Flying Umbrella Swordsman

Mahaguru Manguntara

Adijaya had a search before finally finding Ki Rangkas and Ki Legawa. Both are lying in the middle of the shallow river. Ki Legawa was killed with a cracked head due to a tread attack.

While Ki Rangkas also died horribly with his stomach torn due to scratches. We have all the main students of Mahaguru Manguntara. Who will lead the paddock, while Mahaguru himself is heading towards moksa.

Adijaya did not expect all of this to happen in one night and end up this morning. But it feels so long. He intends to bury their bodies including Ki Bontang's body which is not far from where he stands.

However, just about to descend into the river, Adijaya saw something hovering above the sky. The beginning is small because it is still far away, after approaching it is clearly visible figure.

An all-white clothed grandfather whose body was emitting a sparkling white light. Although hit by sunlight, but still do not fade the soft light.

Seeing that figure Adijaya remembered to a figure called Eyang Batara. But he's not that demigod. There was a gentle wind blowing as a sign that Eyang Batara was about to come. While this figure came there was no gust of wind.

This glowing figure landed in the middle of the river where there were the bodies of Ki Legawa and Ki Rangkas. At first glance his legs look like treading on water, but after seeing more clearly it turns out the figure is floating.

This grandfather looked at Adijaya. His gaze was soft and soothing. Emitting a gentle air calms the mind.

"I failed to educate them" said the grandfather slowly but clearly to Adijaya's ears.

From his words, it means that this grandfather is Mahaguru Manguntara. This terrible event has cancelled the tapa moksa. To his knowledge, tapa moksa is tapa until the end of life. Until the body disappears or the moxa.

Adijaya doesn't know what to say. He looked back and forth at the grandfather and the two bodies below him.

"The ten years I educated him, in fact did not eliminate their greedy nature. By the time his ambition peaked, they couldn't control it anymore,"

"All I see is Ki Bontang and Ki Legawa..."

"Everything is the same, all have the desire to be in power. There's only the obvious and there's the hidden,"

"What about Mount Sindu?"

"They won't dare, just look at you they're already scared,"

Adijaya. Are they really backing out because they're afraid of him? If the grandfather spoke, Adijaya could not dispute it. But still curious.

"Why are they afraid of me?"

"Because of the power of Melati Tunjung Sampurna and the guriang who look after you,"

Adijaya was not surprised, it was natural that the magician in front of him would know about him with just one look. Maybe his magic will match Eyang Batara.

Suddenly the figures of Ki Santang and Padmasari appeared on the right and left side of Adijaya. They immediately saluted the grandfather. They showed up because the grandfather mentioned them earlier.

"It turns out that our nation is also fooled by human intrigue," said Ki Santang. What was meant was the intrigue between four disciples of Ki Manguntara.

Ki Manguntara looked to sigh. His face showed regret. Regret failing to educate his students.

"I want to hear your conclusion, young man!" pinta the Mahaguru.

Adijaya did not answer. He thought hard what he should say. He could look at both houses. But they were silent too.

"We have tried, but the result is still Sang Hyang Widhi who determines. Because what happened today was his will. We can't change the rules he's set,"

"I like that!" sahut the grandfather directly. Her lips flicked with a thin but soothing smile.

Once his hands pointed, the three bodies of his disciples were lifted into the air, floated up and piled up in front of him.

"We will meet again young!"

The figure of the grandfather was lifted up with the body of his student, then shot high away and disappeared in a short time.

"Meeting again? Isn't he going to repeat the moksha tapa?" ask Adijaya.

Adijaya took a long breath. I slept for a while last night. You could say that you are not actually sleeping at all. He then washed his face before continuing his journey.

***

Fortunately, the problem of Karang Bolong padepokan was completed in a short time. Adijaya did not have to go back and forth to the padepokan which was very far away. So that within three days he had arrived at Ki Brajaseti's house.

It was almost noon Adijaya got there. There was a new sight he saw. In the front yard of the house looks a man is practicing to strengthen the moves.

As far as Adijaya was concerned, Ki Brajaseti had only one student, Darma Koswara. But this one wasn't the rich man who gave him the horse carriage. But it seems Adijaya also knows this man.

"Raden!"

This guy stopped playing his manager. He looked at the people who called him. His smile immediately expanded.

"Adijaya, I can't believe it's you!"

Cakra Diwangsa welcomed Adijaya with joy. His eyes looked for something. Adijaya understands.

"I came by myself, I knew Raden left my carriage in the padepokan. I didn't bring it,"

Adijaya remembered that Cakra Diwangsa wanted to study silat more deeply and wanted to study with Ki Brajaseti. It seems his intention has been achieved.

"Teacher is in the field" Cakra Diwangsa told him when Adijaya was brought in and sat in the front room.

"It's okay, I'll wait for him to come home. Anyway my needs aren't that urgent,"

Next they chatted about the problems they had passed through. Last met when Adijaya was expelled from the Wanagiri palace by his father Asmarini, even to be accused of madness.

Then Cakra Diwangsa said, with the help of his grandfather he could be a student Ki Brajaseti. Even the king of Cupunagara himself brought him to this house.

Adijaya remembers, Ki Brajaseti and Prabu Satyaguna were best friends. Of course, the grandfather who became Darma Koswara's teacher did not mind accepting the Diwangsa Cakra.

It was a little while after noon that Ki Brajaseti came home. He was surprised and happy to get an unexpected guest. After this grandfather cleaned his face then he was ready to serve his guests.

First Adijaya gave news about the death of Ki Ranggasura who was Ki Brajaseti's friend as well. Hearing him, this grandfather was immediately shocked and showed a sad look.

Adijaya also told how the leader of the temple could be killed according to the story of Arya Sentana, because he did not witness at that time. From there Ki Brajaseti heard the names Jerangkong Koneng and Rangrang Geni. It seemed like this grandfather had only heard the name because there was no reaction of surprise when mentioned both names of the figures.

Then came the time for Adijaya to express his main purpose.

"Because Ranggasura's grandfather is gone, then I beg his grandfather to replace him,"

Ki Brajaseti did not understand Adijaya's intentions. "Replace what?"

"On the plaza no one is considered an elder, although Uncle Komara has been appointed as the leader. But he hasn't had any experience,"

"Say the obvious, replace what?"

"Become a ruler, I want to get married!" answer Adijaya timidly.

Ki Brajaseti and Cakra Diwangsa immediately laughed cursingly.

"Are you ready to go to the household?" ask the grandfather.

"Must be ready, Cake!" Adijaya.
