The Swordsman

CHAPTER XXIX

In the dimension of his soul, Raden Sanjaya saw a very beautiful, long-haired woman with white skin like ice. A thick fog covers the chest to the woman's knees so that only the head, hands and some of her legs appear. Raden Sanjaya seemed fascinated by her beauty.

"S... si... Who are you..? why are you in the dimension of my soul..?" tanya raden Sanjaya stammered.

"Master, I am the spirit of the ice sword that you brought. The power of the Kalimasada sword has awakened me and brought me into the dimension of the master's soul"

"But who are you..? Do you have a name..? And how did you get to be on the ice sword..?" ask raden Sanjaya.

"I am one of the small parts of this universal spirit consciousness that the Great Hyang decreed to lead a holy-spirited person to open the Hastana Hyang Asa."

"I am Kilisuci and I am Kalimasada's partner"

"Then what do you mean to say that the door of Hastana Hyang Asa is made of teak wood..? What does it mean..?" ask Raden Sanjaya.

"I can't say it, I can only give you that hint. With your understanding, I'm sure you can find the answer to my clue."

"I'm just the key, you're the one who has to turn the key so the door can open."

Slowly the Kilisuci Spirit disappeared from Sanjaya's raden soul dimension and returned to camp on the ice sword. The ice sword also returned to its original wajud. In the dimension of the soul, Raden Sanjaya meditated on the meaning of the teak tree. Suddenly Sanjaya's raden soul dimension shook and a huge teak tree appeared in the middle of his soul dimension.

"Why is there a teak tree in the middle of my soul dimension..? This tree appeared by itself as I thought of the meaning of that teak tree." thought Raden Sanjaya.

Raden Sanjaya approached the teak tree and examined it closely. Finally raden Sanjaya can understand the meaning of teak wood after a while looking closely at teak trees in the dimension of his soul. Along with the understanding obtained by Sanjaya raden, the teak tree suddenly disappeared from the Sanjaya raden soul dimension, which made Sanjaya raden more sure of what he understood.

"Ahhhhhh. I understand now the meaning. The moment I thought of the tree appeared and the moment I thought of anything else the tree suddenly disappeared.."

Wood which in kawi language (ancient Java) means kajeng, is the desire and teak is short for kawanan teak or true state. Actually teak wood means true desire and trees are the mother of life of teak wood, just as humans are the mother of true desire.

"So that door is me. So my desire to open that door is the same thing I have to open the door of my heart to accept whatever is behind that door with sincerity." - Raden Sanjaya.

Raden Sanjaya finally came out from within the dimension of his soul back to his physical consciousness. Slowly raden Sanjaya approached the door and placed his palm on the door.

"Our door, I know exactly who you are. You are the embodiment of my desires, your consciousness is no different from mine. I ask you to open up like I'm opening my heart." murmured raden Sanjaya.

The door of Hastana Hyang Asa turned into blue light and entered into the body of Raden Sanjaya. The dimension of Sanjaya's raden soul churned for a moment until it finally calmed back down.

Spiritual energy was blowing from within Hastana Hyang Asa. Ki Sumali limped in walking closer to Raden Sanjaya. He was amazed by the success of Sanjaya.

"I don't know what you're doing raden, but I really didn't expect raden to make it. As deep as what understanding you have, even me this old is not necessarily able to solve all of this." Inner Ki Sumali was proud.

YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED YOUR EXAM OF YOUNG MAN. WHAT IS INSIDE HASTANA HYANG ASA IS YOURS

"Thank you Your Majesty, all this is because of the generosity of His Majesty who has given the test in accordance with the ability of the servant." replied Raden Sanjaya

AND YOU PARENTS, SINCE YOUR PATIENCE EDUCATES AND TAKES CARE OF HIM, I WILL GRANT YOU ONE WISH. BUT AFTER THAT I'LL GIVE YOU A NEW ASSIGNMENT.

"Thank you for the grace You gave to the Servant. The request of the servant is to always be with the grandson of the servant, accompanying every journey until the end of the servant's life. I want to be a witness to the journey of my grandson, Raden Sanjaya.." pinta ki Sumali.

I CANNOT GRANT YOUR REQUEST, BUT YOU WILL STILL BE WITNESSES TO THE SUCCESS OF THIS YOUNG MAN. I WANT YOU TO DEVOTE YOURSELF TO BEING A PANDHITA TEACHING BUDI PEKERTI TO EVERYONE LIKE YOU TEACH HIM.

IN EXCHANGE I WILL ELIMINATE THE COLD POISON THAT LODGED IN MY BODY. ENTER INTO THE HASTANA, SIT ON ONE OF THE GREEN PARAGLIDING STONES INSIDE.

"Hamba is very grateful for His Majesty's favor. The servant will carry out what His Majesty has commanded. Please give me a hint." replied ki Sumali.

GO TO ONE OF THE VILLAGES IN THIS COUNTRY. ESTABLISH A PATCH AND NAME THE SKY DRAGON

"Hamba will run it Your Majesty." replied Ki Sumali.

Raden Sanjaya and Ki Sumali enter the Hastana Hyang Asa building. Inside the building there is a statue of Kalachakra with a height of about six meters and made of pure gold. Right in front of the statue is a black stone that is as high as the stomach of Sanjaya raden, and there is an ancient kawi script that reads Selo Kresno.

On top of the stone Selo Kresno there is a box of teak wood and beside it there is a sword with a silver sword sheath with carved decoration. On the handle of his sword was a red pomegranate gem that was between two black sapphire gemstones. A thick Spiritual Energy shot out from within the wooden box and the sword that was beside him. Right in front of Selo Kresno there is a large enough box.

To the left and right of Selo Kresno there are seven green marble stones each. Green marble has almost the same function as black stone, but this green marble has another advantage that neutralizes all kinds of toxins caused even by holy spiritual animals. Although this green marble is light, but this stone is not very strong and not easily broken.

Ki Sumali immediately sat on one of the green marble stones and did a meditation to drain the energy in his entire body. The thing that Ki Sumali had never done after knowing the cold poison was residing in his body. Slowly it looked a blackish green mist with a pungent smell coming out from the pores of the body ki Sumali. Raden Sanjaya who from the beginning stared at the box on the stone Selo Kresno until affected by the pungent smell that came out of the body ki Sumali.

"This is the cold poison that grandfather suffered..? What a poison that is quite ferocious and certainly tortures grandfather.."

"Hopefully the poison suffered by grandfather can be completely lost from the grandfather's body" said Raden Sanjaya in the heart.
