The Mystery of Silurah Village

That afternoon, a group of fathers and some young men were seen, flocking to a rather wet road.

Last night, it rained in the village of Silurah. Shaking without remaining.

they walked together, equipped with hoes and sickles. They also carry a teapot and plastic inside which contains snacks, which will be eaten to accompany their rest.

They are heading somewhere, which they name the area.

Soon, they arrived in the area.

Then they gathered together and put down a carrying. It looks like there is someone, who is standing in the middle. It seemed to be giving directions to the citizens.they seemed to nod, signs of understanding what he was told.

After that, they immediately spread out, filling the area with ambush, plowing the grass that seemed to grow disturbing around the place.

There was also a man carrying a stone on his shoulders. Then the stones were laid out, becoming a three-three formation. And given a distance, which will be used to put firewood.

The area that is at the beginning of entering the village Silurah.believed local residents, as a sacred place.

All the villagers of Silurah, currently being preoccupied with the preparation of the tradition of legenonan. locals, still believe in the tradition of the generations and are believed to provide safety and health for the villagers of Silurah. Which is done in the area.

In that tradition, there is the slaughter of goats. Which must be slaughtered and cooked in the area of the pit using a large skillet, on the stone that has been prepared earlier. It resembles a pawon.

The day is getting hotter, making residents who are doing filial work unwind and sit on the side of the road by rolling out banana leaves.

Some are smoking, gulping coffee wedang to refresh the tongue and throat. then devouring cassava or boiled ketela using hands that are still sipping. but it seems people do not care, more delicious he said.

It was at that moment, when everyone was enjoying their break. Suddenly they were shocked by the screams of a citizen.

One of the residents, saw the fathers fall down draped under the bamboo tree grove.

They turned their eyes, from Singkong who was about to enter the mouth. turned to the sound of shouting of one of the residents.

They immediately swarmed the fallen fathers. In their minds, there are a lot of questions about how it happened. They just quietly bowed, some of them looked frightened and did not dare to approach.

The fathers were lying, Seemed on the body there are bruises, like the silence of time. The blood that was still flowing was fresh, coming from his body. So it changed the color of the clothes that were previously white, into red patches and his body was convulsed violently.

''Swab!! Gotong Pak Kamto, gowo billi. Ojo kosi sue - sue nang kene.''

( Quick! Take Mr. Kamto to his house, don't let him stay here long )

said one of the residents, with a slightly snapping tone, it seems he knows what happened.

Some people have carried Mr. Kamto's body. And brought to his house. While the other residents, taking the hoe and sickle while staring at the horror of the area, evoked a strident aura.

And filial work in the region

the fight had to stop. They all compact home, with a sense of anxiety. Because of what happened again to the people. It seems this incident has happened before.

The men who had brought Mr. Kamto had arrived at his house. His body was placed in the amben[1] located in the central room. His wife cried wriggling after finding out her husband had experienced a fateful incident.

One of the residents, whispered to the people near him. He told me to call someone. Who knows about this problem.

‘’ Cepet Ngundang Mbah Saan.’’

Without lingering again, someone has run to the house of Mbk Saan. to heal Pak Kamto, whose body is now convulsed with blood.

Mbah Saan is a person who is trusted by the surrounding community, as a powerful person. And can cure diseases from disorders of subtle creatures.

Mbah Saan is trusted by local residents as a shaman. If any sick person is in the village, he will be brought to him immediately. Even a fever was brought to him.

They still associate everything with supernatural beings. If someone is sick, they will think they have fallen [2] somewhere.

Especially if something like this happens, then people have guessed. They are ketemper and supernatural beings feel disturbed and angry.

Then came grandparents dressed in black. Mbah Saan had arrived and immediately took out a mainstay ring. Then his eyes closed, his mouth kamit read the mantra.

Suddenly his eyes opened, his eyes glaring like they were about to come out.

‘’Pak kamto wes disrupt demit seng neng alas ninggolangan want, Pak kamto wes negor pring neng alas mau. Saiki demet kui wes exasperated. Saiki kudu gawe sajen digletake neng duwur watu gedi. ‘’

(Pak kamto has disturbed the waiting area, Pak kamto has cut the bamboo in the area, now the waiter becomes angry. Now must be made offerings to be placed on the big rock).

Then Mbah Saan told his wife Pak Kamto to make a ransom [3]. To be taken to the forbidden area, so that the region's waiters are not angry anymore.

While wiping away the tears, which had just soaked his face. Pak kamto's wife immediately did as ordered by Mbah Saan.

Meanwhile, the other residents were waiting outside the house. They talked about what happened to Mr. Kamto.

A young man told the story to people. The young man seemed to be the one who knew what Mr. Kamto had done.

Mr. Kamto has angered the waiters in the area by cutting down bamboo branches in the area. Though Mr. Kamto himself already knew that the bamboo tree in the area of the bargaining can not be cut. And the terrible events were experienced by him.

The people in the village looked anxious and worried.they were afraid if the waiter was angry and the impact would be to all the villagers of Silurah.

Sajen[4] has been completed by his wife Pak Kamto.

Then Mbah saan headed to the area. Along the way, again his mouth was kamit, reciting spells.

Sajen was carried with his left hand, while his right hand held the object in which incense burned.

Sajen is placed on a large rock in the area. While reading prayers, using Javanese krama is very subtle.

Mbah Saan said in Javanese krama, apologizing on behalf of Mr Kamto who had disturbed the region's waiting dedemit and pleaded not to disturb the villagers of Silurah.

Mbah Saan said that the condition had been calm to the local people.

Meanwhile, Mr. Kamto has come to his senses. His body was no longer convulsing.The blood flowing through his body had been cleaned. But his condition is still weak and slow.

Amben: the bed is made of wood. The villagers used to call it amben.

Ketemper: a person who has been bullied by a subtle creature.

Ransom: demand of subtle-beings.

Sajen : offerings.
