I Became a Monk in Japan and Exorcised Demons of Other’s Housewives - Chapter 32

Chapter 32: A Bunch of Charlatans!

“Help me get in, and I’ll agree to anything!”

Looking at Tanaka Saya, whose mind was clouded with anger, Lu Jin shook his head helplessly.

“I’ll seal you first, then take you in.”

Hearing this, Tanaka Saya glanced at him.

After hesitating for a moment, she thought about finally getting her revenge and nodded.

Although she disliked the feeling of being sealed, her desire for vengeance outweighed it.

With a wave of his hand, Lu Jin instantly sealed Tanaka Saya inside a vajra prayer bead.

Holding the prayer bead in his palm, Lu Jin confidently approached the main gate of the estate.

“How should I get in…?”

Seeing the heavily guarded estate, with security stationed everywhere, Lu Jin couldn’t help but frown.

The barrier could keep out demons and spirits, but it wouldn’t stop ordinary people from entering.

However, entering this estate required a proper excuse.

Forcing his way in was out of the question.

Although he was confident he could break in, he didn’t want to become a murderer and be wanted across the entire country.

So, he needed to find a way to sneak in.

“Aren’t you only able to act when the yin energy is at its peak? What’s the point of me taking you in?”

Suddenly, Lu Jin thought of something and curiously asked.

Inside the prayer bead, Tanaka Saya was observing the outside world through it. Her voice was faint.

“I don’t know either. Maybe because this was once my home, or maybe because they were the ones who killed me.”

“My instincts tell me that as long as I enter this estate, I can get my revenge.”

Hearing this, Lu Jin fell into deep thought.

Whether it was demons or vengeful spirits, they all seemed to be bound by some kind of special rule that prevented them from harming people at will.

However, this rule could be broken at specific times and locations—provided the right method was found.

As he pondered, the sound of approaching footsteps suddenly broke his thoughts.

Lu Jin looked up and saw several men dressed as bodyguards walking toward him.

Hmm?

What’s going on?

A hint of confusion flashed in Lu Jin’s eyes.

I haven’t even tried to start trouble yet, so why were these guys coming straight to me?

“Master, please come with us.”

The middle-aged man leading the group was full of respect, gesturing with his hand to invite Lu Jin into the estate.

Tsk!

Talk about a pillow being delivered when you’re sleepy.

Lu Jin raised an eyebrow. Judging by their expressions, it was clear they had mistaken him for someone else.

But he didn’t bother to correct them.

After all, this was the perfect chance to slip inside.

Following the bodyguards, he easily entered the estate.

The moment he stepped inside, he felt the prayer bead in his hand tremble slightly.

A terrifying malice surged out from within, but it was instantly suppressed by the vajra’s power inside the bead.

“You damn monk! Why won’t you let me out?”

Tanaka Saya’s voice came from inside the bead, but Lu Jin remained calm and murmured softly.

“Something’s off. Wait a little longer.”

With that, he ignored the restless Tanaka Saya.

Following the bodyguards, he was led all the way to the estate’s reception hall.

The moment he entered, multiple scrutinizing gazes locked onto him.

Lu Jin frowned slightly, scanning the hall.

Inside the spacious hall, about a dozen peculiar figures were either standing or sitting.

There were monks dressed in robes like him, Onmyoji in traditional hunting attire, and even shrine priests.

Of course, there were also a few people dressed in ordinary clothing.

Is this some kind of occult seminar?

Lu Jin mocked inwardly. If he couldn’t sense the supernatural energy among them, he would have thought this was just a gathering of frauds.

As soon as they saw that the newcomer was a monk, the scrutinizing gazes gradually withdrew.

“Amitabha!”

A Buddhist chant rang in his ears as a middle-aged monk in black robes slowly approached.

“I am Fa Jing from Jile Temple.”

“Yakushi Temple’s abbot, Lu Jin.”

Lu Jin casually returned the gesture.

There were thousands of temples in this country—if not a hundred thousand, then at least eighty or ninety thousand.

He had never heard of this so-called Jile Temple.

It was probably just an ordinary small temple.

Still, since courtesy should be met with courtesy, Lu Jin maintained a polite expression as if he had long heard of it.

After some small talk, he managed to extract some useful information from the old monk.

The owner of this estate was a wealthy businessman named Aoi Kai.

A few days ago, his son suddenly developed a strange sleepwalking condition.

Every morning when he woke up, he would inexplicably find himself in an unfamiliar hotel.

Moreover, his lower body would be in excruciating pain, as if it had been torn apart by something.

At first, they thought it was just sleepwalking.

Until one night, Aoi Kai suddenly saw a woman walking out of his son’s room.

That’s when he realized something was very wrong.

“Turning into a woman… sleepwalking…”

Lu Jin raised an eyebrow.

Something about these words combined together just seemed bizarre.

But he more or less understood the situation now.

The wealthy businessman’s son had contracted some kind of strange affliction.

At night, he would turn into a woman and go out to fool around.

By morning, he would wake up with no memory of what had happened.
