Night Eagle Swordsman

The Beetle Tiger

The afternoon. The shabby white-clothed grandfather stopped at the end of the road towards Kademangan Pandan Ireng. The puguh is lowered from her pelvis and placed against a tree that grows by the roadside.

By kneading a few places on his nape and head, the grandfather made Puguh regained consciousness.

Puguh who had awakened, turned to his left right. A while later, Puguh could understand, he was now near where he lived.

"Ngger, don't be afraid. I'm a human being just like you, too" said the grandfather.

For some time, Puguh was still terrified. However, hearing the old man's words, his fear diminished.

"Ngger, do you want to go back to your village, or do you accompany your grandfather ?" ask the grandfather patiently.

With courage, Puguh replied, "I .. I, want to go home to the cake."

Then Puguh got up and tried to run towards the gate of Kademangan.

"Ngger, if you change your mind, you want to come with grandfather, you come to the tree earlier," said the grandfather seemed to speak near Puguh's ear.

Puguh turned his head for a while towards the white-clothed grandfather, then again ran into the Kademangan gate.

If anyone else saw the way Puguh ran, that person would be surprised. A child of Puguh's age can run as fast as a horse. But Puguh had not realized his condition. In his heart and mind there was only one thing. He wants to meet up with his symbol soon.

"Hopefully all the things that have been experienced, shape him into a tough child and not easily complain and give up" said the grandfather slowly.

Suddenly the grandfather's body vanished, leaving only a slight rustling sound. In the distance, his body flashed rapidly. A moment later, his body had completely vanished into the darkness of the night.

Without Puguh realizing, when the grandfather in shabby white clothes knocked on some parts of Puguh's body that fell from the tree. Grandpa wasn't just knocking.

In addition to aiming to correct the position of the bones of Puguh's body, the grandfather also opened the knot of the knot of energy flow that was still blocked.

By touching some parts of his body, the grandfather can know, if the body of Puguh without realizing it, can form energy like a martial artist. But he could not keep it in his body. Therefore, the white-clothed grandfather opened several knots of nerve and muscle knots, but only in a few places adjusted to the ability of Puguh, at the age and state of Puguh's body at this time.

Arriving at his room, Puguh went straight up to the bed and covered his body with a potluck cloth.

Cowering obliquely, Puguh tried to string event after event into his memory.

When his memory arrived at the moment when his symbol was hit by a machete dressed and wearing a black face cover, Puguh suddenly woke up and ran to the door.

While opening the door, Puguh called out his symbol.

"Mmd ! Standby ! Go home mbok !" yelled Puguh puzzled.

Puguh ran away from her room towards the door towards 'Dalem Ageng', going back and forth many times.

Finally Puguh exhausted, fell and unconscious on the porch of his room.

On the morning of the next day, Ki Poyo who was sitting on the edge of the cot where Puguh was lying muttered softly.

"Pity this little Puguh. At this age, she has lost both her parents. May his heart and soul be strong" Ki Poyo said very slowly.

Ki Poyo lifted and moved Puguh on his bedroom couch.

In his stings, Puguh repeatedly delirious. He screamed a scream calling his symbology, then cried.

Puguh is having a cheer. His entire body was hot, yet his body was shivering like cold.

Finally Ki Poyo waited for Puguh while compressing Puguh's forehead with 'faced serep' leaves planted on the edge of the side yard.

After a while, Puguh finally woke up. The first thing to do is to cry and call the symbol.

Ki Poyo who heard that, his heart was very trenchant and could only comfort Puguh to stop crying.

The next day, Puguh lives with Ki Poyo and is treated like Ki Poyo's own son.

They both began to act as usual. In between the activities of taking care of horses and carriages, Ki Poyo taught Puguh the basic basic science of kanuragan that he could.

Ki Poyo silently silently felt amazed by Puguh. Although still small, but taught anything, especially about the science of canuragan, very quickly understand it. In addition, Puguh never complained, no matter how heavy the exercise was given and also never looked exhausted every practice of canuragan science.

In addition, Ki Poyo also told a lot of stories. Including about competition and disputes between the Duchy to fight for the influence and attention of the Duchy.

From the story of Ki Poyo as well, Puguh learned that Den Roro and Den Bagus and Ki Demang Pandan Ireng survived the blockade on the Duchy border.

At that time, the ability of canuragan science was highly valued. Starting from the basic level, medium to high, everything is valuable according to the level.

Each of the rulers of an area, such as racing to get people with qualified martial skills.

So sometimes there are rulers who hold martial skills fighting matches to find people who are martial arts experts with the lure of the prize money or position of office in the army.

For certain positions of office in the army, the rulers sometimes choose from the descendants of the rulers of the region below. The goal, to get a qualified martial expert, bloody noble and also to bind the loyalty and loyalty of the rulers of the region below him.

It makes the ruler of the region, from the smallest area or village very excited to include his descendants to the padepokan padepokan.

So is Ki Demang Pandan Ireng. Due to the trust given by the ruler of the Langitan Duchy, Raden Tumenggung Suryo Langit to supply foodstuffs, had triggered feelings of envy and displeasure from the other Kademangan.

So Ki Demang Pandan Ireng sent his boys, Den Bagus and Den Roro to Padepokan 'Macan Beetles' to learn canuragan.

In fact, in the Duchy of Langitan there are several padepokan canuragan science. But for some reason, Ki Demang Pandan Ireng chose to put his two children into the Tiger Beetle Padepokan.

Den Roro insisted on joining, because it had often seen the soldiers of Kademangan practicing and interested in the science of kanuragan.

It turns out that Den Bagus and Den Roro also want Puguh to come with them to live in 'Macan Beetle'. It had become commonplace at that time, if there were children or ruling families studying in a padepokan, would invite one or several people to take care of their daily needs.

Finally, on the planned day, Puguh accompanied Den Bagus and Den Roro left for Padepokan Tiger Beetles, escorted by Ki Poyo and accompanied by one of the emban.
