"Excuse me, is this Gao Tianyuan?" Someone knocked on the door lightly.

The cowherds looked at the door in surprise, and saw a handsome boy standing in the thin morning light, wearing a white shirt and black suit, with cool straight hair, holding a bouquet of budding tulips in his hands.

"Excuse me, are the three teachers, Basara King, Tachibana Ukyo, and Sanzenin Sakura, here? Kazama Ruri took the liberty to come to visit." Everyone's gaze made the boy a little embarrassed, he bowed deeply, and handed over his business card with both hands.

"Kazama...Master Liuli?" Someone said in a pious voice.

Caesar, Lu Mingfei, and Chu Zihang put down the bowls and chopsticks in their hands, looked at each other, and walked off the stage.They have all heard of the name Kazama Ruri. There is a ranking list in the Cowherd Practitioners Association. Kazama Ruri has been on the top of the list for six consecutive years. , is a legend in the cowherd world.

Kansuke Fujiwara hurried over, took the pure white business card, held it high above his head, and put it back in the hands of the humpback whale.After seeing the humpback whale, he quickly straightened his bow tie and walked quickly to welcome the industry's Taishan Beidou.

"Today is Gao Tianyuan's glorious day." The humpback whale bowed deeply.

"Senior Jing's name has been admired for a long time. It's the first time we meet, please take care of me." Kazama Liuli returned the gift.

Kazama Ruri bowed deeply to Caesar, "Basara King is such a free and easy man."

He bowed to Chu Zihang again, "Mr. You Jing, although he looks like a swordsman, looks like a gentle person."

Finally, he came to Lu Mingfei, "If I guess correctly, this is Teacher Sakura."

"How do you know it's me? Have we met before?" Lu Mingfei looked suspiciously at Kazama Ruri, the boy next door who was as fresh as clear water, at first glance he looked like a high school girl in men's clothing.

"Although I haven't seen it before, I know you have lion-like eyes." Kazama Liuli smiled.

Lu Mingfei was slightly taken aback, and then he held Liuli Kazama's hand, his eyes sparkling: "Master Kazama knows the goods, only you have sharp eyes for so many years, everyone around me should go to the ophthalmologist .”

"Teacher Sakura, you have to believe in yourself, you are a sleeping lion!" Kazama Liuli warmly shook Lu Mingfei back.

"You'd better ask the lion's permission." Caesar's head was full of black lines, and he looked at Kazama Ruri, "Do you have anything to do with us?"

"I recently heard about the demeanor of the three comrades, and I really want to get to know you, so this time I invite you to watch my Kabuki performance tomorrow night." Kazama Liuli held the tulip bouquet in front of Lu Mingfei.

Inside the bouquet was a plain envelope, and inside were three invitation cards, each of which had a character drawn on it, namely Amaterasu, Tsukyomi and Susanoo, the "Three Noble Sons" in Japanese mythology.The signature on the invitation was not Kazama Liuli, but the words "Yuanzhinv".

"My real name is Yuan Zhinu, the second son of the Yuan family, and Yuan Zhisheng is my elder brother." Kazama Liuli said in a voice that only three people could hear clearly.

"No wonder you look familiar." Lu Mingfei stared at Kazama Liuli's face, "By the way, you're so pretty, aren't you really a girl?"

"Guess?" Feng Jian Liuli smiled like a lily-of-the-valley with a clean and delicate fragrance, but her eyes were like two dark pools, clear and transparent on the surface, but actually bottomless.

"Then I will take my leave for the time being. I look forward to our reunion in the performance." Kazama Ruri raised her voice and bowed deeply to say goodbye.The black Rolls-Royce slid silently to the door, carrying Feng Jian Liuli away.

"It seems that we have been completely involved in the disputes of the Japanese underworld this time." Lu Mingfei turned over the envelope containing the invitation, and there was a small seal on the corner of the envelope. The seal consisted of a freehand dragon and A Chinese word for "ghost", which is the emblem of the mysterious organization "Mengguizhong", the sworn enemy of the Bajia of Sheqi.

"Since Kazama Liuli dares to visit alone, we dare to attend his appointment." Caesar said with a strong sense of gunpowder.Who let the Genji brothers deceive others too much!The elder brother is a super hybrid who is more powerful than him, and the younger brother is a legendary cowherd who is more charming than him. He was hit continuously for 24 hours, and Master Gattuso's fighting spirit was completely aroused.

The next day and night, Ginza, Kabukiza.

This is a kabuki theater with a history of over a hundred years. The newcomer on stage tonight is named Kazama Ruri, and the repertoire is "New Chronicles of Koji".

Caesar, Chu Zihang, and Lu Mingfei were sitting in a private room on the second floor. All three of them were wearing formal color-patterned hakama, mounted on a plain-colored snow pack, and held white paper folding fans.They came with invitations from Kazama Ruri, they were the VIPs among the VIPs, enjoying the royal treatment, there would be waiters waiting for them to change their clothes when they entered the venue, and then they would be ushered into the box with the best location.Lu Mingfei looked around with a telescope, and found that the seats were full of well-dressed young women, some of whom were familiar faces of Gao Tianyuan.Kazama Ruri is indeed the leading master in the Cowherd world. In order to watch his performance, many girls who have no interest in traditional arts flock here.

"Have you ever seen a Kabuki performance before?" Chu Zihang asked in a low voice.

"I saw one in New York. It was a reception for the Japanese Consulate, and the actors were as white as dead," Caesar whispered.

"You only remember this?" Chu Zihang was speechless.

Caesar thought for a while: "And the girl who accompanied me to the show that day wore a nude evening dress with rhinestones on her waist, and her slender waist is very eye-catching when she walks."

Chu Zihang frowned: "That means you can't understand Kabuki performances, right?"

"Don't worry, brother, the Japanese can't understand it themselves." Lu Mingfei put down his binoculars, "Japanese Kabuki is like Chinese Peking Opera. Because it is the quintessence of the country, the libretto contains a lot of ancient Chinese. Modern people just watch it for fun. Most of them don't understand the libretto."

"The translation screen above the stage, let's just look at that." Caesar pointed forward, "The waiter told me just now that Master Kazama Ruri specially requested to install it."

"It seems that Ruri Kazama really wants us to understand his performance." Chu Zihang nodded, "Mingfei, you have studied Japanese history, what is "New Edition of Kojiki" about?"

""Ancient Matters" is Japan's first literary work, which includes ancient Japanese myths, legends and historical stories." Lu Mingfei shook his folding fan lightly and said with a smile, "If you want to know which part it is about, you must Look at Master Kazama's appearance at the beginning."

At this time, the lights went out, and someone knocked on the cherry wood snare drum. The sound of the drum was hoarse and low, like ghosts whispering in the distant ancient times.The curtain opened, and a plain white woman stood quietly in the center of the stage, with long black hair hanging loose.

"All happiness in the world is a fleeting epiphyllum in the shadow of the moon; only loneliness and pain are always accompanied in the depths of the underworld." The woman sang a cappella, slowly raised her head, her face was as pale as paper, only the corners of her eyes were blood red.

"Kazama Ruri?" Caesar was surprised.

"It's him. He is playing the role of Izanami, the goddess of the underworld." Lu Mingfei was observing the woman on the platform through a telescope. The beautiful girl is wrapped in tulle, which makes people's hearts flutter.

At this time, the translation screen above the stage shows the background information of this play. This newly written mythological play is about the divine marriage between the father god Izanaki and the mother god Izanami, the birth of the gods, the death of Izanami, and The story of the rivalry between God the Father and God the Mother.

The singing reverberates around, and as long as you close your eyes, you can imagine Ruri Kazama as a sad woman, she is wearing a colorful shroud and dancing in hell, surrounded by only dead bones.The audience was as silent as death, and several kabuki appreciators shed tears silently.During the intermission, there was no noise in the lounge, everyone was immersed in the performance just now, some were lost, some whispered.

"The resentment was so deep later, it was only because we met so beautifully at the beginning." Chu Zihang commented softly, and looked around, "Caesar, you are trembling."

"The air conditioner here is a bit high." Caesar rubbed his arms, recalling the scene of Izanami crying in Huangquan Kingdom.Kazama Ruri is as beautiful as a girl, so she wouldn't be too surprised to play a female role as Caesar, but seeing a woman's sexiness in a man makes him feel creepy.

"I think he was captured by Master Kazama's feminine charm." Lu Mingfei teased Caesar, putting his arm on Chu Zihang's shoulder.

"Really, why didn't I feel it?" Chu Zihang tilted his head and looked at Caesar, puzzled, "I think Mingfei looks better in cheongsam than him."

"How can you still feel it even when you are bent!" Caesar complained fiercely.

Lu Mingfei's cheongsam and Kazama Liuli's women's clothing are basically two concepts.Lu Mingfei himself has nothing to do with yinrou at all, he can get away with it because he is still young, and his body has a kind of youthful innocence and innocence. In three to five years, he will definitely be a gangster.But Kazama Liuli has long since grown up, and he can pretend to be a fake mother without any sense of disobedience. In addition to innate factors, there is also the result of hard work and hard work the day after tomorrow.

"These kabuki actors who play 'female form' imitate women's demeanor and behavior since they were young. They are the embodiment of art and 'beauty'. They are more feminine than women in real life, so you really don't have to show that kind of blueness, boss." The expression on the temple's face." Lu Mingfei comforted.

"I can't understand the aesthetics of the Japanese. They will only cause cognitive impairment and gender inversion." Caesar shook his head and said to Lu Mingfei, "Now it seems that your cheongsam is still eye-catching. One light."

"The women's clothes of both of them are very gorgeous, but Mingfei is bright, and Kazema Liuli is coquettish. They are not of the same type." Chu Zihang commented seriously.

"If seniors wear women's clothing, it's the third type, cool and gorgeous." Lu Mingfei complained.

"Plus the tortoise, he is Ai Yan." Caesar never forgot to show off his Chinese vocabulary.

"Boss, are you trying to put together a mahjong table? Unfortunately, that word is not used to describe people." Lu Mingfei corrected him, and raised the binoculars again, "The second half has begun."

The second act tells the story of Susanoo's feat of killing Yamata no Orochi.This time, Kazama Ruri played the role of Yamata no Orochi. He wore a scaly robe over plain clothes. His dancing posture was exactly the same as when he played Izanami, but there was no libretto.

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and the performance in the second half was really too weird. The battle of snake slaughter was supposed to be a fierce confrontation, but what the audience saw was a dance between women and men.Susanoo's sharp sword repeatedly slashed at Fuwen Ruri's body, and the bright red dye flowed along the scales.In the end, Kazama Ruri fell to the center of the stage, and Susanoo held up the sky feather and cut it, piercing his heart.Cold fireworks erupted from all sides of the stage. In the fire tree and silver flower, Susanoo tore off the colorful robe covered by the glass of Kazama, revealing a bloody woman. She lay quietly in the light in the center of the stage, like a falling maple leaf .

"It turns out that the meaning of the new edition is here." Lu Mingfei said amidst thunderous applause, "Baqi Orochi was originally a water monster that harmed the world in Japanese mythology, but here it is the incarnation of Izanami. Izanami Mei returned to the world in the body of a snake to avenge her husband, and Susano ended her path of revenge."

"Kazama Liuli specially asked us to watch such an adaptation, what's the point?" Chu Zihang lowered his eyebrows in thought.

"I don't know, but it is certain that he has a purpose."

Before Lu Mingfei finished speaking, the waiter sent a white envelope into the box. Inside the envelope was a special invitation card, inviting three people to visit the backstage.

Caesar's team was led into a bright Japanese-style room by the waiter. There was a lot of people outside the window, and the audience was still applauding this exciting performance.Kazama Ruri was wearing a scarlet robe and was taking off her makeup in front of the mirror.The makeup on the left side of his face has been removed, and the person in the mirror is between a plain white boy and a pale girl, with a distorted and thrilling beauty.

"Please sit down for a while, let me take off my makeup before chatting with the three of you." Kazama Ruri said without turning her head, unlike ordinary Japanese.

"Are you really Yuan Zhisheng's younger brother?" Caesar looked at the face in the mirror.

Kazama Liuli fiddled with her hair a few times, then turned around: "Does this look like my brother?"

"More like brother and sister," Caesar said.

"My brother also said the same when I was young, saying that I would be beautiful if I was a girl." Kazama Liuli smiled.

"What should we think of you? The younger brother of Yuan Zhisheng? The leader of the fierce ghosts? Or a genius Kabuki actor? Or the number one cowherd in Japan?" Chu Zihang asked.

"These are all my identities, but my identity in the ghost crowd is what you two are most interested in?" Kazama Liuli bit her comb and tied her hair, smiling very relaxedly, "A senior cadre in the ghost crowd They are all code-named after shogi pieces, and mine is 'Dragon King', second only to 'Wang Jiang'."

"Are you a ghost?" Chu Zihang asked.

Kazama Liuli nodded: "Yes, although we are brothers, but my brother is an emperor and I am a ghost, I am not only not as noble as him, but also the most humble kind. If you didn't meet under such circumstances, you would definitely think about it. Find a way to arrest me and imprison me on a certain uninhabited island. According to the Secret Party's "Abraham Blood Deed", I am the kind of dangerous element that should be isolated from human society by birth."

"Then you still come to us? Although the college has conflicts with the Eight Snake Qi Clans, it will not turn to cooperate with the Ghost Clan because of this." Chu Zihang said.

Kazama Ruri smiled and changed the subject: "Do you like my performance tonight?"

"I like it, but I don't know what's the deep meaning in it?" Lu Mingfei sat on the tatami and looked at Kazama Liuli with his chin in his hand.

"This is the first big gift I want to give you, the interpretation of the murals of Genji Heavy Industries." Kazama Ruri picked up a slender ebony pipe inlaid with silver, and filled it with shredded tobacco. The pattern of the skeleton and the human formed the shape of Pisces, and the skeleton handed over a bone to the human."

"I remember. That painting is very special, and it is impossible for people who have seen it to not be impressed." Chu Zihang said.

"The skeleton represents the dead White King. In Japanese mythology, it is the great mother goddess Izanami, while humans represent Izanagi, the ancestor of the White King's blood. The White King removed a bone from his body and gave it to Izanami. Xanaqi, the bone in Sheqi Bajia's family is called the 'holy skeleton'." Kazama Ruri lit the pipe and took a deep breath, exhaling the curling white smoke.

"So the sleeping god in Gaotianyuan is just a piece of dry bone, which sounds pretty funny." Lu Mingfei heheed twice, "What happened to that piece of 'sacred skeleton'? Did you grind it up and eat it?"

"Do you think Sheqi Bajia is a dog?" Caesar raised his eyebrows.

"That bone contains the genes of the White King, so it might taste extra delicious." Lu Mingfei stroked his chin and looked at Caesar, "I remember the principal told me that your Gattuso family has always coveted Constance. Ding's skeleton, I hope to burn it into ribs and eat it."

"The principal can't mislead the children like this." Caesar supported his forehead, "But the old gang of the family can really do things like braised keel."

"So the Gattuso family is also a dog." Lu Mingfei smiled like a little devil.

Caesar was at a loss for words, and finally realized that he had been tricked.He looked around, Kazama Liuli covered her mouth and turned her head and shoulders away and kept trembling, Chu Zihang's face twitched and he was obviously suppressing a smile, and the instigator, he lay on the tatami and laughed loudly.

Lu Ming is not your uncle!Caesar gritted his teeth with hatred, and silently greeted the eight generations of ancestors of Lao Lu's family.
