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

Chapter 27: Will This Guy Seek Repayment for the Favor?

The fundamental principle of this cultivation method lies in using desire to suppress desire. But how can one quell desire without having any?

Thus, the first step is to amplify one’s desires several times, or even dozens of times beyond the normal level.

Only under such circumstances can one truly comprehend the realms of restraint and detachment from desire, achieving a state that transcends the mundane and approaches that of the Buddha.

Moreover, the higher the level of cultivation, the more terrifying the desires one will encounter.

To the extent that even the slightest trace of lust could transform into an overwhelming tidal wave.

So, it’s not that he lacks self-control—it’s just that the side effects of this cultivation method are too strong.

Without reaching the necessary realm, suppressing such overwhelming desires is as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

Since suppression is impossible, I can only find a way to resolve it.

After all, I can’t just take the female devotees visiting the temple and vent my Buddhist philosophies on them, right?

Well… not that it would be entirely impossible.

But then again, he wasn’t sure if he’d find the right devotee willing to engage in such ‘discussions’ of Buddhist teachings.

There was Kurosaki Masako before and Tanaka Saya now.

His tastes had already become refined.

Ordinary women no longer interested him.

Unless… he found a suitable woman and kept her within the temple.

However, where could he find such a woman on short notice? And even if he did, it wasn’t guaranteed that she’d be willing to stay in the temple forever.

After all, not everyone would be willing to become a caged bird, let alone one specifically raised to receive Buddhist teachings.

Kurosaki Masako was somewhat suitable, and she might even be willing to go along with it.

But given his current condition, a mere one or two women wouldn’t be enough to solve his problem.

That’s why he needed Tanaka Saya.

She might be a monster, but that was precisely what he wanted.

Monsters had their own advantages—no matter how much they were used, they wouldn’t break.

That was an advantage no ordinary human could compare to.

To purify her resentment, the best way was, of course, to help her release her pent-up grudge.

Revenge!

When a person dies, their existence fades like an extinguished lamp, and all karmic ties are severed.

As long as the people who had caused her death received their due retribution, Tanaka Saya’s resentment would naturally dissipate.

Besides, those people were all wicked criminals steeped in sin.

Killing them would simply be ridding the world of a few pieces of trash.

It could even be considered an act of merit.

“You want to help me?”

Upon hearing this, Tanaka Saya’s eyes flickered, and the thick resentment in them faded slightly. She looked at Lu Jin with disbelief.

She never expected that this depraved monk would actually want to help her seek revenge.

Killing is one of the greatest taboos in Buddhism.

Yet this damned monk is willing to break this precept for her?

Is it worth it?

“The Buddha is compassionate. If I do not enter hell, who will? If this humble monk can help you relinquish your obsession and attain enlightenment, then what is the harm in abandoning these years of Buddhist cultivation?”

Lu Jin pressed his palms together and softly chanted a Buddhist verse.

His face carried a sanctimonious expression, successfully deceiving the simple-minded woman before him.

Tanaka Saya’s eyes wavered. After a moment of silence, she snorted coldly and turned her head away.

“Hmph, you damned monk. Don’t think I’ll forgive you just because you said that.”

Her words were defiant, but the resentment in her gaze softened involuntarily.

Deep down, she started to believe that perhaps this damned monk had only been practicing Buddhist teachings with her earlier, rather than simply taking advantage of her out of lust.

After all, a monk with such deep enlightenment couldn’t possibly be consumed by such shallow desires.

However, that didn’t mean she would forgive him.

After all, he had taken away something she had treasured for so many years—the most precious thing she had.

Even if… she had somewhat indulged in and enjoyed that newfound experience.

But that didn’t mean she couldn’t be angry.

After maintaining a cold and distant demeanor for a while, her tone softened slightly.

“As for revenge, you don’t have to dirty your hands, damned monk. As long as you can get me inside, I’ll take care of the rest myself.”

As she thought of the wretched couple who had caused her demise, a thick wave of resentment surged from Tanaka Saya’s body.

“Take you inside?”

Lu Jin frowned.

“That’s right. Take me inside.”

Tanaka Saya nodded.

She knew where her former home was, but she couldn’t enter it.

Every time she tried, a strange force would block her way.

Under normal circumstances, she was unable to harm ordinary people.

Only under specific times and conditions could she do so.

That’s why she needed Lu Jin to take her back to her former home.

Only then could she personally exact her revenge.

“All right.”

Lu Jin nodded.

This task isn’t difficult—far easier than committing murder.

Seeing him agree, Tanaka Saya couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She had threatened others who could see her before, demanding they take her back, but none had been able to do so.

If it was this damned monk, perhaps he could pull it off.

After all, he was the first one who had been able to subdue her.

As long as she could get her revenge, no matter how much this damned monk took advantage of her, she could endure it.

Tanaka Saya’s cheeks flushed slightly as she recalled their previous wild encounter.

She couldn’t help but wonder if this monk would take advantage of the situation to make her do something strange again…
