Chapter 34

Myanmar is an extremely contradictory Buddhist country, a combination of two extremes.So far, some areas of Myanmar are still under the control of the army, in the midst of war, and not open to the outside world.But at the same time, almost all the people in Myanmar believe in Buddhism and are extremely religious, which also makes ordinary Myanmar citizens very simple and kind.

Meng Lijun found out that Mr. Zheng and his party will take the flight this afternoon to Kunming, and transfer from Kunming to Yangon, the capital of Myanmar. So the four of them took the flight from Hong Kong to Yangon, and tried not to run into Mr. Zheng and his party. .

It was evening when we arrived in Yangon, and the afterglow was still lingering in the air.The hotel driver drove the four of them from the airport to the hotel. Along the way, the driver was quite curious about Ming Hua.

Monks have a high status in Myanmar, and all boys are sent to monasteries to practice at the age of five.On that day, the family will hold a grand ceremony, put blush on the little boy, put on heavy makeup, and take the little boy on a parade.At first glance, it looks like a little girl is getting married, but in fact, it is a little boy who has become a monk.These young novice monks can choose to return to secular life when they are 12 years old, or they can choose to stay in the monastery.So the driver who drove Meng Lijun and the others also stayed in the monastery.

The official language of Myanmar is Burmese. Although the local area is generally relatively backward, people related to the tourism industry can still speak some English.Needless to say, Meng Lijun, the English of Yanda's doctoral admissions examination is notoriously abnormal, so his English level is naturally no problem.And Minghua, as a representative of the Buddhist circle, often communicates with the outside world, and naturally speaks English very fluently.As for the supervisor and Jia Sui, although they have not spoken, it is obvious that they can fully understand what the other party is saying, and there must be no problem in communicating.

While waiting at the red light, the driver kept peeking at Minghua from the rearview mirror, but Minghua didn't mind, so he let the driver watch.Finally the driver couldn't bear it anymore and asked in broken English, "Where are you a monk from?"

"China."

"Ah, China." The driver nodded, "Your cassock is very special."

"It's really different from Myanmar."

Myanmar is a tropical country with a relatively high temperature. The monks don't wear monk's robes, but a whole piece of dark red cassock.Walking on the streets of Myanmar, there are monks with bare feet and half of their arms exposed.

"What are you doing in Myanmar, tourism?"

"Yes." Minghua replied without further words.

"It's a pity. Yesterday we held a grand ceremony to take out the Buddha's tooth from the Shwedagon Pagoda. If you had come a day earlier, you would have been able to see the ceremony."

Ming Hua and Meng Lijun glanced at each other, followed the driver's words and asked, "Why did you take the tooth of the Buddha out of the Shwedagon Pagoda?"

"The day after tomorrow our Buddha tooth will be handed over to you for exhibition in China." The driver said proudly.

"Where is the tooth of the Buddha stored now?"

"National Museum."

Meng Lijun suddenly had a bad feeling.The tooth of the Buddha is stored in the Ruiguang Shwedagon Pagoda, and no one dares to touch it.But if the tooth of the Buddha is taken out from the Shwedagon Pagoda, then others will have a chance to get close.If people from the Confucian world stole the tooth before it was handed over, then Mr. Zheng and the others could take it away without anyone noticing it, and they don't have to return it.

Minghua seemed to have thought of this too, and asked the driver to speed up and rush to the hotel.

The H Hotel where the four stayed was less than two kilometers away from the Shwedagon Pagoda, and only a few hundred meters away from the V Hotel where Mr. Zheng and the others stayed.According to Minghua's inquiring information, only Teacher Zheng and Associate Professor Zhao came to Yanda this time. Besides the two of them, several people from the Institute of Buddhist Culture also came.

Ming Hua asked Jian Bing and Jia Sui to stay at the V Hotel to observe the movements of Mr. Zheng and the others, while he and Meng Lijun came to the National Museum of Myanmar.

Yangon is the most prosperous city in Myanmar, but compared with China, it is still much worse than ordinary third-tier cities.Myanmar was once a Japanese colony, and the shadow of Japan can be seen everywhere in the city.The small train around the city of Yangon is directly the JR tram that was eliminated in Japan, and 90.00% of the cars running on the street are Nissan cars.

The National Museum of Myanmar is located not far from the Shwedagon Pagoda and is a five-story building.Minghua and Meng Lijun stood on the street not far from the museum. There were no street lights on the street, and they hid their figures in the night.

It was after nine o'clock in the evening, and apart from the occasional passing vehicles, the opposite museum was also in total darkness, with only a little light at the place where the two guards were standing at the entrance.

"It won't be just two people guarding the whole museum." Meng Lijun whispered with some concern.Burmese people are simple and devout to Buddhism, and they certainly would not have thought that someone would steal the tooth relic of the Buddha's tooth.

In fact, the relics are placed in the Ruiguang Shwedagon Pagoda is not so heavily guarded, but the Ruiguang Shwedagon Pagoda is a holy place, just like Gang Rinpoche, no matter what kind of ghosts and ghosts, there is a sense of awe.But after the tooth relic of the Buddha tooth is placed in the museum, it seems to take off the sacred coat and become an ordinary exhibit.It may be the same for the Burmese people, but it is not the same for those with ulterior motives.

Meng Lijun stretched his head to look around the museum, and found that Minghua ignored him, so he glanced at Minghua, only to see that Minghua was closing his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Do you think they will hire some mercenaries to grab the tooth of the Buddha? There is a lot of trouble in Sri Lanka."

After Meng Lijun finished speaking, he found it strange that Minghua still ignored him, so he poked Minghua's face with his finger.

"Master, are you asleep?"

Minghua still didn't respond, Meng Lijun stretched out his hands and pinched Minghua's cheeks on both sides, pouting his mouth.

Looking at Minghua's expression, Meng Lijun found it very interesting, and for a while he lost himself in the game.But happiness is always short-lived. After a while, Ming Hua opened his eyes, looked at Meng Lijun who was making a funny face on his face, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Naughty?"

Meng Lijun quickly withdrew his hand, looked to the other side of the road, and pretended nothing happened.

"I went in and looked at it just now. There are still two guards patrolling inside, but there is no one else."

"Eh? When did you go in?" Meng Lijun turned his head and looked at Minghua curiously.

"Just now, when you pinched my face."

"Ahem." Meng Lijun coughed unnaturally twice, it turned out to be a skill he didn't know. "Teach me next time."

"Once you have the Sambhogakaya, it will happen naturally." After Minghua explained, he added: "The Buddha tooth relic should be locked in the curator's office."

"Can't you come to fetch objects from a distance and just take out the relics?" Meng Lijun remembered that the supervisor could manipulate objects not far away, and he fought with the supervisor because of the fruit flying around in the air knife.

"Even if you want to take it, it is limited to the situation where you know the details and specific location of the object." Minghua is like a teacher, telling Meng Lijun the rules bit by bit, "If you can't see it, or don't know where it is, you don't know where it is. There is a way to get it, you can try it.”

"Try... how to try?"

"There's a mineral water bottle over there, you can try to get it."

"Okay." Meng Lijun nodded, then spread his palms, and secretly exerted force on the mineral water bottle on the side of the road.The mineral water bottle went up quickly, but before Meng Lijun was happy, it fell down again with a thud.

"concentrated."

"Okay." Meng Lijun didn't believe it anymore, he couldn't even handle a mineral water bottle.He concentrated and aimed at the mineral water bottle again, but this time the water bottle didn't go up, but flew over quickly.Meng Lijun was overjoyed, seeing that he was about to succeed, but the water bottle didn't fly into his hand, but flew towards Ming Hua beside him.

When it was about to hit Minghua's face, the water bottle stopped in the air as if frozen, and then fell to the ground as if it suddenly lost its support.

"Just practice."

Meng Lijun moved his wrist, and then pinched the water bottle on the ground. This time it finally succeeded, and the water bottle successfully flew into his hand.

It seems that the distance is better to control.

"Success!" Meng Lijun held the mineral water bottle in front of Minghua like a baby.And Minghua frowned slightly, and with a wave of his hand, the mineral water bottle returned to its original position.

"Learn more scriptures in the future, and your mana will improve."

"Huh?" Meng Lijun was startled, why did he feel that he was gone forever on the road of becoming a monk. "Can I not learn?"

Ming Hua glanced at Meng Lijun indifferently, but did not answer.

That should be the acquiescence.Meng Lijun heaved a sigh of relief, secretly rejoicing.

As everyone knows, what Minghua thinks in his heart is - don't worry now, just take it easy in the future.

Ten o'clock passed quickly, and eleven o'clock passed, and there was still no movement in the museum.There were fewer and fewer vehicles on the road, and the guards at the gate also returned to the guard room, chatting idly.

"I don't know when they will come." Meng Lijun muttered, and then sent a message to the supervisor, asking about the situation with Mr. Zheng.

The supervisor went back to the villa before setting off and took what he needed.Now he and Jia Sui are also bored on the roof of a building opposite the V Hotel, staring at Teacher Zheng and Associate Professor Zhao.

Seeing the message from Meng Lijun, the supervisor threw the phone into Jia Sui's arms, "Tell him that those two old men are almost falling asleep."

Jia Sui edited WeChat obediently and reported the situation to Meng Lijun.

"We don't know when we'll wait like this, so let's just go in and tie him up." The guard said to Jia Sui, but Jia Sui didn't respond.

The next second, Meng Lijun's voice call came in.The supervisor thought there was something wrong, so he excitedly took his mobile phone and connected the call, but as soon as he got connected, Minghua's cold voice came from the mobile phone: "Stay safe for me, don't act rashly."

"Eh?" The supervisor was taken aback, and went back to the dialog page to see that Jia Sui had also sent Meng Lijun what he had just said to Jia Sui.

"I was just kidding, the two of them didn't move, so they hung up."

After hanging up the voice, the supervisor glared at Jia Sui, "I'm so stupid, I'll be cheated to death by you sooner or later!"

"Someone is here." Jia Sui ignored the guard's curse, but looked at the opposite hotel room and said.The supervisor followed Jia Sui's eyes and saw a middle-aged man in his 40s wearing a suit coming to Teacher Zheng's room.
