Resu, the founder and the first Khullakpa, originally lived at  Khongdei village ( Khongdei a Poumai village which came from Koide village. [[Koide]] village is believed to have come from Makhel which is an important site for the Nagas ). From there he moved to what is now the site of Phaibung Khunuo(Chumai village).One day he went hunting, and wounded a large deer. He followed the tracks to a pool of water near the present site of the Khullakpa's house (Khullen). He climbed a tree and found millet, which he took. Next morning he went home, and his wife offered him rice and zu, but he refused it. That night he sought omens in a dream, and the dream told him to change the site of his village. He was to tie a rope around the neck of his mithun and a stone to the other end, turn the mithun loose and follow it. When the stone fell off, the site was reached. However, he found a suitable site behind the present one, and did not wait for the stone to fall. As he was clearing his house-site many lice came up from the ground, and after he had settled there tigers came and killed his cattle. Then he remembered the omen of the lice, and moved up to the present site of Chingjaroi Khullen , where he built a house in the position of the present Khullakpa's.
