Strength Outside The Keraton Wall

Puspa Nagari

"Tell me what your goal is to be my student, boy," asked Empu Bajang Geni.

"I want to be more powerful, grandfather," replied Arga Manika.

"Your abilities are already at a high level. Why do you still want to be more powerful ?" asked Empu Bajang Geni again as his two eyeballs turned round like people were thinking.

"I want revenge cake," replied Arga Manika with a bit of worry, the answer was not pleasing to Empu Bajang Geni.

"Cake cake cake cake .... " Empu Bajang Geni laughed as his right hand launched a black energy that hit Arga Manika's head. A moment Arga Manika was in pain, after which, she felt an energy break through her head.

"I like your aura. I love your vengeful aura," said Empu Bajang Geni while pulling again his black energy from Arga Manika's head.

Empu Bajang Geni looked at Galuh Pramusita for a moment, then turned his head again towards Arga Manika and said, "I wait for you on the cliff of 'Bekkung Rock' there. Remember, have to get there before the sun sets, or you'll be bullied by that creature, the cake cake cake cake ..."

Plasssttt !!!

Suddenly, Empu Bajang Geni darted away and left only his laughter.

Galuh Pramusita who was still confused looked towards Arga Manika with a face full of questions.

Arga Manika who was stared at so finally said, "Empu Bajang Geni is very powerful dik. By learning from him, we have a chance to avenge the teacher's death."

"You sure you want to go to that place ?" ask Galuh Pramusita.

"The back is steady want to study with Empu Bajang Geni," replied Arga Manika, "sister Galuh still follow the leg right ?"

"I am confused" answered Galuh Pramusita.

"We have come this far, brother" said Arga Manika again, "If Galuh's sister returns out of the forest, you can not bear to let Galuh's sister out of the forest alone. While the kakang had promised Empu Bajang Geni to become his disciple and had to go to 'Batu Concave' before the sun sank. Galuh's sister should join the leg to 'Bedung Rock' only."

"All right, brother," replied Galuh Pramusita who did not want Arga Manika to fail.

Not long later they both exert the science of lightening the body to be able to get to the cliffs of 'Bekung Rock' appointed by Empu Bajang Geni.

Lintang Rahina and Sekar Ayu Ningrum, accompanied by Nyi Wilis, arrived at the foot of Mount Semeru. Lintang Rahina invited a short stop when they reached the edge of the forest, because there was something that Lintang Rahina wanted to convey.

There are things that during the trip to the place Ni Sriti berbersit in the mind Lintang Rahina.

Before heading to Mount Lawu, Lintang Rahina hopes Nyi Wilis is willing to hold a bond with Sekar Ayu Ningrum.

After they get a comfortable place to rest for a while, Lintang Rahina conveys what she expected to Nyi Wilis and Sekar Ayu Ningrum.

Because they feel familiar and already know each other's strengths, Nyi Wilis and Sekar Ayu Ningrum agree with Lintang Rahina's advice.

After the process of making a bond between Nyi Wilis and Sekar Ayu Ningrum was completed, Nyi Wilis entered into the Lintang Rahina ring worn by Sekar Ayu Ningrum.

The latitude of Rahina and Sekar Ayu Ningrum left the edge of the forest.

When they arrived at the grassland that was not too wide, the wind suddenly blew a bit hard. Along with the strong gust of wind, Latitude Rahina heard a voice that was like whispering in her ear.

"Ngger, for the perfection of knowledge that you have, look for temple buildings that are not far from this meadow. There you will find the book 'Puspa Nagari'. Study carefully, because the book can only be studied once, because after that the book will be destroyed by itself. Good luck."

As soon as the whisper in the ear disappeared, the wind that was blowing a bit faster was slowly disappearing.

Then Lintang Rahina told Sekar Ayu Ningrum, that they would search the temple building first before continuing the journey.

Sekar Ayu Ningrum said that even though he actually still did not understand what happened.

Not long later they found a temple-shaped building. The temple was not very big, but rather tall.

Lintang Rahina climbed the stone steps of the temple and arrived at her in a room that measured five by five meters. While Sekar Ayu Ningrum stopped at the entrance of the room.

The latitude looked around the room. On all the surfaces of the walls of the room were sculpted various kinds of carvings that formed images of human images with various movements, draw a picture that forms like a certain pattern pattern and many lines of short lines that seem like letters.

In the memories of Lintang Rahina that seemed as if she had experienced it before, Lintang Rahina released her energy on both her palms. Then both of his hands were pulled up with his palms facing upwards.

From both palms of Latitude Rahina came out a luminescence of light that was like a small grain of golden yellow that quickly filled the entire room.

Suddenly the surface of the four walls of the room also issued the same beam of light.

In Rahina's Latitude vision, the four walls turned into a book sheet containing images of humans with movement and position of certain movements. And there is also writing that seems to be related to the picture image.

Carefully and carefully, Lintang Rahina read and observed all the writings and images on the four walls of the room.

Then Lintang Rahina repeated back from the beginning to read and observe everything. This time Lintang Rahina immediately followed and tried all the movements and words written on the wall of the room.

Feeling still have time, Lintang Rahina repeated the second time reading and doing the movement movement as depicted on the four walls and trying to string it into a continuous movement movement.

Because trying to remember what he had read and seen, Lintang Rahina accidentally did a series of movements with her eyes closed.

As if I had done it before, Lintang Rahina smoothly made movements like those depicted on the wall.

Without Lintang Rahina noticing, her entire body emitted a golden yellow glow. The luminance of the four walls was as if it had been detached and fused with the luminescence of light coming out of the body of the Lintang Rahina. Then the luminescence of the light faintly formed a pattern like the petals of a lotus flower surrounding the soles of the feet of the Lintang Rahina, so that the Lintang Rahina was seen to float with the petals of a flower petal.

As soon as she finished repeating as well as stringing all the movements depicted on the wall of the room, Lintang Rahina stopped her movements from reopening her eyes along with the golden-yellow energy glow entering her body.
