Strength Outside The Keraton Wall

Last Practice And Traveling Again

While giving an example of movement, Ki Ageng Arisboyo gave an explanation.

"Most warriors, once the flow of his inner strength is accumulated in a certain part of the body that is to attack, they will release and push it towards the opponent. The greater the internal power possessed, the greater the energy wave produced. Usually not only hit the target point, but also affect other body parts. Even sometimes to impact on places around the target. This, in addition to being destructive, is also wasteful of energy in. It can be likened to releasing the breath with the mouth wide open, or pushing air with a fan.

For example, the inner energy that has accumulated in certain body parts to attack, it is first compacted with the techniques you learn. Those waves of energy that had been solidified would be shaped like the place where it was gathered. Suppose collected in the palm of the hand, once released and pushed, that out waves of hand-shaped energy. And will only hit the intended target. It will not spread to other parts of the body or places around the target. Because it is compacted and centered on the target, the explosive power of the energy wave will be greater many times. It can be likened to releasing the breath with the mouth like a person whistling, or pushing the mouth air with chopsticks. The outflow of energy, small, might only be a speck, but its power was enormous. So that the effect can save energy in the spent. Up here can you understand, Latitude ?" Ki Ageng Arisboyo ended his explanation by asking Lintang Rahina.

"Hopefully I can understand Ki" replied Lintang Rahina.

Later Lintang Rahina trained with techniques taught by Ki Ageng Arisboyo.

Moving the exercise site, it also aims to absorb energy from nature. Practicing on the beach is to absorb water energy especially from the waves of sea water. Practice on the cliffs to absorb wind energy. Practice during the day to absorb the heat energy of the sun.

After training for almost a month, Lintang Rahina felt her strength increase by leaps and bounds. It is not only his inner energy that is experiencing an increase. His physical strength also increased.

In his heart Lintang Rahina is very grateful to get the opportunity to be trained by Ki Ageng Arisboyo.

In every match practice, Lintang has begun to be able to compensate Ki Ageng Arisboyo. Lintang Rahina only lost in maturity and experience.

So too with Sekar Ayu Ningrum. He also experienced a great increase. His speed increased, his inner power also increased.

For almost a month, due to frequent joint exercises, the familiarity between Lintang Rahina and Sekar Ayu Ningrum. Lintang Rahina also often gave advice and input to Sekar Ayu Ningrum.

Until one morning, after it was felt that Lintang Rahina was already very proficient in the techniques taught, Ki Ageng Arisboyo considered enough for Lintang Rahina to practice.

"Lintang, all the techniques and all that I could have taught you. Today I consider enough of your training. Because the important thing is the practice, which is to donate your knowledge to society, to help others and do good. What are your plans then ?" ki Ageng asked Arisboyo after explaining a few things.

"I don't have a specific goal. So I just continued the journey" replied Lintang Rahina.

"Well, whenever you want, you can continue your journey. Because after this, I will also go, see your grandfather," said Ki Ageng Arisboyo.

"Thank you Ki. For his guidance all along. Lintang will pack first," replied Lintang Rahina.

Lintang Rahina also began to pack. Not to forget Lintang Rahina said goodbye to Sekar Ayu Ningrum.

"Sik Sekar, this afternoon kakang will continue the journey," Lintang Rahina said goodbye.

"Rear, can I travel with Kakang Lintang ?" asked Sekar Ayu Ningrum who was shocked because Lintang Rahina was about to leave.

"Most importantly, Sekar's sister must get permission from grandfather," said Lintang Rahina.

Not waiting long, Sekar Ayu Ningrum also asked permission to Ki Ageng Arisboyo his grandfather.

"Actually Grandpa wants to take you to Merbabu. But if Lintang is willing to follow you, grandfather allow it" said Ki Ageng Arisboyo.

"Good Ki. Lintang will always try to keep Sekar's sister," replied Lintang Rahina.

At noon, Lintang Rahina and Sekar Ayu Ningrum said goodbye to Ki Ageng Arisboyo. They started their journey.

Sekar Ayu Ningrum felt very happy, because it could taste the taste of wandering, after having always lived with his grandfather since childhood and only met the beach residents, it was very rare. Now Sekar Ayu Ningrum has the opportunity to meet more people and get to know more places.

"Rear Latitude, where are we going ?" ask Sekar Ayu Ningrum.

"The back doesn't know the sister either. We follow where the foot goes. We're going in the direction from where the sun's just rising. Said Eyang first, in the direction of sunrise the area is very broad," replied Lintang Rahina.

"Just go with the leg. Now come along" said Sekar again.

Eventually the two of them traveled east.

Far off the coast, southeast of Mount Lawu, padepokan Ki Rekso some days look crowded, other than the usual day.

Padepokan Ki Rekso is currently the meeting place of group Ki Rekso and his friends.

There have been senior figures of the age with Ki Rekso, among others Ki Brata and his students named Galuh Pramusita, Ki Pratanda, Kawungka.

They are still waiting for the arrival of Ki Jiwo and his student Arga Manika who is said to still have the blood of Majapahit breed descendants.

They are also waiting for someone who is reportedly a representative of the ruler of brang wetan (the eastern region) who wants to stay with the old kingdom.

They all sat on a large pendopo. The pendopo is located in the middle of the padepokan.

"Ki Rekso, this meeting will start when ?" Ki Brata asked.

"He he he... Patience Ki Brata, we wait for the arrival of Ki Jiwo and his students first. And there will come a senopati from the east, who is present as a representative of the ruler of the eastern region," replied Ki Rekso.

After waiting for some time, came Ki Jiwo with his student, a big and tall young man named Arga Manika.

While waiting for representatives from the rulers of the eastern region, they enjoyed their meeting. Because after all, they were friends since they were young and equally devoted as elite warriors 'Adhyasta Bhumi'.

The difference was some time, there were also representatives from the rulers of the eastern region called 'Rangga Kaniten'.
