Flying Umbrella Swordsman

Woodman

When Adijaya opened both of his eyes. He saw tall trees looming around him. On the right and left there is a mountain top from behind lush foliage.

"What is this place?" Adijaya looked up. It was still day, but the sun was hidden behind the western mountain. It's like cloudy.

After taking a closer look, it turned out that he was in a valley between two mountains. However, Adijaya does not know whether this place is still close to the Karang Bolong temple or vice versa.

As he remembered in the paddock he had never seen an adjacent mountain like this. Means this place is far from Coral Bolong. Where is this? How many days would it take by horseback or on foot?

"This place is between Mount Gede and Pangrango!" Padmasari's voice told.

Then Adijaya stepped onto the path whose condition decreased. The more forward the more downhill and winding. The atmosphere was so quiet, even the sound of insects was not heard.

"The insects here dare not speak?"

While stepping, his handler swept through every corner of the place. All it looks like are trees and shrubs that are so tight. So if there is someone hiding there, it will definitely not be seen.

Adijaya strengthened his sensitivity to water around the place. Perhaps there are other people or creatures who are in love with it. However, it has so far not detected anything suspicious.

Decreasing again, a thin mist enveloped the entire valley. Adijaya sharpen his vision. How did the disciples of Karang Bolong, the owner of Mind-Snaring Science, find this valley?

Since when? How long has it been? And what's the purpose? It is the same as betrayal. Saving knowledge in places other than padepokan. Adijaya is sure that this disciple did it secretly.

"Who is the name of the man who taught the science?" ask Adijaya.

"He's called Ki Sawung!"

"Ki Sa-wung!"

What Adijaya will face is new again. A strange science that is a little similar to gendam. Don't know, can it be fought with a spell? It feels impossible to fight with the study of Soekma Absorption.

Now Adijaya is in that thin fog. From the outside, you will not be able to see his figure. Here there is a powerful radiating energy. It was like being connected to the fog.

So far he has not found anything whether it is a cave, house or hut where Ki Sawung is nesting. Where's the human nest? According to Padmasari, Ki Sawung's Science of Mind-Snaring is already perfect.

Suddenly Adijaya felt the ground that he stepped on vibrated like there was an earthquake from a far place that was felt here. However, the atmosphere was still quiet. No strange sounds were heard.

Adijaya is just waiting for what happens next. Not forgetting he increased his alertness.

Wukk!

A tree branch flashed out from behind the fog almost hitting his head. After sharpening his sense of sight again. Adijaya surprised not play.

It turns out that the branch that was snatching came from here. A tree moves itself as it walks meandering and turning moving branches and twigs as if to be his hand attacking Adijaya.

"Is this the science of Trapping the Mind so perfect?" muttered.

Adijaya jumped to and fro dodging the attacks of living trees. He tried while saying a spell. Apparently not influential.

When trying to fend it off, it turned out that the branch was really amazing. He hit an iron stick. Adijaya thought hard to find a way to cripple this living tree.

Of course, not living in a literal sense. Adijaya understands this tree is under influence and controlled remotely by Ki Sawung.

"Don't hesitate, Nurse!" padmasari Suggestion.

Adijaya did not understand the meaning. Then Padmasari continued his whisper.

Adijaya followed Padmasari's advice. After reciting the incantation he slammed the heel into the ground firmly.

Degh's!

The ground that was hit by the heel cracked little by little then the ground split apart extending forward. This movable tree automatically falls into this hemisphere.

Blass! Blips!

The tree seemed to be sucked down to the top. After all, the land docked like nothing had ever happened before.

"Gell!"

Adijaya was agape at the results. What if the sucker is human. Directly buried. The mood was silent again. The warrior waits for what other obstacles will come his way.

This obstruction came because of his bad intentions. Adijaya wanted to pry the information of anyone who became a disciple of Ki Sawung, one of whom must be a student of Karang Bolong.

"What do you mean, don't you hesitate?" adijaya asked then while continuing to be vigilant.

"Destroy or fall the tree, if there is an attack like that," replied Padmasari.

Suddenly there was a clustered sound like rubbing between wood and other wood. Adijaya circle the view. Not seeing anything, but the sound of the clutter was very clear.

Until finally from the eight directions of the wind appeared a figure made of wood besieging Adijaya.

"What else is this?"

"Wood man!"

Although the shape is more like a skull, this wooden man stands with the position of the horses ready to attack. Adijaya only snorted short while rolling her eyes.

"Well, you can make a wooden warrior like this!" adijaya said while preparing energy. Because it must be a wooden man or more fittingly called a wooden skull it will attack him.

Ki Manguntara stared at the probing disciple who dared to infiltrate his residence. This grandfather saw the line of malevolent faces and pent-up ambition. This kind of human danger if left unchecked.

"All right," said Ki Manguntara. "First you better think about your presuppositions before spilling them. Because I have mature considerations before I do anything.

"Second, I'll give you a chance to unpack the content and gist of the one sentence I'm about to say. Because in this way I also give to Anjasmara,"

Then the mahaguru said the first sentence he wrote the other day with his three best friend grandmothers when Adijaya showed the results of his work during confinement in the basement.

"I'll give you three days to show you the results!"

Ki Manguntara is sure, people with greed ambition will not be able to understand the sentence earlier. He was forced to do so, because this student protested.

It turns out to be true, even though this paddle is white. Not that there are no black students. There must be a little.

The disciple then left after having enjured first. In his heart he was still upset. He accused the great teacher of being unfair. He sure ain't that way.

Why look for the meaning of a sentence that sounds unfamiliar. Poetry is not either. The student thought the teacher was just making up.

How outcome?
