THE SUNAN BODYGUARD
episode 4g: Meeting Maha Raja Pajajaran Surawisesa
A few days after the opening of the competition, it was seen that some hermits began to approach the blood lake. Various offerings are prepared, including various ubo rampe to restore the water to be clear already in pairs at every corner, along with the most built residents to put offerings and burn incense.
Rejo looked engrossed in seeing the efforts of these hermits.
Various movements are practiced.
All tense.
Rejo himself did not know, how much power from the sizzling coconut he made with the knowledge of the heritage of the ascetic Wikramawardhana, who is also the king of Majapahit.
“Outside!”
The hermit's punch directed at the lake, causing a loud enough explosion.
This explosion made the residents around the lake the highest. Some are running away, some are down, some are praying, some are even prostrating.
“Persis as it happened in the fresh lake first,” muttered Rejo.
Clearly, Rejo found the efforts of these ascetics to be a complete failure.
And that's what happened in the following days.
Siliberrebanti hermit, swordsman, resi try to overcome this blood lake. And all was expected, failed.
A few days later, it did not appear at all a sage or a hermit. All that is visible is the rubbish of the former offerings. Or residents who believe this blood lake is a god's curse, routinely wading offerings or burning incense at the most bergihan.
Actually, what Rejo awaited was only one, namely the presence of the King in this lake of blood. Of course, if no one is able to overcome, then the King Surawisesa who will intervene alone.
Until one day, the opportunity arose.
From dawn, the royal soldiers were already standing guard around the blood lake. In fact, anyone is forbidden to approach the blood well.
Rejo, who saw this opportunity, immediately slipped near the banyan tree, climbed up, and hid silently in the tree. Rejo wanted to know, what would the people of Padjajaran kingdom do.
When the sun had risen, the convoy of soldiers approached the lake of blood. And in the middle of the accompaniment, there was a figure riding a white horse. Very handsome and firm face.
His movements were very graceful, and in front of his stomach, tucked sideways a weapon hilt made of elephant tusks. Carved tiger head.
“He is the king of this great land,” muttered Rejo who peeked from the sidelines of the leafy banyan.
And it is so, the King of a great kingdom of the arch-enemy of Majapahit Kingdom, down from the horse, and began to approach the lake.
His eyes spread all over the wind.
However, the gaze of his eyes long fell upon the banyan, where Rejo was hiding.
Rejo.
The King smiled.
Then, the king crouched down near the lips of the lake. His clean, white and sturdy-looking hands, began to scoop up the blood water from the well.
“This is not blood. This is plain water that changes color,” cried the King, as if he wanted his words to be heard by people who were far away.
Rejo is beating.
“I know, this is the work of the Majapahit people, because indeed science like this comes from there,” cried the king again.
The soldiers were shocked, and became frightened.
They never listened to the king shout, for the king was very subtle.
When all the soldiers looked down and saluted, and no one dared to look at the king, the king stood up and looked in a banyan direction.
“Young man, I know, you're hiding in banyan. Get out, why hide.”
The voice just appeared near Rejo's ears, coupled with a subtle energy exposure leading to Rejo's heart.
This indicates the King exerting energy in a high level.
Rejo immediately set his breath, so as not to become a victim of this inner energy.
“Please, Kanjeng Raja, if I am presumptuous by hiding here,” Rejo replied, exerting energy within as well.
The words directly addressed to the King's ears, directly reacted by the King, by waving a calling hand.
Rejo began to be vigilant.
Never mind, when he appears, there will be an order to be showered with arrows.
“Cannot be young. I am not a coward. Come out of your hiding. I can't rain my guests with arrows.”
The word ringed in Rejo's ear. But, this time it is not accompanied by a heartbeat.
That is, the King has reduced his inner strength.
Rejo thought for a moment, before deciding to descend from the banyan tree.
All the soldiers are still down.
Rejo stepped up with the guard up and was ready to react with all the worst possibilities.
A few steps, and already making sure there would be no attack for him, Rejo immediately crouched down and walked while praying towards the king.
“I know, this is you,” said the King Surawisesa.
Rejo was stunned, shocked, and pounding.
Feelings raging.
He did not expect, easily the King could guess his actions.
“Young man, what is it difficult for me to find out who did it. Because you have a very different face to us. Your skin is black, and also your gait and behavior is exactly Majapahit. And again, the act of poisoning the pool water is indeed the hallmark of the science of King Wikramawardhana, King Majapahit, who became our sworn enemy,” said the King.
“Young man, it is very easy for me to restore the water of this pool to clear again. Unlike your previous efforts, when you clear the water again Fresh Pool in Majapahit. So, why do you fight against me, you must lose.”
Rejo pounding. Not felt, began to appear fear.
Cold sweat began to pour.
“Try attention,” said the King, while walking towards Telaga Maharena Wijaya.
The king pulled me from his warangkanya.
“Young man, this is a royal heirloom. Notice.”
The king dipped the end of the barn into the lake water.
Without any reaction, but slowly the blood-red lake water turned clear.
“Young man, the story of your fight in Fresh Pool I have heard. How difficult it is for you to clear the pool water. But, it is so easy for me to clear this Maharena Wijaya Lake.”
Rejo was really terrified.
“But, I know, you are not a random person. Only a powerful person can rule a tiger. Here, the tiger is a sacred animal, its level is slightly below that of a cow. And you have proven it. I know, the tiger that obeys your will there are three tails. That's not kidding. Young man, try to tell me who you really are.”
Rejo saluted.
Cold sweat is still running.
“Ampun Kanjeng Raja, Introduce my name Rejo. I was a student of Resi Hitu Dawiya from Mataram, and Resi Swadaraya from Mount Tidar. I got some knowledge from Syech Subakir, and Syech Belabelu.”
“Wow, you really are not a commoner. Your teachers are the greatest people in Dwipa Java. Then, what is your true purpose until you come to this Padjajaran?”
“I actually want to get rid of the science of the very violent Swadaraya Rishis. For that, I look for the magic people, so that the science of Mount Tidar can disappear from me.”
“Oh.... So you are the famous Swordsman of Mount Tidar? Indeed the story that reaches this Padjajaran, you are famous for being very cruel and cruel. But isn't that science a great science. Why should it be thrown away?”
“If I kill, I never come to my senses. Movement after movement always asks for life. I don't like that.”
“Then?”
“Kata Resi Wikramawardhana, in the Majapahit square no one can match. I was advised to challenge Prabu Siliwangi, or descent, or Raja Padjajaran. For that, I came here. Turns out, Your Majesty can already know before I story.”
The king laughed softly.
“Young people, I have hundreds of people who always follow the development in Majapahit. So, do not be surprised if I know a lot about you or the incident in Majapahit.”
Rejo kept a respectful.
“Pardon me, my lord, for meeting here, I have been greeted by my majesty, the greeting of Kiai Lembu Areng.”
“Hah?”
Rejo was shocked, but kept his head down.
“So, you met Kiai Lembu Areng?”
“True, Paduka.”
“Kiai Lembu Areng who lives in the crater of Mount Galunggung it?”
“True, Paduka.”
“Hail him I received. Tell me, how was your meeting with Kanjeng Kiai Lembu Areng?”
Rejo also told a detailed story, starting from the orders from Syech Belabelu until the separation with Kiai Lembu Areng.
“Young man, you are honest and what you are. I see you have a dazzling glow in your crown. I admit, I once wanted to study to Kiai Lembu Areng, but I failed because I could not enter his house, a cave in the crater of the mountain. You are great young man. And you deserve to be a fighting opponent. But you are more worthy as my guest, for you have called these great men of Java Dwipa. So, I decided, we don't have to fight, and our position is a draw. I easily returned the Telaga water to clear, but I failed to get a lesson from Kanjeng Kiai Lembu Areng. So our position is series.”
It felt, Rejo wanted to remind, what about the ability to command the tiger?
However, the King could read Rejo's mind.
“Young man, the problem you can order a tiger, it does not count. How could a match be made, if one of them saw it as impossible? How should I order a saint animal?”
Rejo.
Finally Rejo ventured to speak confessing his defeat.
“Please Lord King, for my sassness. I admit defeat before the King. It is true said Resi Wikramawardhana, Padjajaran land filled with magic people. I admit Your Majesty is very powerful.”
The King of Surawisesa approached Rejo.
Patted on Rejo's shoulder.
“The King said, You, Rejo, the Majapahit, are not enemies, but you are guests of the King. You will be served like a guest, and let us go to the palace. Take also three tigers who became your friend. Later, after a break, tell me all the lessons you got from Kanjeng Kiai Lembu Areng.”
So, the king's entourage returned to the Palace, and the lake water of Maharena Wijaya, has returned clear. Coconut fruit is hissing, already floating without hissing anymore.
Rejo seemed timidly to walk among the king's entourage.
The King chose to wait, as Rejo bailed to pick up his three companion tigers in the forest.
Finally, the group made their way to the palace, along with three tigers.
Along the way, the inhabitants of Padjajaran gathered themselves together and made their respects to the King, including the three slow-moving tigers.
At the palace, Rejo was treated as a great guest. Even so, in honor of the Islamic religion adopted by Rejo, all forms of meat cooking are eliminated. How to cook with new equipment. This is in honor of Rejo, who said eating meat**** is prohibited.
A few weeks Rejo stayed at Padjajaran Palace. Between the King and Rejo exchange knowledge, up to two people pilitanding this, both master various sciences each.
When saying goodbye to return to Majapahit, three tiger friends Rejo chose to stay in the palace environment. They received special treatment from the palace. As if knowing themselves, these three tigers became tame.
