The Thousand Mask Warrior

First Lesson - Fire Birds

According to the observation of Baharuddin Labbiri, Jayaseta finally made the first mistake: he imitated the styles of Silat Tomoi Baharuddin Labbiri.

This warrior jumps like a fly and then sharply dives down like an eagle. He gave an elbow strike whose strength charged all over his body. When it hits the enemy, then there is no unimaginable damage that occurs.

Jayaseta did decide not to hold back his attack because he understood that what he was facing now had a qualified science. Jayaseta learned that the silat used by Tun Guru Baharuddin Labbiri is almost completely different from other silat nusantara. An attack with elbows and knees is meant to be a deadly weapon because the two parts are the hardest parts of the human body.

Initially Jayaseta was about to use his Jurorless Style to understand the opponent's moves and fuse them, using the opponent's movement gaps and weaknesses to his advantage. But, the other side is always excited with new sciences and high confidence, Jayaseta decided to imitate the opponent's style.

Baharuddin Labbiri is certainly not just any opponent. He easily resisted Jayaseta's attack. One knee bends to his stomach, his back bends and his head hides behind his two arms that cover his head.

Jayaseta's elbow is like hitting a rock. Baharuddin Labbiri resisted Jayaseta's attack which was tucked in like a turtle in his shell.

Jayaseta was jolted because the opponent did not dodge and his attack did not have any impact.

Jayaseta again imitated Silat Tomoi's moves. He used a hip game to kick straight to the side of Baharuddin Labbiri's body hard. This allows a kick to be released as hard and fast as possible.

Baharuddin Labbiri bent his knees back, bent his back and lowered his elbows. Jayaseta's kick hits a fortress. The Bugis bloody teacher was unmoved.

Jayaseta turned around to attack towards the opponent's head with the back of his elbow.

This attack reads easily. Baharuddin Labbiri lowered his head while giving one straight fist to Jayaseta's waist.

BUGS!

About telak.

Jayaseta jerked back to the side. Baharuddin Labbiri. One fist hit Jayaseta's jaw, elbow to chest, knee to abdomen and last one hard strike to Jayaseta's calf left him strangled and falling thumping to earth.

Although some think that the admiral is not really anchored in the archipelago, only giving orders from the ship, no doubt this historical story proves the early relationship of the Chinese with Riau.

Hundreds of years later, a Chinese village was recorded on Penyengat Island. They were there allegedly working as traders and farmers. Only, they did not live long on Penyengat Island because together and in droves, the Chinese people moved to Senggarang. The move was well received by the natives. Even the child marriage of a Chinese Kapitan is enlivened and respected by local figures.

In Senggalarang was established a place of worship and worship of the Chinese. In this place, there are several managers. There is also a figure known as a healer as well as Laoya. He was briefly called Feng Laoya. It seems that his name is just a vocation or title that more or less means 'firebird'.

This morning while praying, Feng Laoya looked with his inner eyes, the smoke of hio forming the shadows of three human figures that shimmered incompletely. But Feng Laoya understood that the three figures consisted of two men and one woman.

He smiles. The path of life and fate is hard to guess. During this time in Kampung Cina Sanggalarang, he devoted himself to helping Chinese farmers and traders in terms of their good day calculations to carry out daily activities. As well as birth, marriage, and death, Feng Laoya has always been part of the ceremonies and blessings of every level of human life.

But what he saw now inside him was something else. There is a big thing, exceeding the interests of the Chinese people of Senggalarang Chinese Village in the Riau Islands area under the rule of the Johor-Riau Sultanate.

Across the sea, three men decided to go sailing together towards Riau. The threads of fate would later bind the three with Feng Laoya. Fong Pak Laoya and Feng Laoya are two poles that attract each other. Together with the two, a pair of men and women, Yu and Pratiwi, may find their step and purpose in life.

Hail Swordsman.

Dear readers, again met with Jayaseta trip around the archipelago and abroad.

On this occasion I would like to convey that there will be a slight change in the presentation of the Chapter in this novel. Each Chapter will be written more concisely than before, but made into two or three chapters in one Update. This is so that each Chapter becomes more organized and not too piled up. Hopefully the selection of writing styles like this can be well received by readers.

Thank you ⁇
