GHOST VILLAGE

EPILOGUES

Rama: "Ratna, are there any signs of Kamamang ghost movement?"

Ratna: "Rama, according to satellite imagery that detected the ghostly fire point of Kemamang, thought he was heading towards the top of Mount Lawu. "

Rama: "Good Ratna, we will go there. Please activate Ajian Pralambangun after I call Gendoruwo to help us. "

Ratna: "Good Ramah. "

Rama immediately closed his eyes to call out to Gendoruwo. At once, Gendoruwo appeared before Rama.

Gendoruwo: "Assalamu'alaikum Rama, I'm sorry I just came."

Rama: " Wa alaikumussalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Thank you Gendoruwo, it looks like we have to go to Mount Lawu Peak. There is a ghost of Kemamang who headed there to meet Ki Sabrang. And easy - hopefully baby Raka, Ratu Sari and Raja Piningit we can find there. "

Gendoruwo :" Good Rama, I also got some information that in the middle of the night during the full moon of Mount Lawu Peak there will be a demon market and a very special battle sphere and determine their jinn kingdom in the future. "

Rama: "Ratna, please activate Ajian Pralambangun to the ghost location of Kemamang. "

Ratna: "Good Ram"

The black hole of the time portal immediately appeared in front of Rama and Gendoruwo, and they immediately jumped inside and immediately fell on a field of reeds on the slopes of Mount Lawu. This field does not look too dark considering the night of the full moon.

Mount Lawu (Hanacaraka: ⁇ ) is a non-active volcano located on the island of Java, precisely on the border of Central Java and East Java, Indonesia. Mount Lawu has a height of about 3,265 masl.

Mount Lawu is located between three districts, namely Karanganyar in Central Java, Ngawi, and Magetan in East Java. The status of this mountain is a "resting" volcano, which was last estimated to erupt on November 28, 1885 and has long been dormant, visible from the dense vegetation and eroded peaks. A 2019 study on geothermal heat flow suggests that Mount Lawu is still active today.

Mount Lawu is one of the coldest mountains in Java, after Mount Semeru, and Mount Slamet which is the coldest point in JavaNama Gunung Lawu, which means superior, and, it is also known as Wukir Mahendra Giri.

The word comes from the Javanese language, and all three have the same meaning that is mountain; so it can be interpreted as three mountains. This is in line with the fact that Mount Lawu does have three large peaks namely Hargo Dalem, Hargo Dumiling, and Hargo Dumilah.

The names of the mountain peaks are most likely sourced from the Centhini Fiber, which mentions that Mount Lawu has fifteen peaks. To the south, there are seven peaks namely Hargo Dalem, Dumilah, Pethapralaya, Mayang, Cakrakembang, Tenjomaya, and Kepanasan. Meanwhile, in the north there are eight peaks namely Hargo Tiling, Pekareman, Sadewa, Pamenang, Candhirenggo, Bayu, Rimbi, and Kalithi. In Centhini Fiber, only Hargo Dumiling is not mentioned.

The name is a modification of Hargo Tiling. This estimate is supported by its equally flat peak in the northern part of Mount Lawu.

Poerbatjaraka mentions that the original name of Mount Lawu is Katong which means god. The name is written in Tantu Panggelaran. Mount Katong is part of the ruins of Mount Mahameru when it was carried by the gods through the skies of Java Island.

Other ruins became Mount Wilis, Kamput, Kawi, Arjuno, and Kemukus. According to Poerbatjaraka, Mount Katong is identified with Mount Lawu.

In other words, Mount Katong is the ancient name for Mount Lawu. According to Zoetmulder the meaning of the word katong is god, respect, reverence, and admiration. Meanwhile, the word lawu means supreme and superior.

The meaning of the two words both contain the meaning of admiration; so that even though the name is changed, it does not shift the meaning contained in it. In addition to the Centhini Fiber, the name Lawu is also mentioned in the Manikmaya Fiber.

The fiber was written in 1794 AD, whose contents have similarities with Tantu Panggelaran. However, the thing that distinguishes is Manikmaya Fiber written in New Java.

That said, Mount Lawu is part of eighteen sacred mountains in Central Java. It is likely that the mandalas are located in the mountains where the literary work was made.

The older literary work is Babad Tanah Jawi. In the book, Mount Lawu is referred to as the last moksa place Prabu Brawijaya which has another name, Sunan Gunung Lawu.

Myths that developed in the community stated that he did moksha in Pringgodani hermitage. This statement is an indication that until the time of writing the Babad Tanah Jawi, which is during the Islamic Mataram period, Mount Lawu is still seen as a holy place.

At least, it is a mountain that is considered valuable by Hindus. The oldest manuscript is Bhujangga Manik. Mount Lawu is also called when Bhujangga Manik traveled from Sunda to Majapahit and Bali.

Mount Lawu in Central Java is also one of the most haunted mountains in Indonesia. That is because it is known that the mountain becomes a place for fine creatures to gather called ‘pasar satan’ which is said to be able to visit humans.

There is also a location called Bulak Wargan where at this location many climbers who often hear noise such as war. The climbers must focus and should not be scattered because if lost maybe the climber will go home just name it.

It is said that Mount Lawu is the center of spiritual activities in the land of Java and is closely related to the tradition and culture of Mangkunegaran Praja. Everyone who wants to go to the top must understand the various unwritten prohibitions not to do something, both in action and word.

If the abstinence is violated the perpetrator is believed to be ill-fated.

Other places that are believed to be mysterious by locals include: Sendang Inten, Sendang Drajat, Sendang Panguripan, Well of Jalatunda, Candradimuka Crater, Repat Kepanasan/Cakrasurya, and Pringgodani.

The presence of Satan Market on Mount Lawu is a warm talk among climbers, many climbers who have heard noise, such as being in the market. In fact, it is not uncommon to hear people who offer merchandise, while climbing on Mount Lawu.

According to the beliefs of the surrounding community, if you hear a noise on top of Lawu mountain, you should throw one of the items you have, as well as people who are doing barter transaki

Rama and Gendoruwo then passed through the thatch on the slopes of Lawu, which was windy. Physically, this field is a large field that contains many large stones and edelweiss trees. There are some stones that are neatly arranged and anyone is forbidden to change or take them.

Rama and Gendoruwo then heard the sound of a crowd like a market.

Gendoruwo: "Rama, we are in the middle of a satanic market. Not visible in your eyes, but follow me so that you do not disturb them, and do not misstep towards the top of the mountain. It seems that the jinn and the subtle creatures waiting for Mount Lawu are transacting to prepare offerings for the ruler of the jinn kingdom of Puncak Gunung Lawu. "

Rama: "Good, Gendoruwo"

Rama and Gendoruwo walk quickly and side by side because it turns out the climbing route via Cetho Temple is quite steep and difficult to pass because of fog. The estimated distance of their climb is about 9.75 km to the summit.

Suddenly Rama and Gendoruwo were surprised by the sighting of Kiyongko troops or millipedes in front of them. These creatures stared intently at Rama as if giving a message to Rama in order to restore the environment and water resources on Mount Lawu.

Because Kiyongko's creature did not attack Rama and Gendoruwo, Rama simply nodded his head and continued the journey. Then in the sky also appeared a starling bird that circled above Rama and Gendoruwo during the trip to the Peak.

Rama and Gendoruwo who saw the appearance of starlings just smile and assume the starlings do not mean evil so they immediately continue the journey. Rama and Gendoruwo must reach the summit of Mount Lawu before midnight of the full moon.

After Rama and Gendoruwo walked through Hargo Dalem which is at an altitude of 3,142 meters above sea level, they had seen Hargo Dumilah Peak, as Mount Lawu Peak. Samar - faint Rama saw a fire running on Mount Lawu Peak like the ghost of Kemamang who was being followed by Rama.

Rama: "Ratna, is it true that fire is the same as the ghost of Kemamang? "

Ratna: "Right Rama, he is the ghost of Kemamang. Rama's heart, I scan Hargo Dumilah Peak is crowded with a group of black flow genie troops and ghosts other than the ghost of Kemamang. Looks like they're getting together to hold a funeral ceremony. "

Rama: "The ceremony was definitely for baby Raka. Ratna, can you scan the prison location again? Because maybe Queen Sari and King Piningit were there !"

Ratna: "Right Rama, I detected the aura of a white royal genie in Hargo Dumiling, a different place to Hargo Dumilah."

Rama: "Gendoruwo, it looks like we should split up. I will release the baby Raka at Hargo Dumilah, and you will release Queen Sari, King Piningit and the royal army of the white genie at Hargo Dumiling ! "

Gendoruwo: "Good Rama. "

They also split up and Rama walked while sneaking around so that he could enter without their trace.

Meanwhile, Ki Sabrang began to appear himself in the crowd of black flow genie troops and the ghosts of his allies.

Ki Sabrang: "O royal army of black stream jin.. O Allies ghost stream black.. Tonight, we gather to perform the baraya tumbala ceremony to increase our devotion and gain eternal life " (while laughing)

The black-flow genie army and the black-flow ghost Allies cheered and stomped their spear guns to the ground signifying they were rejoicing with their ruler's words.

Ki Sabrang: "Wewe Gombel, bring here the baby " (while pointing towards the gombel wewe who is holding the baby Raka).

Rama who was observing Ki Sabrang from the hiding place was shocked. Not expecting it turns out that Raka's baby was carried by Wewe Gombel to be handed over to Ki Sabrang. Though Wewe Gombel has promised to help Rama and has been sanctified. Rama's emotions became very angry seeing this. Moreover, Raka's baby is seen crying endlessly in Wewe Gombel's sling, while Wewe Gombel looks compassionless to comfort Raka's baby.

Rama became angry, and at once Rama appeared in front of the crowd Ki Sabrang and his troops.
