"What do you mean, young man? What is strange?", asked Begawan Tirta Wening while looking at Arya Pethak who was observing the course of the fight between two old grandfathers named Resi Sukmajati and Dandang Gendis.
"It's okay old man,
Only I have seen Keris Mpu Gandring in the hands of others, not that old geezer who was there" Arya Pethak replied immediately.
"Is it true what you said?
All this time old grandfather is famous for having the keris Mpu Gandring in his hands" said Begawan Tirta Wening half in disbelief hearing Arya Pethak's words.
"I was never taught to lie to my parents by my father, my grandfather.
Believe it or not it's none of my business, the important thing is that I've said the truth", Arya Pethak continues to look towards the fight between Resi Sukmajati and Dandang Gendis.
"During this time, the martial world only knew that the Sukmajati Rishis were the holders of the disaster-spreading heirloom, Pethak.
But in recent times there has also appeared a young girl who is also holding a weapon that is said to be Mpu Gandring keris.
I am increasingly confused to think about the various possibilities of the emergence of this fake heirloom.
Looks like someone deliberately made a fuss in the martial world. Because Keris Mpu Gandring is one of the symbols of the highest power holder in the throne of the Singhasari kingdom" said Begawan Tirta Wening whose eyes continue to look towards the fight of Resi Sukmajati and Dandang Gendis.
Resi Sukmajati darted fast while beating his keris towards Dandang Gendis.
Sreeetttt
A series of yellowish-red rays rushed towards Dandang Gendis. But the middle-aged man was not a random person. Quickly, Dandang Gendis leapt high into the air avoiding the rays emanating from the heirloom keris in the hands of Resi Sukmajati.
Whuuummm...
Blammmm!!!
The yellowish red light from the heirloom keris hit the waru tree behind Dandang Gendis. The waru tree instantly exploded and caught fire as the yellowish-red radiance struck it.
Seeing the opponent being able to dodge his attacks, Resi Sukmajati continued to hunt.
Resi Sukmajati attack after attack was successfully avoided by Dandang Gendis.
There have been dozens of their mainstay moves, but none of them show signs of losing.
Resi Sukmajati again swung his heirloom keris.
Whuuuttt
A yellowish-red light rushed towards Dandang Gendis. Again the middle-aged man moved quickly avoiding the rays from the heirloom dagger.
Damn, the yellowish red light shot quickly towards Arya Pethak and his friends who were watching the fight between two tough heroes of the martial world.
"Awas!!", cried Arya Pethak as she grabbed Paramita's body and Gayatri dodged the yellowish-red rays that hit them. Begawan Tirta Wening jumped away while Lembu Supa immediately pulled Badrawati's hand and Mahesa Cemeng dodged the stray attack.
Blammmm!!!
The appearance of Arya Pethak and his friends made the attention of the two men who were fighting was divided. They immediately stopped the fight by taking a distance of 4 spears.
"There are some sneaks peeking at our fight, Dandang Gendis.
You know them?", asked Resi Sukmajati to Dandang Gendis who was also staring at the newly emerging herd.
"Old grandfather, old man,
Aren't you the God of Medicine of the South?", Dandang Gendis stared at Begawan Tirta Wening who was walking near Arya Pethak. The handsome young man had just taken down Paramita and Gayatri.
"If so why?
Indiscriminate to attack people without thinking long", muttered Begawan Tirta Wening while glaring at Resi Sukmajati.
"Hehehe..
I'm sorry God of Medicine, I was aiming for that Goddamn Dandang Gendis' head. Do not see if you are there" said Resi Sukmajati who chuckled little to the annoyance of Begawan Tirta Wening.
"Huh the basis of the Pikun Resi..
Almost hurt people but even laugh as good as his udel. You guys are old but still like little boys.
What are you fighting for until you complain of life like that ha?", Begawan Tirta Wening snapped at Sukmajati Resi who still holds his heirloom keris.
"Just ask Dandang Gendis,
He had already pissed me off half to death from yesterday", sighed Resi Sukmajati as she stared intently at Dandang Gendis who was still on full alert.
"The two rangos are forcing me to join the gathering of the warriors at the full-fledged Gangsy Mountain tomorrow, the God of Medicine.
I told you that I have important business to Kadiri, uh he still forced me to accompany him", said Dandang Gendis who was furious because he was disturbed.
"Warrior's meeting?
Isn't that forbidden to be held? As I recall that 2 more warsa meeting was forbidden by Sri Maharaja Kertanegara", said the God of Medicine from the South while stroking his whitened beard. His forehead frowned in surprise at the news.
"There is news that mentions that the Sky Sword Padepokan held a meeting over the new yuwaraja Kadiri seijin.
Therefore all the warriors were invited to attend the event.
But it was actually not the meeting that caught my attention, the God of Medicine", Resi Sukmajati immediately sheathed her heirloom keris.
"What kind of place do you want to be there, old Rishi?", asked Begawan Tirta Wening as he looked towards Resi Sukmajati who was walking closer to him.
"I heard that recently, there appeared a female swordsman holding Keris Mpu Gandring. Reportedly he was a student from Padepokan Bukit Lanjar in the North.
Not only that, there is also news that mentions that the Swordsman of Mount Wilis, Gubar Winongan has an heirloom keris similar to the keris Mpu Gandring.
This confuses me, the God of Medicine..
Keris Mpu Gandring all this time in my hands, but why many sprung some heirlooms on behalf of Keris Mpu Gandring?", said Resi Sukmajati while staring at Begawan Tirta Wening.
Hmmmm
"It's not just you who saw this mess, old Rishi..
The young man also saw that someone else was holding an heirloom keris which was Keris Mpu Gandring.
It's increasingly making a big question mark in my mind, old Rishi. It seems like someone is fishing in murky water" said Begawan Tirta Wening while pointing at Arya Pethak who was justifying the bundle of cloth containing his clothes.
Both Resi Sukmajati and Dandang Gendis immediately turned their heads towards Arya Pethak.
"Young man, come here", call Dandang Gendis to Arya Pethak. The handsome young man immediately walked up to the three old geezers.
"What's the matter old uncle?
Is there anything we need to talk about?", asked Arya Pethak politely.
"I heard you've seen people who have Keris Mpu Gandring.
Where did you see?", Dandang Gendis looked at Arya Pethak's face. For a moment he frowned, as if meeting someone he knew.
"Then, at the foot of Kahayunan Hill, I had seen someone who had the same heirloom dagger that the old man had.
When I asked, he said it was Keris Mpu Gandring", Arya Pethak replied immediately. Although he is not straightforward but he keeps himself from all possible situations.
"Do you know what the name of the person is?", said Resi Sukmajati who was staring at Arya Pethak.
"I don't know what his name is, old man. What was clear was that she was wearing hermit clothes with a thick beard that had grown gray", Arya Pethak immediately turned to look at Paramita who was walking closer to her.
Hmmmm
"Some people want to disrupt the martial world in Java.
The appearance of some of these fake Mpu Gandring keris will make the world a murky retreat again.
This cannot be allowed", muttered Dandang Gendis as he stared at the clear sky.
"That's your business, I have nothing to do with it.
Now if you'll excuse me, there's something important that I need to work on" said the Southern God of Medicine aka Begawan Tirta Wening as he stepped towards his horse.
"Wait for the God of Medicine, please,
Where are you going?", asked Resi Sukmajati immediately.
There is an important affair with Mahesa Parut. Wh why? You want to come?", Begawan Tirta Wening immediately jumped on his horse.
Phuihhhh
"Don't let me meet an ungrateful person like him.
I'm going to Mount Gangsir, the God of Medicine. If there is time after me there", said Resi Sukmajati while turning around.
"Two bangka,
I'm coming with you", Dandang Gendis immediately followed the quick footsteps of Resi Sukmajati who darted fast like flying in the air. The middle-aged man immediately disappeared from everyone's sight towards the passing of Resi Sukmajati.
Meanwhile, Begawan Tirta Wening and Paramita immediately pounded their horses across the highway leading to the Passage.
The Blue Flower School students tailed behind them, with Arya Pethak.
Arriving in the city of Simputura, Lembu Supa bought a horse for the Arya Pethak rides so that their journey faster to Kadiri.
"How much is this horse worth, uncle?", asked Arya Pethak to the Cow Supa.
"Not expensive, only 5 pieces of silver. We're lucky to have a horse this good for such a low price.
Usually the price can be 10 pieces of silver, but maybe the owner needed the money so he sold half the price", replied Cow Supa with a smile knot.
Arya Pethak immediately stroked the horse's head. Somehow the dark horse was tamed to Arya Pethak.
They immediately continued their journey. On the west side of Pakuwon city of Surpendutura, they stopped at a fairly crowded food stall.
After tethering the horse to the deck beside the courtyard of the food stall, they immediately enter and enjoy the dishes served by the food stall.
After paying for the food, they came out of the food stall.
A fat man in fine clothes, decorated like a rich man, stood outside the food stall. His eyes continued to stare towards Arya Pethak's horse which was still tied in the deck. 4 the thick-bodied man who seemed to be the fat man's bodyguard stared fiercely at Arya Pethak who walked up to the new horse in the buy Cow Supa.
"So you stole my horse, rancid young man?
A young man is already a thief", the fat man shouted immediately.
Arya Pethak immediately turned to look at the fat man with a questioning look.
"What do you mean, cow bunting?
Do not just talk", said Arya Pethak while glancing at the fat man.
"Who is speaking carelessly? The horse you were holding was mine last night, missing from the cage.
If you're not the thief, should I accuse anyone else?", the fat man won't lose.
"Uncle Supa bought it from someone in the eastern city of Pakuwon Superpura.
So be careful with your mouth, if you don't want to beat people up", hardik Arya Pethak who began to grow furious.
"True Pethak,
It's like playing indiscriminate accusation. What is the proof that this is your horse? I bought it with my money", said Cow Supa who was also hot to hear the fat man's words.
"It seems they're plotting, Juragan Karto.
We just beat them up, how?", whispered a fat male bodyguard called the Karto master.
"Good, okay,
The four of you, catch the horse thief. Later I will give you a gift" said Juragan Karto soon.
Hearing the word gift, the four bodyguards of Juragan Karto immediately jumped towards Arya Pethak and Lembu Supa while pulling out their respective weapons.
The stock that was wielding a sword, rushed straight towards Arya Pethak. His sword swung towards the neck of Mpu Prawira's son quickly.
Sreeetttt
Arya Pethak immediately bowed his head while turning away the sabre. Quickly, the handsome young man immediately swung the elbow of his right hand towards the bully's heart.
Deshhhhhh
Ougghhh
The stock staggered backwards. His heart felt like it was going to break. Seeing his friend retreat, the brewok immediately beat his machete, targeting the head of Arya Pethak who just made the stocky retreat.
Whuuuttt
Arya Pethak twitched to the right side, then the handsome young man's snore darted quickly towards the stomach of the brewok.
Deshhhhhh
Aaarrghhh
The brewpub slammed backwards and hit the ground hard. His stomach was like a big wooden block, sick not playing.
Meanwhile, Lembu Supa also managed to knock down his opponent.
Seeing his men falling, the look on Juragan Karto's face turned pale instantly.
"Religator,
What do we want this bunting cow?", asked Lembu Supa with a cynical smile.
"We'll just cut him uncle..
Let's not just play indiscriminate accusation. Horses can be the same color, accusing people of deserving a lesson" Arya Pethak replied with a broad grin.
Hearing that answer, Juragan Karto wet his bed so scared. The fat man immediately knelt down for forgiveness.
"Forgive me, swordsman..
I wrongly accused people. Please forgive me. I promise not to indiscriminately accuse people without evidence" Juragan Karto said while prostrating to Arya Pethak and Lembu Supa.
While they were still engrossed in playing with Juragan Karto, from behind came a voice.
"Have you been satisfied not to play?"
