<p>Yes, you can do this, even if you're not the blue monk (if, for example, you picked up the statues on different turns). From the <a href="http://rprod.com/uploads/GS_RULES_US_ver1_3-web.pdf" rel="nofollow">rulebook</a>, pages 6-7:</p>

<p>In Ghost Stories, players are Buddhist monks trying to stave off invading ghosts before yielding to their (nigh-inevitable) deaths. Each monk chooses one of two similar special abilities at the beginning of the game. The Blue Monk has the potential to make the same action twice in one turn - using a villager twice, or exorcizing ghosts twice.</p>

<p>The Buddhist Shrine, when you use it, lets you pick up a Buddha statue, which you can place on a future turn to instantly kill a ghost that arrives there. The rules seem to assume that you will only have one Buddha statue at a time, and only place one at a time, but the Blue Monk can easily pick up two statues in one turn.</p>

<p><strong>Can a Blue Monk carrying two statues place both of them on the same turn, in different ghost locations, if they're standing at a corner of the village?</strong></p>
