THE SUNAN BODYGUARD

episode 4f: Rejo Color Change Water Lake Maharena Wijaya

Thus, it was quite difficult for Rejo to pry information around the existence of the King and the royal family. Surely, Rejo was unable to get close to the palace. And again, coming with three tigers, it was certainly not easy for Rejo to freely enter the city.

Rejo chose to live in the mountain with three friends, the tiger who had grown up.

Rejo patiently entered the capital every day, and began to watch and understand the behavior of the townspeople. In fact, Rejo also began to understand little by little what people were talking about in stalls, markets or squares.

Rejo also observed a large lake called Maharena Wijaya. In various corners of this lake a lot of pamujan built. Residents around many who put up offerings in pamujan, or melarung sesaji.

“This is the work of our emperor during his life, Sri Baduga Maharaha,” said one resident.

Rejo is just a mangosteen.

Sri Baduga Maharaha is none other than Prabu Siliwangi, who is believed to have been Moscow, or simply disappeared. Residents believe Sri Paduka Prabu Siliwangi and his three sons transformed into white tigers. Rejo got word that the current ruler is Prabu Surawisesa.

The greatness of Prabu Siliwangi who holds the title Sri Baduga Maharaja Ratu Haji Prabu Jaya Dewata has been aligned with ‘dewa’. The Battle of Bubat is a testament to the greatness of Prabu Siliwangi.

Realizing all that, Rejo did not want to be rash.

He remembered, his goal to come to Pajajaran was none other than to challenge the greatest figure in the land of Java. Prabu Siliwangi who successfully destroyed Majapahit soldiers led by Gajah Mada patih became a guarantee of the prowess of his opponent candidates. When necessary, Rejo avoids direct combat.

Long pensive on the edge of the lake Maharena Wijaya, making rejo remember the great experience when he struggled to overcome the science of Majapahit King Wikramawardhana. Until the second he was in Pajajaran, still did not realize that the King of Majapahit had entrusted his knowledge to Rejo.

“Don't... Can my ascetic Wikramawardhana wear it in this lake? But how to make the lake water change color?”

Rejo muttered to himself.

However, in this dreamy position, in the grandeur in Rejo's brain, some strange movements were drawn. Motion that does not resemble pencak silat, however, more semedic style motion.

Initially, Rejo ignored the motion after motion that appeared in his brain, but when it was seen the coconut fruit, Rejo immediately stepped up.

“Allahu Akbar!” yell Rejo himself.

“Do not, the motion that appears in my mind, is the motion of the ascetic Wikramawardhana, when making the pond Segaran change color, even fish as if dead.”

Rejo began to concentrate.

The intensity of the motion remains reflected in the mind.

Understandably, actually Rejo has been titipi energy science in King Wikramawardhana. It could be, because there is a common grudge to Pajajaran so that the Resi King is willing to help Rejo. But, clearly, Wikrama Wadhana saw the pulley on Rejo's forehead. That, this young man was the king's successor. That this young man has a noble mind, clarity of mind, and silence of heart.

Because it has been possessed by the science of the Resi, when Rejo soaked in the Freshan Pool first, then, it easily began to appear the greatness of the movement of the sage in Rejo's mind.

Finally, Rejo decided to give it a try.

Living in the forest with three tigers, Rejo freely imitated the movement for the sake of the gradual movement slowly by slowly. Even Rejo has prepared coconut fruit, which will be placed in Telaga Maharena Wijaya.

Many times trying, Rejo finally believes that his steps are not wrong. Because, from the prepared coconut fruit earlier, a hissing sound appears.

Rejo immediately took the coconut fruit to the small river. Once dyed, from the direction of the coconut fruit appears bubbles, and slowly the clear color of the water turns red.

Rejo immediately lifted the coconut fruit from the water.

Placed coconut, and stared at continuously.

“But, how do I put this coconut fruit in the lake without anyone knowing? Is not Resi Wikramawardhana able to put coconut in Fresh Pond without having to come to it? So then. I should be able to send this coconut to Maharena Wijaya lake from this forest. But how?”

“If I can practice making the coconut hiss, there is certainly a way how to send this coconut to the lake without having me come there.”

Rejo also tried various sciences that he mastered to be able to send this sizzling coconut fruit to Maharena Lake Wijaya. Rejo thinks simply, if he can master the science that can make the coconut fruit hiss and change the color of the water, of course he can also send the coconut fruit to the lake.

"This is certainly a unit. All right, I have to find a way," Rejo said.

But, it was very different when he discovered how to make the coconut fruit hiss. No more movement in his brain. Although Rejo tried to concentrate high, still nothing appeared in his mind.

Finally, Rejo tried a throw that was accompanied by deep energy.

As far as he threw, certainly not possible to reach the lake Maharena Wijaya. Not to mention to find the target point in the middle of the lake. It's impossible to throw.

For days Rejo was looking for a way to put the sizzling coconut fruit. But still failed.

One night, Rejo looks at three of his friends, the tiger.

"Do I just leave the tiger, yes... to put this coconut fruit in the middle of the lake? What does Wikramawardhana do? What animal did the hermit ask?"

Rejo's thoughts drifted to his experience in Majapahit. Tried to repeat in his brain, the dialogue between him and the ascetic Wikrama Wardhana. After a long time of scraping through those memories, Rejo finally got his answer.

"Allahu Akbar, why didn't I realize that moment? Wasn't it around the Wikramawardhana Hermit that there were a lot of peacocks? Don't you think it was the peacock that was told to drop from above, this fizzing coconut into Segaran's pond?"

Rejo was just guessing, but he had lost his mind to be able to put the coconut into the middle of Maharena Wijaya Lake. So, Rejo also seemed to invite the three tigers to talk, and taught them to want to bring the fizzing coconut fruit into the middle of the lake. Of course, at night where no one knows.

Rejo taught these three tigers to help each other carry the fizzing coconut fruit. While one parent tiger, asked Rejo to swim to the middle of the lake while biting the hissing coconut fruit. And release the sizzling coconut fruit in the middle of the lake.

Early in the morning, when the temperature is very cold, and there is no way that humans are still on guard. These three tigers, walking towards Telaga Maharena Wijaya.

Without any human being knowing, one parent tiger swam into the middle of the pond, and took off the sizzling coconut.

Before long, the coconuts had sunk and burst bubbles. The tiger swam over again.

At the edge of the pool, as Rejo had planned, these three tigers, stood at the three ends of the lake. They roar so loudly. Many times they did that, then went into the forest.

This tiger roar made the surrounding residents frightened. The tiger is a sacred animal, due to the incarnation of King Siliwangi. And no one dared to leave the house that night.

Moreover, the roar of the tiger was very tight and sailed. This means, not just one tiger.

And indeed in the morning, the residents of Pajajaran were very surprised after seeing the lake water Maharena Wijaya turned blood red.

"I heard the roar of a tiger hammering, last night. My family was terrified. At that time, we and our family thought, what is this, when there are tigers roaring at each other from various places. No, there will be a major disaster. Turns out, this lake water becomes blood. May the gods be angry" said one resident.

Other people agree.

So, before long, the news of the lake water turning into blood soon spread throughout the country Padjajaran. People are watching the water in droves. Many were sobbing and even roaring. This makes the atmosphere even more gripping once blue gus haru.

Rejo came out of the forest, and mingled with the crowd who saw the well water turn into blood.

Rejo waits, what will the people of Padjajaran do.

Not much different. People started throwing offerings, burning incense, and praying towards the lake.

Rejo just smiled.

Throughout the day, the number of people who came to the lake was very large. Who came not immediately home, who just came to want to approach the lake, because they want to arrange offerings.

Evening at night, there were many more. There was almost no place to sit quietly, as it was very tight.

So far, there has been no reaction from the warriors, hermits, especially among the kingdom.

Rejo did not react to anything. He finally chose to sit some distance from the well, under the banyan.

His eyes continued to watch over the people who were approaching the lips of the well.

There were those who took the blood water to take home, but no one dared to bathe in the blood well.

That night, indeed the atmosphere around this vast lake, was very crowded.

And Rejo is on the move. He wanted to be near his three friends, the tiger.

The goal, to protect the tiger, if, someone wants to harm it. Because, as planned, that night three tigers still roar in the lake area.

And that's exactly what happened. As the night grew colder, residents who still survived around the lake were surprised by the roar of a tiger with a hammer, which was not far from the lake.

Some of the residents immediately ran home. But there are some who dare to try to approach the source of the voice.

Rejo, who was hiding in a tree, did not want his three friends to be victims, threw the nape of the people who began to arrive with small pebbles that had been prepared before.

Not a few who fainted.

For the sake of seeing dozens of people suddenly fall down and do not wake up again, hundreds of people who came to the roar, immediately turned around, and ran away.

They're terrified beyond measure.

Imagine, just approaching the sound point of the roar, people on the fall and do not wake up again.

An event that overlaps and puzzles each other. After the roar of the tiger, the well water turned to blood, and when the roar appeared again, people fell.

Although only fainted, because the nape of the neck was exposed to small pebble sheets, but circulating throughout the country Padjajaran, news of the people died after hearing the roar of tigers.

So, since this event, the residents of the capital Pajajaran were terrified. The night is gripping. Because the roar of the tiger bashfully appeared sporadically in various parts of the city.

Not to mention the well water turned into blood. Adding to the fear and horror.

Rejo, who remained in the forest with the three tigers, continued to wait for development. The goal to challenge the descendants of Prabu Siliwangi became the main target.

Until one moment, the opportunity to enter the royal palace appeared when a competition appeared, the kingdom invited all the magicians in Padjajaran to overcome the terror of the roaring tiger and handle the water of the blood lake.

Rejo is one of the people who will follow this competition. Rejo was already in the square regol, however, he immediately stopped the pace, when his mind reached a conclusion, lest, this was the attempt of the government who wanted to find the ringleader of terror.

So Rejo paused his intention. He chose to just sit around under a large tree, a bit away from the square.

His eyes watched the person who entered the square. Not many. Indeed there is a hermit, a warrior figure who impressed powerful. None were found cloaked or Muslim. Rejo observes that there are still ascetics, sages, and warriors, who may still be Hindus, Buddhists or animists.

Every morning, this is what Rejo does. Or sometimes he goes to the blood lake to see his progress. While every night, three of his friends' tigers expand the area of terror. The aura has reached various corners of the city of Padjajaran.

The terror continues.
