The Swordsman

CHAPTER XXXV

Inside the cottage the three of them told each other what had happened to them.

"Ki.. Who is this young man..?" ask the village chief.

"The village head, I am Sanjaya, son of Prince Kusuma." said Raden Sanjaya

Knowing Raden Sanjaya's answer, the village chief immediately knelt down and paid his respects to Raden Sanjaya.

"I'm sorry Raden servant, I really don't recognize raden. If raden wants, please punish me for not recognizing Raden Sanjaya" said the village chief.

"Wake up the village chief. Don't be like that. I'm the one who should apologize for not introducing myself directly." said Raden Sanjaya while helping the village chief stand up.

"But I beg you one thing head of the village." continued Raden Sanjaya.

"There is no need for raden to beg, whatever raden asks, that is an order for me." replied the village chief.

"Please hide my identity and that of my grandfather. I don't want the events of thirteen years ago to happen again. I don't want to attract those black skull groups for a while.."

"If anyone asks, answer me Jaka Pengasal, granddaughter of Ki Sumali." said Raden Sanjaya.

"Well raden.mean servant den Jaka.."

"Then what are your next plans..?" ask the village chief.

"I want to set up a paddle here, the Sky Dragon Paddle. In addition to teaching the science of kanuragan, also teach his students the teachings of ethics and the way of truth."

"And I will use the name Ki Samadhi." said ki Sumali.

"Then, who are those people outside..? from his clothes it seemed like they were from the Black Skull. How can they be with you..?" ask the village chief.

"The village chief need not worry. They are all now my followers and I assure you they will not dare to betray me nor my grandfather Sumali.."

"I also ask for help, prepare new clothes for all of us" said Raden Sanjaya.

"Well, I'll tell the villagers about your plans. Then I beg myself, I will prepare some clothes for you guys." said the village chief.

Ki Sumali gave some gold pieces to the village chief to buy some clothes, while the Lawean villagers were busy preparing all sorts of needs for the implementation of a joint do'a for the spirits of Ki Joyo and Ki Tejo. Some people prepare food and others prepare fruits.

-->

Led directly by ki Sumali or what is now known as Ki Samadhi, the atmosphere of do'a takes place with a solemn and very sacred nuance. Mantram Kalimasada is chanted by Raden Sanjaya or Jaka Pengalasan as a do'a compliment to the spirits of Ki Joyo and Ki Tejo.

"Ki Joyo, Ki Tejo, may your spirits calm down there. Your will to guard and educate Raden Sanjaya has been run."

"Now Raden Sanjaya has become a great person and exceeded the capabilities of all of us. Don't worry, me and Raden Sanjaya will crush the Black Skull all the way to its roots." - Raden Sanjaya.

After finishing praying Ki Joyo and Ki Tejo, while enjoying the food that has been prepared, the village head announced to all Lawean villagers about the purpose of Ki Sumali to establish the Celestial Dragon Padepokan in Lawean village. Various reactions from the population responding to the goals of ki Sumali.

"I don't agree.!! This padepokan will definitely invite the Black Skull in the future" said one resident.

"really.. All I hear is that the Black Skull will draw tribute to every one of the clergy standing in the kingdom of Kawi." said the others.

"If I agree with the stance of this clutch. All this time we live in fear, fearing the attack of robbers who come to this village every time plunder our treasures and take the harvest."

"Right, even in some villages the Black Skull Sect also took babies."

"At least with the Sky Dragon clutch, we can have enough ability to fight them." said another resident.

Raden Sanjaya and Ki Sumali carefully listened to all the complaints of the Lawean villagers.

"Silent all of you..!! You need not be afraid, precisely this padepokan will help us to face all the threats that have plagued the Lawean village" said Barno.

"For what does the Black Skull sect kidnap girls and babies..?" batin Raden Sanjaya's.

"Uncle, do you know since when the Black Skull kidnapped the girls and the babies..?" ask raden Sanjaya.

"In these past ten days, there have been twice Black Skulls coming to this village to take the girls. Jagabaya's daughter and my son have been forcibly taken by them. Somehow their fate is now." said the resident.

"According to the information I heard, the black skull has also taken forcibly the babies of the population, no matter the sex of men or women." said the constable.

Raden Sanjaya seemed to be thinking hard with all the information he got. In his heart was furious over all the actions of the Black Skull.

"Slamet, Barno, Ujang, do you know what the Black Skull is planning..?" tanya raden Sanjaya.

"Sorry sir, I just heard this news. I've never heard anything about this before" Slamet replied.

"I didn't know it was raden either." said Barno and Ujang.

"That means only certain people in the Black Skull Sect know, or maybe this thing was not long ago done by the Black Skull so they did not know it.?" thought Raden Sanjaya.

Hearing the words of the constable, the entire Lawean village fell silent. Horror loomed in their minds if at any time the Black Skull took their babies. Finally after hearing Ki Sumali's explanation of how the Heavenly Dragon Padepokan operated, they agreed to establish a place in the Lawean village.

The next day, the Lawean villagers took to work to build the Sky Dragon Padepokan which was in the hut where the tombs of Ki Joyo and Ki Tejo were located. While Raden Sanjaya wrote a translation of the Kalimasada mantra which contains the teachings of mind and the way of truth to be taught to all members of the Sky Dragon.

Within a week, the building of the Sky Dragon storehouse had stood firm, and the translation of the kalimasada mantra had been completed written by the Sanjaya raden and handed over to Ki Sumali. In the morning Ki Sumali taught the teachings of mind and the way of truth that comes from the mantram of kalimasada and in the evening ki Sumali taught the science of canuragan to all members of the padepokan, namely residents of Lawean village. Ki Sumali also taught the site of brajamusti to Slamet and Ujang, while Barno studied Halilintar Spear Style.

"Tomorrow morning I will go to the villages around this Lawean village. I will find out what the purpose of the Black Skull is to take the babies and the girls." - Raden Sanjaya told Ki Sumali and the village chief.

"Raden, I hope Raden is careful. In the villages next door, a lot of black streams stood. They are all members of the Black Skull sect" said the village chief.

"How long do you think you're going to go my granddaughter..?" ask Ki Sumali.

"Either cake, if I've collected enough information I'll go back to the store and we set the next strategy.."

"Bring this whistle to the cake, if at any time a strong enemy comes attacking, blow this whistle, then the five holy spiritual animals will come to help you.." said Raden Sanjaya while handing over a whistle made of steel beak eagle bird feathers.

"Bring this up, you'll definitely need it on the way." Ki Sumali handed over a bag of gold coins to Raden Sanjaya.

"Horned tiger, Black Lion, Three-headed Sanca, Three-eyed wolf and red eagle, you hear me..? raden Sanjaya said in telepathy.

"Hamba heard sir. What is the order of sir..?" answer them in unison.

"Please guard the Lawean village. If you hear the whistle from the red eagle feather, come quickly to the Lawean village. Help my grandfather in the face of a powerful enemy." Raden Sanjaya ordered.

"Sendiko dhawuh (servant is ready to carry out the command) sir." they replied.
