The Musafir
Truth Does Not Exist from Politics
Mantingan took a long breath. If he is looking for another college, then the risk of him becoming a dangerous swordsman in the future will be even greater. What if others did not know of Mantingan's talent of being a villain? What if later the Mantingan can not control lust and then fall into error? But wouldn't he be able to avenge Rara's death?
To him at the moment, it was as if nothing was more important before Rara's death was avenged. But right now, Mantingan is faced with two decisions that will have a big effect on him in the future. The decision to forget and be a good human being, or the decision to take revenge and become a man?
“Uncle Shop ...” The mantel draws its breath. “I'm willing to forget about revenge and learn from you!”
The mantle bersawang in front of Uncle Kedai. The old man smiled full of haru. In his heart, he was happy, because this was what he wanted from a Mantingan, who had the blood of a black fighter. This was also what convinced the old man to educate the Mantingan wholeheartedly, Mantingan has managed to conquer his greatest lust at the moment.
Uncle Kedai patted the back of Mantingan, saying loudly, “You Mantingan, from now on you are my student and I am your teacher! You have an obligation as a student and I have an obligation as a teacher, fulfill it!”

Of course, teaching and learning activities cannot be carried out on that day. The store said that the shop was not a good training ground. They went to a great mountain not far from there. I don't know the name of the mountain. They did not know it, so neither did they turn it around.
Mantingan and Uncle Kedai took about two days to reach the mountain. In one of the areas facing east there is a cave. If the cave is safe, then the Shop decided to start training Mantingan there.
They did not bring any supplies into the cave, other than the supplies in the bundle of Mantingan. After all, Kedai said that the food business would be an easy affair.
The first exercise is breathing exercises. The mantle sat cross-legged, then was ordered to observe his own airway. Uncle Kedai said that breathing plays a big role in regulating the way of the mind. This breathing exercise also helps him to think calmly.
The practice goes on without much, pausing for a full moon.
May Mantingan think faster and more calmly than usual. The originally hard face now began to soften, along with the calmness of the mind. Those who see Mantingan will surely think that Mantingan is a learned man, or even a philosopher.
The second exercise is still breathing exercises, but this time the exercise is not done just by sitting cross-legged. The mantle must keep control of its breath in any situation. As he walked, he was required to pay attention to his airway in addition to the path in front of him. Even when running Mantingan need to adjust his airway.
Maybe the exercise sounds easy, but in fact it is very complicated if done. There is no technique or ordinance regarding this, therefore Mantingan must also do a deep introduction to himself. He had to find his own suitable ordinance for him, while his teacher only gave the basics.

Once upon a time Mantingan got the full information about the actual White Wind College. For a long time Mantingan asked this, but only answered by his teacher when he was about to enter the third level of training.
“White Wind Migration is not a misguided college like what people commonly call it. Quite the contrary, this White Wind College is the only one in Javadvipa, not even impossible the only one in Dwipantara, which still maintains the science of Truth.”
“What kind of Truth is it, Kiai Guru?”
“Truths that have existed in Nusantara, Mantingan. Even this teaching outlined will succeed in its timeline. This truth comes from one, The Truth. Nusantara used to always maintain the science of truth until the time of its rise arrived.”
"Would we know that truth is triumphant?"
"When all aspects of life come from the Truth, and use the Truth for its life. The success of Truth was marked by the collapse of man-made rule, and was replaced with a government derived from Gusti. Truth Rules. Because indeed, this Truth cannot be separated from politics if it wants to succeed."
“There will be time, Mantingan.” Smiling shop. “Today's turn Successful error.”
The mantle frowned confusedly. “Isn't that heresy Gusti hated the most?”
“Ya, right.”
“Why doesn't Gusti just destroy the Fallacy and replace it with Truth?”
The Mantin thought, If he had misguided things that He hated, then why has the error still prevailed to this day? Mantingan certainly see the situation, that indeed the current condition is not too good. Look at how people kill ordinary people just to gain power. And see how well-being can only be enjoyed by certain circles, while the remaining small circles unconsciously enslave themselves for the welfare of those circles.
In this cave, Mantingan felt endless peace and well-being. Food is abundant in nature around it. The absence of severe worldly problems made Mantingan feel a peace that he had never felt before. Perhaps this is the reason why humans are always eager to climb mountains, they want to feel peace. This is also the reason why Kiai Guru Kedai chose the mountain as a training ground.
But still in the end, Mantingan will go down the mountain later, dabbling again on worldly problems.
“Gusti gives turn for Heresy to reign anyway. He has outlined the time of the rise of power and the collapse of power. As human beings, we can only accept that with a chest of air. If today we live when the Apostasy was given a turn of power by Gusti, then enjoy it even if it means suffering.
"Because if there is no error, then man cannot realize what the Truth really is. And humans will live like animals. Just look at animals, they live without regard to heretics and right. So they live like that."
The mantle nodded slowly. “If the Truth is in power, then we must follow that Truth, right?”
“Ya, right.”
“How about if Misguidance is in power, do we have to follow it so misguided as well?”
Smiling shop. “No, Mantingan. Man must continue to believe the Truth, even though the world is in error. Because Truth comes from Gusti, while Misguidance is made by man.”
Frowning mantle. “Didn't that heresy come from the Devil?”
“The devil is just a parable, for a man who refuses to submit to Gusti.” The shop fixed his sitting position. “Have you had enough of his understanding of Truth and Heresy?”
“Yes, if so, Kiai Guru.”
“Explain briefly to me, before we continue the discussion about White Wind College!”
Mantian nodded. “Truth and Misguidance are two different things, and each is given a turn to power. Truth comes from Gusti, while Heresy comes from man. And right now, it looks like heresy is in power.” Mantingan sighed. “Kiai Guru, when will Truth reign?”
The shop thought for a moment, then replied, “I don't know that for sure, but I expect the Truth to rise 200 more years.”
The mantel laughed softly. “That means I have to enjoy suffering until the end of life.”
