, there is no reason why it won’t affect us. Our reaction will only be greater than the two of them.”
"Kazema Ruri may have used the power of words, but he didn't deliberately target anyone." Lu Mingfei shook his head, "It's precisely because the bloodlines of Master Yue and Eriyi are stronger than everyone else, so the two of them have
The reaction is so great, even stronger than that of ordinary people... because it is a resonance derived from blood."
"Blood resonance?" Caesar asked.
"Yes, you should pay attention to the robe that Fengjian Liuli is wearing. Do you feel dizzy when you stare at the Goddess characters on it?" Lu Mingfei said, "Because those characters may be engraved with real things.
History, words and history are powerful."
"It's just that the history recorded in those texts is about the white emperor, and we are not descendants of the white king, so we don't have too many feelings, we just think those texts are weird." Lu Mingfei whispered.
Said, "Whether it is the things carried by the words or today's performance by Kazama Ruri, for Master Yue and Eriki, it all comes from the memory deep in their bloodline, so it will resonate with them.
Not surprisingly."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Before everyone could recover, Kazama Ruri had quietly left the stage, and a kabuki master in kimono recovered.
Then he stood up, gave a shout of admiration to the empty stage, and then applauded vigorously.
More and more spectators applauded together, and in an instant, the applause was like thunder.
Experts and theater critics from news magazines walked onto the stage excitedly and praised without hesitation that this was the best and most touching kabuki performance they had seen in the past ten years.
An unpopular and established play has been adapted so innovatively and performed so perfectly. Master Kazama is worthy of being the top performer among the younger generation in the kabuki industry!
The flash and the camera slowly panned over the faces with tears streaming down their faces, confirming that Ruri Kazama's performance was indeed highly praised by drama critics. However, the person who created such a gloomy and gloomy atmosphere avoided the camera and had long since
Retreat behind the scenes.
In the VIP room, Uesugi Goe and Eriko finally came out of their sadness.
At the same time, the waiter in black knocked on the door of the VIP room, and the white envelope was accurately handed into Lu Mingfei's hands. Lu Mingfei opened the envelope in front of everyone, and inside was a white
Notes.
The content of the note was very simple. It was to invite Sakura-sensei to the backstage for a talk. The additional condition was that Basara King and Ukyo Tachibana must be brought along, and the signature was Kazama Ruri.
"Okay, if you have any questions about Kazama Liuli's invitation, you can ask the guy in person later. I believe he also has something to say to us." Lu Mingfei folded the note into the envelope and put it in it.
Lined pocket, "Let's go, don't keep this host waiting too long."
Caesar and Chu Zihang nodded. Of course Eriyi followed Lu Mingfei closely, but Uesugi Yue in the corner of the sofa took off his forehead tie with the words "Kazama Ming" written on it, and put Kazama Ruri's
The support fan is stuffed into the arms of the kimono.
"What's wrong, Master Yue? You're going to see Kazama Ruri soon, and you're afraid that your son will see these things, so why are you so shy?" Lu Mingfei looked at Uesugi Yue and teased.
"No, you go ahead. I'd better go back to my ramen stand first." Uesugoshi shook his head, "The ramen stand hasn't opened yet today. It's just time for those students to finish their evening studies. I won't rush back to the ramen stand.
The guests should be impatient."
Uesugoshi packed up his things and prepared to leave alone.
"Master Yue, are you afraid?" Lu Mingfei looked at Uesugi Yue's back, "I feel that I have been ashamed of my son for so many years, so I don't dare to see him?"
Uesugoshi stopped, but did not look back immediately: "You are all young people of the same generation. If there are topics among young people, you can just talk. I am like this
It would be inappropriate for an old guy to join in, and we have nothing in common, so I am more suitable to drink with an old guy like Angers."
There was a hint of sadness in the old man's words.
"Speaking of which, my father is also a bastard. Although he usually seems to be indifferent to me, whenever there is a chance, he will always shamelessly come up to me just to say a few words to me." Caesar asked.
Xiang Chu Zihang said, "There is no father in the world who doesn't want to talk to his children more, right?"
"I don't know." Chu Zihang shook his head, "But at least my father is what you said. Sometimes he will do anything just to have a few words with me."
"I don't know if my dad is a bastard, or if he wants to talk to me. We haven't seen each other for several years, and we haven't talked on the phone." Lu Mingfei shrugged, "But standing here
From the perspective of a son, I really want to talk to him a little more. After all, the only thing that everyone has from birth and remains unchanged throughout his life is his parents. I think if you, the boss and senior brother, have the opportunity, you should also
I would like to talk to your father more."
"Yes." Chu Zihang nodded and asked the man something that was once the most important meaning of his life.
"I don't really have any intention of chatting with my bastard dad, because most of his conversations with me can't get around the topic of money and women. After all, he is a bastard, but it is impossible for everyone in the world to have a bastard." Caesar
After thinking for a while, "But if he dies one day, maybe I will really want to have a few words with him."
"So, if there is a chance, the father wants to talk to his son, and the son also wants to talk to the father." Lu Mingfei said to Uesugoshi's back, "Master Yue, he has been running away for decades.
, now that the opportunity is right in front of you, do you still want to continue hiding?"
Uesugoshi took a deep breath and turned around slowly. He looked at Lu Mingfei and the others, and then at Eri Yi. Finally, he nodded lightly: "But I want to ask you one thing...
Please don't mention it until I'm ready to reveal my relationship to the kid."
…
The corridor leading to the backstage is winding. The interior of this century-old building still maintains its original appearance, and the paintings on the walls are also valuable.
Men in black suits stood at the corner of every corridor. When Lu Mingfei and others passed by, they would bend down and bow slowly. These people were all waiters and waiters from the kabuki performance just now. They were different from before.
What's more interesting is that they have now taken off the armbands and bow ties used by waiters and put on black ties, and wear black copper "Oni" badges on their chests. These badges symbolize their second family from the Japanese underworld——
Fierce ghosts.
The Snake Qihachi family miscalculated one thing. The Kukakukan is not the real headquarters of the Oni at all. It is run by Ryoma Sakurai Kogure, the third person in the Oni, even though the Kukakukan has an entire floor.
The building serves as the living room of Yuan Jingnu, the Dragon King, but Yuan Jingnu only stays there occasionally, and the number one figure, General Wang, has never appeared in the Kukakukan. The entire Kukakukan casino can only be regarded as a subordinate of the fierce ghosts at best.
A large position, and the real fierce ghosts have penetrated into every corner of Japan, they are everywhere.
This was the first time that Caesar and Chu Zihang had official contact with the fierce ghosts. Different from the rumors, these "ghosts" were not vicious and did not exude a dangerous aura. On the contrary, they were silent and restrained.
If the Snake Qiba family is a large and powerful family, then the Menggui clan is more like a religion with strict laws. The people gathered here all have a common belief. They are united because of their belief. Once the war starts,
He will immediately transform into the bravest warrior.
The end of the corridor is a black sunken wood door. The wood carvings are exquisite and noble. A ferocious ghost head is carved on the left and right sides. A woman wearing a black kimono and geisha makeup on her face is kneeling on both sides of the door, looking at Lu Mingfei.
When they came to the door, the women prostrated themselves on the ground and wiped the uppers of their shoes with expensive silk.
When they were in the corridor, Caesar and Chu Zihang had a vague guess in their minds. When they saw this door and these women, their guess was confirmed... It turns out that the entire Kabuki Theater is the property of the fierce ghosts. This
Dangerous forces are even hiding under the noses of the Sheqiba family.
The reason why the Snake Qihachi family is so dark is that Tachibana Masamune, the former patriarch, secretly provided shelter for the fierce ghosts.
"Kazema-sama, Sakura-sama is here to visit." The woman knocked on the door lightly.
