The poorer the place, the less sound the law is. In a country like Myanmar where a military-controlled government governs, it is too easy to accuse people. Compared to Hu Rong, Wen Cha is like an ant.
You can crush him to death with just one finger.
So Wencha did not dare to neglect Hu Rong's words at all. After spending a sum of US dollars to send away the group of soldiers with guns, Wencha summoned his ground crew and held the most tangled meeting in his life.
That is to emphasize the construction of clean business ethics and no longer allow tipping. The atmosphere at Mandalay Airport has been greatly improved in a short period of time.
Of course, Zhuang Rui and Hu Rong would not know about these things. At this moment, Zhuang Rui was sitting in a RV driven by Hu Rong, heading towards the hotel.
"Brother Hu, can't you go to the mining area today?"
Judging from Hu Rong's intention, he wanted to stay in Mandela for a day. To be honest, Zhuang Rui's schedule during this period was really tight, and he really didn't want to delay it any longer.
Hu Rong smiled and said: "Let's drive to the mining area from here tomorrow. The road is not very easy to walk. Besides, there is nothing to see at night. I will have a helicopter come over tomorrow. It won't delay much..."
"Well, Brother Hu, I wonder where your mine is?"
Zhuang Rui asked casually, but he was a little nervous. If Hu Rong's mine was far away from the treasure hiding place, Zhuang Rui would have no choice but to give up this treasure hunting trip. After all, his time was limited, and there were still many people in the country.
There are many things waiting for him.
"Well, let me point it out to you..."
As he spoke, Hu Rong took out a drawing from the car, followed the drawing with his fingers to find the direction, and finally stopped at a place and said: "It's right here. This was originally an old hole, but it was filled in decades ago.
Later, I asked someone to explore for it and found out that there were still veins of minerals, so I started mining again. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be an abandoned mine, and the losses were huge..."
"Brother Hu, this is a mountain range. Don't worry. Maybe if you dig deeper, you can see the veins..."
Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei looked at each other, with a hint of joy in their eyes. They had been comparing the map of Myanmar with the map on the digital camera for the past few days, and found that the location of the small Japanese flag was marked on the map.
In the Degang area, it is exactly where Hu Rong was referring to just now.
According to Peng Fei, it is a place with tropical jungles and mountains. The roads are very difficult to walk, and it is not particularly far from the Chinese border of Ruili, so Peng Fei has been making preparations these days. He carried it himself.
The one-meter-long large backpack contained all the equipment needed for this trip.
"Forget it, let's not mention it. I just brought you here to have fun this time. Let's do this. I'll accompany you around Mandela in the afternoon. This is where the royal palace of Myanmar used to be. There are many ancient buildings...
"
No matter in every aspect, Zhuang Rui is his honored guest, and Hu Rong will naturally not treat him lightly. After Zhuang Rui puts his things in the hotel, Hu Rong takes Zhuang Rui to the former site of the royal palace of the king of Myanmar.
, but Peng Fei unexpectedly did not go together. Instead, after Hu Rong and others left, he quietly left the hotel alone.
Along the moat of the Imperial City, Hu Rong's RV drove towards the foot of Mandalay Mountain. The Imperial City quietly faced Mandalay Mountain. This last royal palace of the Burmese dynasty, like the Forbidden City in Beijing, hid a highly developed
The vicissitudes of an agricultural country that was crushed by Western industrial civilization during the colonial era hundreds of years ago.
The first place Hu Rong took Zhuang Rui to was the Golden Palace Teak Temple, which was originally the palace of King Mindon of Myanmar. After King Mindon passed away, his successor King Xipao moved the entire building to the current place to avoid taboos.
The place was turned into a monastery. This teak building is obviously more complicated than the ordinary double-eaves temple.
Myanmar is not only rich in jade, teak is also a specialty of Myanmar. Teak is also called annatto tree, purple teak, and blood tree. There are also a few teak trees in Yunnan, my country, called purple oil wood. It is a deciduous or semi-deciduous large tree with a height of 40-50 meters, diameter at breast height 2-2.5 meters, straight trunk.
Teak is native to Myanmar, Thailand, Laos and other places. It is the main afforestation tree species in Southeast Asia and one of the most valuable timbers in the world. It is known as the "King of Woods". In Myanmar, Indonesia is known as the "National Treasure".
The teak temple is very beautiful. It looks quiet from a distance. The building has a square roof and double eaves structure. However, this building seems to be more complicated than ordinary double eaves buildings. There are many fine wood carvings on the internal and external doors, windows and walls. The entire temple is located on several
There are hundreds of thick teak pillars, and there are also teak pillars on the outside to protect it.
There are obviously far fewer tourists in Mandalay than in Yangon. Apart from Hu Rong and Zhuang Rui, it is the driver and an attendant. There are almost no tourists in the huge temple, only a few local children, who are in high school in the temple.
Running up and down the high steps.
The "gurgling" laughter of the children when they were playing penetrated the temple, was clear and loud, and echoed for a long time. That kind of childish sound could be heard in Zhuang Rui's ears, and he was in this solemn temple.
, just like Sanskrit singing, Zhuang Rui's soul, who was eager to find the treasure, actually became calm.
Hu Rong turned out to be a devout Buddhist. After entering the temple, he took off his shoes and knelt down before the Buddha statue niche at the end of the corridor. After staying in the Teak Temple for a while, Hu Rong took Zhuang Rui to Manchu Temple.
The most famous Kuthodaw Pagoda in Dele.
The Kutho Tao Pagoda is proudly called "the greatest meritorious pagoda in the world" by the Burmese people. The so-called merits are due to King Mindon convening 2,400 eminent monks from all over the Indochina Peninsula in 1857 to hold the first pagoda here.
The five revision meetings of the Buddhist scriptures were held, and the revised scriptures were finally engraved on the 729 Fang Yun stone tablet.
Outside each stone tablet, a white pagoda was built, so the entire temple is a continuous white pagoda. According to Hu Rong, if a person reads for 8 hours a day, he must read all the stone tablets under the white pagoda.
It will take at least 450 days in total.
Burmese people seem to like gold very much. There is also a golden pagoda in the middle of the Kutho Tao Pagoda. In the four directions around it, there are white pagodas as white as snow. The entire layout is basically the same in the four directions.
Symmetrical, like a continuous white square matrix.
The people here are even rarer. Zhuang Rui and others walked in this pagoda forest as white as snow without encountering any tourists. They got into a pagoda and looked at the scriptures with completely incomprehensible words.
Zhuang Rui suddenly felt the spiritual energy in his eyes, which seemed to be turbulent.
I couldn't tell what it felt like, but the golden aura in my eyes gave me a warm feeling in the white tower, as if I was surrounded by warm water. It was so comfortable that Zhuang Rui couldn't help but groan.
, even Hu Rong’s shouts outside were deliberately ignored by him.
Zhuang Rui, who was sitting quietly in the pagoda, felt the pure atmosphere that was everywhere in the pagoda. His mind seemed to be washed by a kind of belief, and he felt like he was returning to emptiness and indifference. It seemed that the world's
All the annoyance left him.
The elephant is invisible, the great love has no desire, the great virtue has no words, and the great kindness has no trace. At this time, in Zhuang Rui's heart, there is no desire or desire, and the aura in his eyes seems to be changing slightly.
"Zhuang Rui, Brother Zhuang..."
I don't know how long it took, but Zhuang Rui was finally awakened by Hu Rong's voice. After waking up, he quickly walked out.
Looking back at the pagoda, Zhuang Rui felt a little reluctant. Although the aura inside the pagoda was very weak, it made people feel very comfortable.
Raising his hand to look at his watch, Zhuang Rui couldn't help but be startled. When he first came here, it was only about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, but now it was already past 4 o'clock.
"Brother, I didn't expect that you still have Buddhist roots? You have stayed in the pagoda for a long time. Why, do you want to be a living layman? I will find a senior monk to help you convert..."
Hu Rong looked at Zhuang Rui with a strange look. Young people are always impatient to stay in such a place. He didn't expect that Zhuang Rui stayed there for more than two hours as soon as he entered. He was almost impatient to wait.
.
"No, please don't, Brother Hu, I'm not married yet..."
Zhuang Rui had just come out of that illusory state when he was shocked by Hu Rong's words. How could he become a monk and become a monk when he hadn't enjoyed this great life yet?
"Haha, it is not necessary for living Buddhists to convert and be tonsured. Marriage and childbirth are allowed. They are just pursuing a spiritual realm..."
Hu Rong laughed. He knew that Zhuang Rui was about to get engaged to his cousin. He also prepared a gift for Zhuang Rui this time, but it was just not time to take it out yet.
"Let's go, I'll take you to eat authentic Myanmar snacks, and then I'll take you to the rough stone market in Mandalay in the evening. There might be some good stuff there. Many people have collected old pit seeds for decades.
They are often sold there..."
Hu Rong looked at the sky and saw that it was getting late. He greeted Zhuang Rui and took the lead towards the mountain gate.
Zhuang Rui looked back at the white pagodas. The setting sun shone on these white pagodas, giving them a golden color, making them appear more solemn and solemn, and filled with an indescribable atmosphere.
At this time, Zhuang Rui couldn't help but feel a little strange about what happened just now. Is there really faith and the existence of gods in this world?
"Well, the distance of the spiritual energy has become farther?"
Just when Zhuang Rui withdrew his gaze, he inadvertently felt that the spiritual energy that could only be released from a distance of more than ten meters could now be sensed by the weak but special spiritual energy on the white tower thirty meters away.
The subtle lines on the White Tower can be clearly seen.
