Flying Umbrella Swordsman

Tracing Red Yarn

Earlier.

When Sundari and his wife entered the inn. Adijaya was suspicious of someone standing in front of the inn. It was like watching Sundari. Although far away but Adijaya can see clearly the face of the person sparkling when he saw Sundari.

"It looks like he's waiting for Bibi" muttered Adijaya. He got off the train. Walk slowly. The distance to the inn was far enough that he could keep an eye on the middle-aged man without being caught.

After a few steps Asmarini and Sundari came out again. The man immediately turned his back on them, pretending not to see. After the two women were nowhere to be seen again, this man immediately walked towards the path they were walking on.

Adijaya followed soon. But after a few more steps, he sensed that someone was watching him from a hidden place. Adijaya continued to step up, pretending not to know while dousing the whereabouts of the person.

This Flying Umbrella Swordsman thought of a strategy on how to lure the person watching him out of hiding. After a while, Adijaya got the idea. He accelerated the pace of chasing after the middle-aged man.

Adijaya's steps turned into running. One of the hands prepared to release a blow. Five spears before reaching the target, Adijaya felt a strong gust of wind from the right. Hawa Sakti directly enveloped the air around.

One figure flashed to know already blocked, even directly attacking. A young man of almost thirty. Steady muscular. His slightly boxy face showed firmness.

The science is pretty high. Looks like he's having a very tight paddle. His movements are steady and fast. Adijaya admired the prowess of his opponent. It turned out that this young man was protecting the middle-aged man.

Who is he, who is that man?

Adijaya did not show his true strength. He equates with the strength of the opponent. As usual he used the science of 'Turning the Sky' to study the movement patterns of the opponent.

His fishing was successful, in fact he was just pretending to be about to attack the man in front of him.

The young man became astonished when Adijaya just avoided it. According to him, Adijaya should immediately strike back because it was hunting the people he protected.

After a dozen moves passed, then the young man realized. Adijaya just lured him out. Surprised also because fooled by Adijaya who pretended not to know his existence.

After exchanging many moves, the young man had measured the strength of Adijaya. But once he knew Adijaya's stratagem, he suspected that his opponent was able to hide his strength. It means he is very high in knowledge.

This young man took his distance and stopped his attack. Looking in anger at Adijaya.

"What do you mean?"

Adijaya just smiled. "What did he mean by following those two women?" show Adijaya to a middle-aged man who is no longer visible figure.

The young man looked wrong. Does he have to be honest? After all he knew the two women that followed were not mean to be evil.

"Looks like you know the problem!" The young man tried to extract information from Adijaya.

No need to feel hesitant or suspicious, Adijaya explains that they are looking for the missing Nyai Mandita. The young man sighed after hearing it. In accordance with his assumption.

"I am Surya Manggala, and that man is my uncle, Wirapati, his old lover Nyai Mandita,"

Adijaya was surprised to hear that. A statement that Sundari had never uttered before. Or maybe the woman does not know about her employer's love story. Or, it could be that Surya Manggala is lying, considering that many are eyeing Nyai Mandita's treasure.

Surya Manggala said that Wirapati secretly followed wherever Nyai Mandita went. Even secretly they also protect the woman from the interference of bad people.

"Uncle also lost track of Nyai Mandita. However, he could not investigate directly. Finally he waited for information from Nyai Mandita's maid,"

"Then we catch him!" invite Adijaya ahead of the step. He wanted to know how far it was about Wirapati. Is he really Nyai Mandita's old lover?

Surya Manggala immediately followed. This young man had already noticed Adijaya since getting off the horse carriage. It was like he had heard of a pair of warriors who had always rode a horse carriage, but his mind had yet to remember him.

After exchanging dozens of moves the middle-aged man still did not counterattack. His mouth seemed to open several times, like he was about to say something. Asmarini suspected this man did not mean anything evil.

"Wirapati, is that you?" sawitri exclaimed after having managed to get his memory.

Asmarini stopped attacking. Sawitri's cry signifies someone rediscovering his old acquaintance. There was no fear in it.

"True, it's me, Sawitri!" sahut Wirapati awkward. He barely recognized the woman. Because Sawitri didn't live here. Since when did he move here? And did not expect that Sundari found Sawitri.

Then came Adijaya with Surya Manggala. Wirapati looked astonished to see her nephew with someone. His astonishment was immediately answered when Asmarini greeted Adijaya.

A few moments later everyone gathered in the front room of Sawitri's house. They discussed one person who had gone missing without a trace. Nyai Mandita's.

"He said he wanted to be alone, no longer move around and leave the world," Sawitri story when the last time he met Nyai Mandita.

"Did he mention a place or a person's name?" ask Wirapati.

"He told me about someone who always gave him encouragement until he felt he had to be some kind of hermit, so!" sawitri replied while frowning as she was trying to remember something.

"Someone who teaches the true nature of life? Is he a rishi?" ask Adijaya.

"It seems so, I'm trying to remember his name" Sawitri replied again.

"Danuranda's Rishis?" Wirapati mentioned the name.

"Well, that!" sawitri exclaimed like finding a needle in a haystack.

While Wirapati was shocked, the look on her face turned pale. Like saving an emergency.

"Uncle knows about him?" search Asmarini.

Resi Danuranda is known as a role model of rich but lonely people who are almost desperate. Already many have become his followers, all of them give up the wealth they have to the sage.

"Konon said, the property was distributed back to the poor," Wirapati said.

"But why does uncle look worried?" ask Asmarini again.

"I suspect this is just a cover. Why are those approached to be his followers only the rich?" answer Wirapati.

"And I have never heard of a rishi or anyone else handing out property to the poor" Surya Manggala said.

"Regardless of who he is, we will still investigate to find Nyai Mandita," said Adijaya. Because it is their main purpose to find Nyai Mandita.

"Right, this clue is pretty convincing!" asmarini. "We have to make sure, rightly or not Nyai Mandita became a follower of Resi Danuranda,"

"Among us, who knows the dwelling place of the Resi Danuranda?" ask Sundari who has not spoken since.

Everything's silent. Because no one knows. While Adijaya thought about how to find it even though he did not know where it was.

"This is the problem, he is already famous. But not just anyone who knows the place" said Wirapati.
