THE SUNAN BODYGUARD

episode 3d: Fresh Pool Water Becomes Clear

"So, son Rejo did a strange move in the corner of the pool, also as an effort to restore the water to clear?"

"really. What Rejo is doing now, is the same as what Rejo is doing in Jero Cliff Village. I ordered him to dig a pond, because God gave me a hunch, there will be a pagebluk in Jero Cliff Village. And it turns out that's right, it's a pagebluk."

"What does this have to do with changing the water in Fresh Pool?"

"Actually there is no. But, by doing movements such as digging, Rejo actually put his energy into the Fresh Pool water. It's just, he didn't realize. Actually, no need to do any movement, and just soak in the Fresh pond, can restore the color of the water. But, with the same movement repeated, it makes the diffuse inner energy even greater."

The five disciples of Syech Jumadil Kubro were stunned.

"So, the figure of the young man who is considered crazy people, is actually fighting science against the King of Wikramawardhana? Kanjeng Syech, who will win?"

"Of course, we all know the answer. If indeed King Kakang Wikramawardhana won, he would have served the fight in the palace. However, he could measure his own strength, as well as Rejo's strength. Moreover, after knowing Rejo was educated by Resi Swadaraya and Resi Hitu Dawiya simultaneously, the Wikramawardhana Resi chose to withdraw, for the sake of Majapahit. Only, he wanted to measure how firm Rejo's stance, desires, ideals, and hard work. That's all."

"So, in fact, the King knew that the young man was a chosen one?"

"true."

"If indeed the knowledge of the King's Afterlife lost, why did he not embrace Islam alone?"

"A person embraces Islam not only because of sheer will, but because of Allah's guidance. Like the five of you."

Everyone nodding.

"The king wants to embrace Islam or not, I don't know. Obviously, we often exchanged thoughts about each other's religion. I learned the Hindu way of Kakang Raja. While the knowledge of the king's brother about the religion of Islam, from me."

"So, actually Kakang Raja already knew about the religion of Islam. Even if he seems to not understand about the religion that just entered Java, it is just respecting his subordinates. Also respect Rejo. Actually, the king's brother already understood in outline."

"The King's back also had time to say, the religion of Islam without caste, all the same in the presence of Gods. This is actually the true religion, because not all the descendants of the king have good ethics, while not all sudra become maling. Indeed, were it not for my position as a hermit, and also King, I would have converted. If it happens right, of course Majapahit will be destroyed, and all subordinates will fight me. So said King Kakang Wikramawardhana."

"So, is there a chance that the King will embrace Islam like us?"

"not necessarily. The proof, until now he still embraced Hinduism. I met Kakang Raja, when he resigned from the throne of the kingdom, and became a hermit. We often talk about religion. Now, he has ascended the throne again, but his humble nature is still preserved, and the ascetic life is not abandoned."

"Anu, Kanjeng Syech, how long will Rejo do such a move?"

"I don't know, let's see how red the water is. Later, the color of the water will fade and slowly become clear. Once it becomes clear, the color of the water will become blue. That was the real fight. If Rejo can restore the color of the water from blue to clear again, then the fish that died in the Fresh Pool will come back to life."

"Oh yes, Kanjeng Syech. Indeed, a lot of fish died in Fresh pond, but did not rot and his body remains fresh. Up to now there are still many, and no one dares to take."

"Actually, the fish did not die. You just look like a dead fish. That's magic power. Well, Rejo's current job is to restore the color of the water to clear. When the water becomes blue later, Rejo must be able to neutralize magic so that the fish are free from the magic that Kakang Raja stocked. That's the real fight."

Five people nodded.

"I said earlier, that Kakang Raja was interested and justified the religion of Islam. And Kakang Raja saw Rejo as the chosen youth."

"True, Kanjeng Syech."

"That is the greatness and humility of the King. With this fight against Rejo, actually, Kakang Raja wants to leave his knowledge to Rejo. In this strange way of fighting. When Rejo soaks, then the energy in Rejo will spread in the Fresh Pool water. And when the pool water becomes clear, where does the red run?"

"Yes into Rejo's body."

He looked back and looked at Syech Jumadil Kubro.

"It was a science that Kakang Raja left to Rejo, without realizing it."

"Allahu akbar's. So, can you be sure that Rejo won this weird fight?"

"really. Not only will he win, but he will gain new knowledge and more and more energy."

"And you know, how can Rejo return the Fresh Pool water that is already blue later?"

"If Rejo forced the use of his knowledge, it would continue to fail. The blue water will be able to return to clear color, if Rejo uses his new knowledge obtained from Kakang King. That is, the science that is put slowly during the fight to restore the pool water from red to clear."

"Anu Kanjeng Syech, does Rejo want to know?"

"Yet. Let him find his own way."

The five converts who already knew Rejo's fight scenario, became curious. For that, almost every day these five people took the time to be present at the edge of Fresh Pool, to see what Rejo did in the pool whose water was red.

It is slowly every day the color of the pool water is no longer reddened. Slowly become clear. The changing color of this water has not been realized by the people on the edge of the pond, because most of the attention is focused on thousands of dead fish. Despite weeks of death, the fish did not rot. Including some rishis and warriors who tried to stay afloat in the pool. They even did tapa brata.

On the contrary, Rejo did not seem to care about his surroundings. Although people judged him to be a madman, or even a lot of people made fun of him, Rejo did not care. Rejo still doing the movement as if digging in the water, the corner of the pool. The sound of water lurching always accompanied Rejo's every move like digging up the ground.

"Truly a young man who is an idol, and believes what he is doing," said one convert, shaking his head.

They saw Rejo's efforts for weeks, as did some hermits and warriors who chose tapa brata around the pond. And the result, slowly the pool water becomes clearer.

Rejo has not stopped his habit. Every morning, he went into the pool water and headed to the corner, as well as doing movements such as digging the ground.

When you look at it, Rejo is like a madman. The skin is pale at the bottom because it is submerged in water, while the hands to the head are jet black due to sunburn. Rejo just stopped his activities for a while to pray and eat or defecate. That'sthat's all.

Finding the pool water clear again, the hermits felt themselves playing the most important role. Likewise for the swordsman. Not with Rejo, he doesn't seem to care.

Only, the hermits and warriors were confused, how to turn on the floating dead fish. They also wonder how it is possible that fish that have been dead for weeks, do not rot.

They claim each other and feel the greatest knowledge. However, finding the floating dead fish, they could only fall silent. They feel they have put all their knowledge into action. Of course, they don't know what else to do.

In line with the clarity of the water that makes the entire population happy, and they began to dare to throw themselves into the water, it turns out from the coconut fruit that still continues to emit this bubble, he said, removing the blue color liquid.

Slowly, the fresh water returned to blue, just like the beginning of this strange event.

The hermits and warriors immediately did another tapa brata. They put all their knowledge in order to restore the water to clear.

Found the water turning blue, then resuscitated Rejo. Apparently, rejo did not know that actually the water had become clear, then turned blue. Rejo considered that the color of the water from red immediately became blue.
