Jaka Someh's

Chapters 20. Karuhun Eyang.

That morning, Jaka Someh walked down the path to a village in the Subang region. The view of the rice fields that are spread green because it is well maintained by its owners. The flow of water from simple irrigation channels seemed to be smoothly irrigating the rice fields and plantations in the region. He saw some farmers were walking along the rice fields while chatting cheerfully with his friends. Jaka Someh continued walking until he came across a middle-aged couple who were walking towards his farm. They smiled kindly at Jaka Someh, then they greeted him,

“Excuse me kang, , hapunten if the tea akang from where and where?”

Jaka Someh was amazed by their friendly attitude. Jaka Someh answered their smiles, saying clumsily,

“Eeh anu father and mother?  I just hitchhiked through, I tea from far away to the kulon ! “

While still smiling, they invited Jaka Someh,

“Ooh Mangga or Kang, Wilujeng “

They left while nodding their heads as a sign of courtesy and respect for the newly met guests. Jaka Someh immediately continued his journey and entered the area within the village. Inside the village, he saw many residents doing various activities. Their faces were filled with joyful spirit. Some of them work in groups and look so harmonious lan guyub. While walking, Jaka Someh continued to observe the situation around the village. He concluded that the village is a prosperous, prosperous, safe village and the people live prosperous and harmonious lives. There is no fear of threats from strangers.

In the north of the village there is a stall that is quite crowded visited by the citizens who love to lapkruan. Jaka Someh took the time to stop by the shop. He ordered food and drinks from the shop as a meal for breakfast that morning. Rarely could he eat in a food stall as that day. While eating the dish, Jaka Someh invited the owner of the stall to chat. The owner of the shop is named Mr. Supar. The people are friendly and supple. Jaka Someh asked a lot about the situation in the village to Mr. Supar. To treat the sense of wonder and admiration at the good atmosphere in the village. Mr. Supar who is friendly, serves the chat Jaka Someh with fun. He also told me about his village which was safe and full of peace. In the story, he prides his village chief as a good and fair leader who always pays attention to the welfare of his citizens. Generally the residents in the village are farmers, but some are also working as traders and pottery craftsmen. Pak Supar is also proud that the pottery products from his village have been famous and spread throughout various regions in the area of sumedang forbidden. Jaka Someh then asked Supar again,

“Pak, this father's village is prosperous?  are the residents not afraid if there will be a band of robbers who plunder this village?”

Mr. Supar laughed at Jaka Someh's question, he replied, saying,

“Of course no doubt kang, this village tea there is a guard, said the elders of the village, our village is tea guarded by a village karuhun who dwells in the karuhun hill, tuh!  “

Mr. Supar pointed with his right index finger to a hill that appeared to rise to the south of the village. Believing in disbelief, even though Someh turned to the hill pointed by Mr. Supar, he just said, ''She said,

“Oohh so yes Sir “

Mr. Supar then continued the story,

“Maybe the akang does not believe my story, hehehe, but kang, this is true, there is already evidence, there have been some robbers who want to come here to rob, hehehe, but not yet robbed them already dead first even with the terrible conditions, mysterious death also, some of the bodies found residents lying on the edge of the forest under the hill,  in a charred state like burning “.

Jaka Someh was more interested in the story of Mr. Supar, he asked Mr. Supar,

“have any residents ever met with karuhunnya, sir?”

Mr. Supar laughed lightly then answered Jaka Someh's question,

“Actually there has never been a citizen who met the karuhun kang, besides the hill looks haunted tea pisan, so no residents dare to approach let alone enter the hill area, but we just believe that it's the tea that occupies the hill, because the story of the tea of the elders here “

Mr. Supar's story adds to the curiosity of Someh, he asked again to Mr. Supar, he asked again,

“pak, how is the story, koq can there karuhun can occupy on that hill, ?”

Mr. Supar laughed, then he said to Jaka Someh,

“ Hahaha, the curious huh? kepo huh? Here kang, it is said, this said village elders here lo, kang, long ago there were extraordinary magic warriors whose magic came to this village, the swordsman had just had a fight with his older brother, not knowing the problem why, apparently his older brother was more powerful than him, so the swordsman was injured in the fight. Due to severe injuries he almost died, but fortunately kang, he managed to save tea by Ki Sapri, a healer in this village, he said, after recovering he was placed on the hill to ascend and train his knowledge again, maybe to face his older brother again, kang, well as a thank you to Ki sapri, he also promised to guard this village from all the threats of enemies that will disturb this village, so the story goes, Ki saprinya himself has long died, now who inherited his medical knowledge is Ki Thiban, who has been born,  kang, his granddaughter tea ki sapri, usually he lives on the hillside, oh yes there is a boarding school too, where Ki Thiban teaches his students.  He was, a scholar who had studied in the city of Mecca Medina, “.

Jaka Someh grew astonished to hear Mr. Supar's story about Eyang Karuhun, then he revealed his astonishment, he said,

“Pak!  if that's the story, I wonder if maybe the swordsman is still alive, huh? though if the age is calculated may be more than 200 years, is there anyone who can live more than 200 years, sir, ? wow great also if it really happens “.

Mr. Supar also felt confused to answer the astonishment of Jaka Someh,

“Iya Kang, I also don't know if the problem is mah, confused he replied, maybe because of the magician times huh? so that his body can be maintained to stay fit despite the age of hundreds of years, waduuh, but do not know kang, I was also surprised, hehehe“

After chatting and taking a short rest at the stall of Mr. Supar, Someh was finally saying goodbye to continue his journey. The curiosity that is so great about the story of Mr. Supar makes Jaka Someh intend to go to the hill to prove the existence of the karuhun warrior figure told by Mr. Supar. He finally walked up to the hill.

The sounds of the forest insects began to sound out loud. When the night had completely mastered the day, Jaka Someh was preparing to continue his journey to the top of the hill. He continued to walk down the path that already seemed unclear anymore because it had been covered by weeds. The night he walked the closer he got to the top of the hill. The sound of wild dog howls has begun to be heard from the direction of the peak adds to the haunted atmosphere of the hill.

Fortunately that night was a full moon, so there was still a moonlight that helped the vision of Jaka Someh. The closer to the top, the more haunted the atmosphere, as if there was a mystical atmosphere that ruled the hill. Suddenly there was a strong cold wind that hit Jaka Someh's body, making him stunned and stopping his footsteps. Her hair suddenly stood up, bringing up feelings of anxiety and an erratic mood. Never before had Jaka Someh felt such misgivings in his heart as he felt back then. He scanned his surroundings, suddenly he saw a black shadow from the right where he was standing. Jaka Someh was shocked, because suddenly the black shadow moved quickly across the trees. Then the shadow darted towards Jaka Someh, and stopped in front of Jaka Someh with a grin.

Jaka Someh tried to observe the figure. Although still vague, but Jaka Someh knew that the figure was a black-robed old man with a creepy face. Suddenly the old man laughed in a creepy voice while saying to Jaka Someh,

“ Hahaha, young man do you want to look for dead come to this hill, ?”

Jaka Someh became somewhat calm after hearing the voice from the old man. He was convinced that the man was a human being even though he was sure that he was not an indiscriminate man. He said,

“Sorry, I do not mean to disturb the rest of the eyes, I just pass by, I am a traveler “

Not finished Jaka Someh said, eyeang karuhun already cut it, he said,

“ Hahaha, you lied! I know you feel great, feel good so intend to challenge me “

Hearing the sanguine speech, Jaka Someh was shocked, he said, saying,

“Sorry mana dares me challenge eyang “

Eyang Karuhun laughed again,

“ Hahaha, no need to bother much anymore, I have not fought and killed humans for a long time, tonight you must be my prey, Hahaha “.

After saying so eyed karuhun directly attacked Jaka Someh with lightning speed by using his claw style. Jaka Someh immediately jumped back to avoid the attack of karuhun eyes. The attack failed to hit Jaka Someh's body and hit the tree on the left of Jaka Someh earlier.

So shocked Jaka Someh when he saw the impact of the attack of karuhun eyes that hit the tree. The tree immediately collapsed and looked charred like it was burned. Seeing this, the fur of Jaka Someh suddenly stood up. He immediately increased his vigilance to face the eyes of karuhun. Not long after that the karuhun eyes immediately re-launched his second attack, but this time Jaka Someh did not dodge he actually deflected the wrists of the eyes of the karuhun with his right wrist. When the two wrists clashed against each other, there was a loud sound like two steel metals fighting each other. Jaka Someh immediately pulled his hand which was used to fend off the attack of karuhun eyes. Her hands were hot and painful, yet she could still endure the pain. It feels like there is a strong demon air in the moves launched by Karuhun's eyes. In Jaka Someh's heart said,

“What a great guy this is! I have to be careful facing him”.

After both attacks were able to be faced by Jaka someh, eyang karuhun continued with other attacks that were more powerful. To deal with the next attack, Jaka Someh no longer dare to use both hands to fight directly with his hands,  he preferred to dodge and hold with his palm rather than having to clash directly with the sanguine-eyed wrist.

The two continued the fight with excitement, attacking each other and defending, but more eyes karuhun who launched the attack than Jaka Someh. Jaka Someh avoids more than attacks. Only now did he feel a sense of pain when fighting. Although Jaka Someh felt overwhelmed by the moves launched by karuhun eyes, but he was still able to survive and try to compensate for the karuhun eye-straight.

After fighting for a few hours without clarity, suddenly Esang karuhun jumped towards the back, stood upright to install his horses, he began to prepare the ultimate move to end the fight. He said to Jaka Someh,

“ Hahaha, do not think you are great also young people, I don't know how long I trained my science?  to face my brother and sister, now that my knowledge has reached the peak, his strength has also doubled, but really I did not expect, it turns out there are still people who are able to compensate for my knowledge, but really I did not expect,  though all this time there has never been anyone who can survive long with the moves I have. All right, young swordsman, now you accept my flagship study, aji sagara geni ! “

Eyang Karuhun immediately closed his eyes and began to concentrate himself. His lips seemed to be squawking about the incantations he had. After a while the karuhun eyes immediately attacked Jaka Someh with both palms while shouting loudly,

“Test sagara geni!  “

Jaka Someh felt the heat approaching him, he jumped high on a tree branch to avoid the attack. Eyang karuhun also immediately sucked his palm movement towards the tree where Jaka Someh perched. Jaka Someh also directly descended again to the ground. He was surprised that the tree that was used for beaching turned out to have been burned and turned into ash. Not lost his shock, he suddenly felt an attack from the right palm of the karuhun eye that had approached his body. Because it was difficult to avoid it, Jaka Someh was forced to withstand the attack with his right hand which he had filled with his inner strength. While his left hand hit the chest of the karuhun eyes that looked unprotected. Jaka Someh immediately retreated backwards due to a clash with the strength of the karuhun eyes, as well as the karuhun eyes whose chest was hit by the left hand of Jaka Someh, also retreated backward. Jaka Someh immediately staggered, his entire body feeling hot as if it was burning. His chest felt tight, his head became dizzy.

Fresh blood came out of his mouth.  Jaka Someh could no longer stand up. He immediately collapsed to the ground. His life instincts forced him to immediately leave the place. He immediately got up and immediately tried to escape even with a limped path while enduring the pain and heat from the attack of karuhun eyes. Jaka Someh is no longer concerned about what happened with Karuhun's eye that was hit by a blow to his left hand. All he thought about at that moment was trying to get away from that place in order to survive.

Because he was no longer able to pay attention to the surrounding conditions, Jaka Someh slipped and fell to the hillside. He also fainted unconscious.
