However, they had recently grown accustomed to it.
After all, who could argue when Jin Chan was the Second Buddha Ancestor, now holding a position at Mount Ling just below the Tathagata?
If the Tathagata Buddha himself didn't mind, what could they possibly say?
Just at that moment, the Tathagata Buddha paused in his sermon and reached out to grab something.
A Jade Talisman was clasped in his hand, and when he saw the contents, a smile appeared on the face of the Tathagata Buddha.
"Jin Chan,"
he called out.
Jin Chan grumbled a few times, then turned over and continued sleeping.
The face of the Tathagata Buddha darkened. After pondering for a moment, he called out, "Jin Chan, someone wants to eat Tang Sanzang's flesh."
"Who wants to eat me?"
He jolted awake and jumped to his feet, a fierce light flickering in his eyes.
All the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats looking at Jin Chan averted their gaze, not daring to make eye contact.
