It's real. Lahpai Zau Tu took the religious groups to Mungji Mung (a place) and let people be religious. I will share one special thing from Lahpai Zau Tu's biography. In that book, we can see how intelligent Lahpai clans were. They were good at fighting too. They attacked Bhamo (a town) and Shan state. Then, they left their youngest brother at home when they went to attack the others. They told him, "Don't come with us. You are still young. So, just stay at home with mom." And they attacked people from other places to own the territories. Some brothers who belonged to Lahpai clan reached Shan state and became chiefs there. They worshipped monks too. Some became monks and lived everywhere. On the other hand, the youngest brother was waiting for his elder brothers at home. But they didn't come back home. The parents were dead too. So, he went to his brothers. When he arrived there, his brothers told him, "Why did you come here?" Then, they continued, "Okay. Since you are already here, you live there." They gave him a place to live. Kadu kanan (an ethnic group) lived in a place where Buddha was worshipped. The boy's brothers lived in Shan State. Later, the missionaries arrived there. Many people became Christians. So, when we see Kadu kanan, we say to them, "You are Kadu kanan. We are related."
