Jaka Someh's
Chapter 22. Stories of the Past.
It has been almost two years Jaka Someh studied to ki Thiban, both religious and medical studies. Jaka Someh now has a pretty good knowledge in herbal medicine.
From Ki Thiban he also knew about the origin of the karuhun swordsman. It is said that there were 4 magic warriors who protected Prabu Geusan Ulun, King of Sumedang Larang. The four warriors came from the Kingdom of Padjajaran which later moved because the kingdom of Padjajaran had been defeated by the sultanate of Cirebon. The four warriors named Eyang Jaya Perkasa, Embah Nambi, Embah famous Hapa, and Embah Eggplant Peot, they also became loyal bodyguards for Prabu Geusan Ulun. Once Prabu Geusan Ulun was at odds with the queen Panembahan, the Sultan of Cirebon. Actually they still have family relations but because the ulun geusan is considered to have taken his legal wife Panembahan Ratu, then there was a conflict. Prabu Geusan Ulun himself actually did not intend to seize the wife of Panembahan queen named nyi mas Harisbaya. Nyi mas harisbaya himself who went with Prabu geusan ulun. Though Ulun geusan himself had rejected it, but because Nyi Mas Harisbaya threatened to commit suicide if Prabu Geusan Ulun refused it, then Prabu Geusan ulun forced to accept Nyi Mas harisbaya. War was finally inevitable because it concerns the honor of self and the good name of the queen who has been tarnished by Prabu geusan Ulun who is considered to have taken his wife.
Prabu Geusan Ulun also intends to move the capital of his kingdom to a place that would otherwise be unknown to the Cirebon sultanate. This situation turned out to be used by the mighty Eyang to avenge his old revenge against the sultanate of Cirebon who had defeated the Kingdom of Padjajaran. He asked his three brothers to look after Prabu Geusan ulun, while he himself would face the troops of the cirebon sultanate alone.
Eyang Jaya Perkasa then planted a Hanjuang tree, after he advised Prabu Geusan ulun and his three brothers to remain calm and not be afraid of attacks from the cirebon sultanate troops, he said, he asked Prabu Geusan Ulun not to move his royal capital unless he saw the hanjuang tree he had planted dead. If the Hanjuang Tree is still alive then it means that Eyang jaya Mighty is still alive and won the war, but on the contrary if the hanjuang tree he planted was dead then it means he has also died in the war, well if this hanjuang tree dies, then Prabu geusan Ulun can also move the capital of his kingdom to other places. After fighting alone against the Cirebon sultanate forces, it turns out that the mighty eyang jaya won the war. But because his desire to slaughter the cirebon troops so high, he continued to pursue the remnants of the cirebon army that was actually already ragged kacir.
Because the old Mighty Eyang Jaya did not come too, then Prabu Geusan Ulun was worried, then at the suggestion of Embah Nambahan, Prabu geusan Ulun finally moved his royal capital to a place. When the mighty Eyang returned to Sumedang Larang it turned out that the royal capital was empty, Prabu Geusan ulun and his three brothers had stepped down.
While Embah Kondang hapa who was injured turned out to be saved by Ki sapri, his grandfather ki Thiban. Embah Kondang Hapa is what then occupies the hill and becomes the Pendekar karuhun. While the eggplant Peot is not known what kind of fate, whether still alive or dead. Knowing the story even Someh felt amazed by the greatness of Eyang Jaya Perkasa as well as regretting the vindictive nature of Eyang jaya Perkasa.
