The Great Master of Gensokyo

The Great Master of Gensokyo

【brief introduction】

Through time travel, Saigyouji Hanyu finds himself transported to the Heian period, a thousand years in the past.

The dog demons of the western lands have just risen to prominence, the tanuki of the four lands are beginning to emerge, the flower demons of Izumo are dominating Tono, and the onmyoji of Heian-kyo are determined to overthrow both the yin and yang worlds…

Her father was a sorcerer who sealed away the Saigyou Ayakashi, her younger sister was Saigyouji Yuyuko, she had a cheap teacher named Kamo no Tadayuki, and her senior brother was the Onmyoji Abe no Seimei.

In order to seal away the Saigyou Ayakashi, Saigyouji Habu, who originally only wanted to live a peaceful life, embarked on the path of becoming an Onmyoji, but his life gradually began to fall apart...

This is the story of an Onmyoji who encounters Gensokyo and a young girl.

① Peace Story

Chapter 1 Saigyouji Hanyu

The once-famous Saigyouji family has now fallen into decline.

In the generation of Saigyouji Shōjin, no one entered the imperial court to serve as an official. The main family had only one daughter, while the branch family became minor nobles relying on the legacy of their ancestors.

These things seem unbelievable, but they are absolutely true.

In order to ensure the continuation of the Saigyouji family, Saigyouji Shōjin chose Saigyouji Hayu, whose parents had died when he was young after the family split up, to become his adopted son.

This is the origin of our protagonist, Saigyouji Hanyu.

At Saigyouji's home, Saigyouji Hanyu's expression was somewhat complicated.

"It's like a dream." He never imagined he would time travel. Three months ago, he awakened his memories of his past life and realized where he was.

He is Yuyuko Saigyouji's sworn brother and an adopted son of the Saigyouji family. His father is the famous "Poet Saint" Saigyouji Shojin.

He was given the title of "Poet Saint" because Saigyouji Shonin helped the great Onmyoji Kamo no Tadayuki seal the legendary Saigyou Demon Tree through his own "songs".

"It's a little different from what I knew, but not by much." Saigyouji Yuusuke sighed softly, thinking of the terror of the Saigyou Ayakashi.

The Saigyou Ayakashi has the ability to induce death, and many humans have died because of it.

His father, Saigyouji Shojin, went through great lengths to seal away the Saigyou Ayakashi, but the price was that Saigyouji Shojin's body aged more and more, his own family was cursed, and his only daughter was unable to come into contact with humans freely because she had acquired the Saigyou Ayakashi's eerie ability that tempted death.

He didn't know how to evaluate Saigyouji Shonin's actions. All that was gained in return for such a price was praise for Saigyouji Shonin's achievements.

However, the family's status has been weakened, and the only daughter is unable to come into contact with any humans due to the curse of the Saigyou Ayakashi.

This made Saigyouji Hanyu, who had regained his memories, feel quite sorry for that little sister.

"If I had the power, I might be able to help Yuyuko." Saigyouji Hanyu's feelings were very complicated.

...

She lived not far from Saigyouji Hanyu's residence.

The only cherry blossom tree that exists is the legendary Saigyou Demon Tree, but that cherry blossom tree can never bloom, because the blooming of the Saigyou Demon brings death.

Thinking of the future death of Saigyouji Shojin and the loneliness and helplessness of Saigyouji Yuyuko, Saigyouji Hanyu felt that he still had to do something.

“I remember my father’s friend is arriving soon; this should be an opportunity.” For Saigyouji Hanyu, it was an opportunity to gain supernatural powers.

The pensive Saigyouji Hanyu was quickly pulled back to reality by Konpaku Youki.

"Young Master, Master is still waiting for you." Surprised that Saigyouji Yuusuke would come near Yuyuko, the spirit you asked, "Young Master, are you still worried about Miss?"

“Because she is my sister,” Saigyouji Yuzuru said calmly, turning away with mixed feelings. “Let’s go, don’t keep Father waiting too long.”

"Yes." Soul Phantom Youki followed in Saigyouji Yuusuke's footsteps, feeling a pang of heartache.

Who could have prevented the curse bestowed upon Saigyou-you by the heavens? Even the saints of Saigyouji were powerless to change it, and even if Konpaku-youki knew the reason, he could only watch helplessly.

From a young age, Saigyouji Yuyuko learned to live independently.

Because of the curse of the Saigyou demon, it is impossible for the Saigyouji family to have any direct descendants.

Otherwise, Saigyouji Hanyu would not have been adopted to inherit the Saigyouji family.

"Speaking of which, is there any way to resolve Yuyuko's physical condition?" Saigyouji Habu asked Konpaku Youki.

"There is no other way." The shallow-minded Soul Demon couldn't offer any suggestions either.

"I understand." He nodded gently, his resolve strengthened.

Although his father was a Buddhist monk, he did not teach him magic, seemingly hoping that Saigyouji Hayu would choose for himself when he turned fifteen.

Saigyouji Hanyu had already turned fifteen.

"It's just a pity that Yuyuko has to stay in this courtyard all the time."

The culprit behind all of this is that despicable Journey to the West demon.

"I'm glad you understand," said Soul Phantom, leading the way for Saigyouji Yuusuke.

"Is that the great Onmyoji who has arrived?"

"That's right, it's that great Onmyoji."

Through the words of the spirit demon, Saigyouji Habu understood who he was to meet this time.

Therefore, he set his goal to become a true master of Yin and Yang.

This was a viable method for him to obtain supernatural powers. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to acquire power through any other means in Japan.

...

In the reception room.

The Sage of Saigyouji was sitting in the head seat.

"Father." Saigyouji Yuusuke greeted Saigyouji Shojin with a nod, then looked at him with a hint of worry, noting that his complexion was somewhat worse than usual.

He could tell that Saigyouji Shonin's days were numbered.

"Sit down, Yuzuru." Saigyouji Shojin nodded, and had Konpaku Youki lead Saigyouji Yuzuru to sit down.

The guest had already taken his seat; the man was none other than the visiting Onmyoji, Kamo no Tadashi.

Both being the teachers of the great Onmyoji Abe no Seimei, even the remote village of Saigyouji Habu knew the legends surrounding the two master and disciple.

"Your adopted son? It's been so long, he's grown so much." Kamo no Tadayuki remarked, his gaze falling on Saigyouji Hanyu.

“The time has come; it’s time to come into contact with those things.” Saigyouji Shojin smiled and said to Saigyouji Hanyu, “Greetings to Lord Kamo.”

"Greetings, Lord Kamo." Saigyouji Yuusuke said calmly, but inwardly he admired the old man's magnanimity.

He sat down without speaking, simply observing the conversation between Kamo no Tadayuki and Saigyouji Shonin.

Kamo no Tadayuki, a man who nurtured the great Onmyōji Abe no Seimei, was over ninety years old.

His disciple, Abe no Seimei, created many legends and achievements, and was trusted by the Emperor of Japan, who granted him great privileges.

This privilege contributed to the rise of Yin-Yang Dao.

“He is already fifteen years old. I invited you here today to ask you if he has the talent to become an Onmyoji.” Saigyouji Shojin said gently at this moment.

As a father, Saigyouji Shonin had to consider the future of his children.

Yuyuko will never be able to live a normal human life again. Saigyouji Sage hopes that Saigyouji Habu will have the ability to take care of Saigyouji Yuyuko. However, as Saigyouji Sage ages, the seal on the Saigyou Ayakashi weakens more and more.

If the ability were to go berserk, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Become an Onmyoji?!" Saigyouji Yuusuke, who had just been muttering to himself, never expected his father to pull such a stunt.

"Do you want him to maintain the seal on the Saigyou Ayakashi after your death and protect your only daughter?" Kamo no Tadayuki sighed softly. "Becoming an Onmyoji is not an easy job."

"I will promise you that if he has talent, I will take him as my disciple."

If it weren't for him, Saigyouji Shonin wouldn't have ended up like this, so Kamo no Tadayuki felt guilty.

Saigyouji Shonin was an old friend of Kamo Tadayuki, and Saigyouji Shonin paid a considerable price for helping Kamo Tadayuki.

"His talent for 'seeing ghosts' will surpass anyone else's." Saigyouji Shojin smiled, his expression showing considerable anticipation for Saigyouji Hanyu.

Chapter Two: Only by Seeing Ghosts

"What do I need to do?"

He had heard rumors about Onmyoji and was quite looking forward to it.

He knew one thing: in a world where demons truly exist, the only way to survive by mastering genuine supernatural means was to become an Onmyoji.

"Watch me, and don't move no matter what I do," Kamo no Tadayuki said to Saigyouji Hanyu in a serious tone, so Saigyouji Hanyu didn't dare to make any move.

The moment to witness a miracle had arrived; a blue glow gradually appeared on the old Yin-Yang Master's body.

My index finger touched my forehead, and a mysterious power gathered.

“This is…” Saigyouji Hanyu, who was confused, immediately realized that something was wrong.

The burgeoning power within him was thus activated.

"Impossible?!" Kamo no Tadayuki was stunned, unable to believe his senses that Saigyouji Hanyu's body actually harbored such great potential.

His spiritual energy quality is simply too high.

Even if one is not an Onmyoji, one can still be an excellent priest.

He possessed extraordinary spiritual power, much like Kamo no Tadayuki's first disciple.

This spiritual power was not originally activated. Activating it means that Saigyouji Yuusuke's path of cultivation has been opened, and his ability to 'see ghosts' as an Onmyoji has also been unlocked.

For Onmyoji, 'seeing ghosts' is the most important thing.

There are intangible and tangible things in the world, and most monsters are intangible. To have the power to eliminate monsters, the ability to 'see ghosts' is especially important for Onmyoji.

"How is it, Tadashi?" Saigyouji Shojin looked at Kamo Tadashi, he had never seen his old friend so surprised.

"Hanyu's talent is truly outstanding. Even if he doesn't become an Onmyoji, he could still become a qualified priest." Kamo Tadashi sighed and looked at Saigyouji Hanyu in front of him. "Would you be willing to train with me in Onmyoji arts?"

In this era, Yin-Yang techniques are passed down from master to apprentice.

Becoming an Onmyoji means gaining a place among nobles and local lords.

The so-called Onmyoji are people of extremely high status.

"I'm willing!" He certainly wouldn't refuse, after all, the other party was Kamo no Tadayuki, who had taught the great Onmyoji Abe no Seimei.

His current goal is to learn Kamo no Tadashi's Yin-Yang techniques.

If Kamo no Tadayuki truly mastered Onmyōdō, Saigōji Hazuru might be able to deal with the Saigō Ayakashi.

"However, how come I didn't know I possessed such outstanding Onmyoji talent?" Saigyouji Yuusuke thought to himself, wishing he had a cheat code at this moment.

Unexpectedly, he quickly arrived at the simplified Chinese text prompt box in front of him.

"Spiritual power activation successful. Your Onmyoji talent 'Seeing Ghosts' can now be unlocked. Your Onmyoji system is now officially activated."

"You're not dreaming, are you?" Saigyouji Yuzuru's belated cheat code finally came online.

If I'm not mistaken, it's a mobile game that transformed into this.

As expected, Saigyouji Hanyu soon saw the familiar Onmyo-ryo (Bureau of Yin and Yang), and the summoning of the Onmyoji appeared.

Within the Onmyo-ryo (Yin-Yang Bureau), there are also the shikigami of Saigyouji Hanyu, and the only SSR shikigami, Aoandon.

For Saigyouji Hanyu, these shikigami in the Onmyōryō will become his greatest reliance.

With the power of these shikigami, no great demon can be defeated.

However, Saigyouji Hanyu is not currently able to summon all of these shikigami.

"Are you saying that Yuzuru has the talent to become an Onmyoji?" Saigyouji Shojin was thrilled; he had waited too long.

Whether it was Yuyuko's curse or Saigyouji Hanyu's serious illness, Saigyouji Shojin was quite worried.

He was worried that the two of them wouldn't be able to take care of him after he died, but now Saigyouji Shonin doesn't have to worry anymore, because the Saigyouji family has the protection of the Great Onmyoji.

Saigyouji Hanyu became a disciple of Kamo no Tadayuki.

“Quite outstanding.” The old Onmyoji nodded; he genuinely suspected that Saigyouji Hanyu had demon blood.

How could a human possibly possess such a monster?
