Bukit Barisan Swordsman

Bukit Barisan Swordsman
The Fruit of Attitude.


That afternoon the Sun is still very friendly, the Light is bright but not scorching on the skin, the position has begun to lean west. After his meeting with Dewangin, Jaya resumed rock training in the middle of the river where he used to practice increasing his Water Energy.


Jaya sat cross-legged on the rock as usual, but today her feelings are calmer and she also feels very happy to be able to help others in need. Because of the sense of calm and happiness that Jaya is feeling, the Water Energy absorbed can be more or more times, even many times, Currently after Jaya activated the Natural Breathing Technique she felt the Energy around her was no longer sucked, but the energy itself was as if it was going to race into her body. This makes the energy collected in Jaya's body increases very rapidly.


By the afternoon Jaya had finished her training, she intended to go home early to check and repair the new bow given by Dewangin, but before getting up from the rock where she was training in the middle of the river, He tried the Lightning Steps by walking on the water, But the way almost made him splash into the river, With a swift Jaya changed his movement to run so as not to splash.


" It turns out that the Lightning Step is only effective at fast movements" Guman Jaya observed the weak side of his skill. Jaya hung a Dewangin-given arrow bag on her back and carried a bow in her left hand to go home. In the middle of the road Jaya saw three forest chickens walking into the thickets of the bush. Intending to try a new arrow, Jaya points the arrow at her bow to a moving bush, not even aiming seriously.


"Shwuussis... Keeok.keook.." A Forest Chicken leaped out of the thickets of the bush in a state pierced by arrows, The chicken was only able to jump twice after lying helplessly. " Weird... This arrow is so accurate and so easy to use, I didn't even aim at all." Said Jaya watching the bow in her left hand while walking to pick up the chicken from her hunt, Without thinking long Jaya also walked back towards home.


Jaya walks home by rolling a Forest Chicken that is lifeless, Not forgetting she pulled out the stem of the yam that she thought already had a large enough bulb. After taking the tubers, Jaya broke the tubers into several small pieces along the two jengkal, then she stuck the pieces of the tubers into the ground so that they could grow back.


Arriving at the Jaya hut peeling and cleaning the tubers he brought, then cleaning the chicken, Not forgetting he smeared the chicken with herbs and spices to taste delicious when eating. Finished cleaning the tubers and chicken, Jaya was about to boil the yam first, but before that she heard the footsteps of horses carrying chariots towards her hut. " Grandfather's home." Say it with joy.


Jaya paused her intention of boiling yams, She walked out of the hut to welcome her Master home. As soon as the horse-drawn carriage stopped in front of their hut yard, Jaya immediately approached Empu Gading who came down from the horse-drawn carriage "Grandfather "His speech was longing as he reached out to greet his Master, Not to forget he bowed to and kissed the back of his Master's hand as a courtesy to the old man.


After greeting his Master, Jaya deftly lowered and brought all the goods that his Master brought from the Duchy using a horse carriage into the hut. Empu Gading took out three pieces of Gold Metal Money and gave it to the Carpenter. " This is too much Empu, Usually only one Gold Piece" said the coachman received a gift from Empu Gading.


" Take it... More can you can save or buy some things so that your children and wife are happy." Said Empu Gading to the coachman. " Good Empu.. Thank you very much." Answer The driver was happy. After Jaya finished unloading all the goods from inside the train, the coachman passed away.


Jaya is still busy lifting goods from the yard to be put in the hut and stacked in place so that it is easy to find when needed, But in between the busyness of it Jaya still had time to heat the water to make tea. Empu Gading who still feel tired because it has just traveled a long way just sit in the pendopo and let Jaya pack the goods alone.


Finished packing all the luggage of Empu Gading, Jaya came out of the hut carrying a plate of boiled tubers and an empty cup. Then they both sit in the pendopo while enjoying the boiled tubers are still warm and ginger.


Dusk passed changed the night, Empu Gading was still loyal in the pendopo relax ria unwind after days of traveling back and forth to the Duchy of Bromo. Jaya collected dry wood to make a fireplace near the pendopo, after which she took out the Forest Chicken that she had cleaned and lumoured herbs and spices this afternoon. Then Jaya started roasting the chicken over the fire.


" Where is Chicken Jaya? Ask Empu Gading.. " I shot him when I came home from the river training Kek "Jaya replied while turning back the Chicken so as not to burn. "Where's your practice?" ask Empu Gading back. "That's Cake.. There's just a little development." Reply Jaya with a downcast face. Until the roasted chicken cook no more questions from Empu Gading, He whistled chanting a beautiful tone and only he knew the verse.


After the chicken was cooked, Jaya put on a plate in front of her Master, then Jaya went into the hut and returned with drinking water in the jug. As she sat in the pendopo she found her Master chewing and holding one of the chicken's thighs, "Enak Kek ?" Tanya Jaya to her Teacher. " Ordinary." Answer Empu Ivory briefly without expression. But when Jaya was about to take the chicken meat, Empu Gading had already held the remaining chicken thigh, Jaya could only smile at the behavior of his grandfather.


While eating Jaya recounted the incident when she met Dewangin, He told in detail from the beginning, Hula Empu Gading did not respond too much to the story, he said, Until Jaya said that Dewangin knew Empu Gading when he was young, his facial features turned serious. Jaya also shows Dewangin's Jade Ring and says the message that if the Master will remember Dewangin when he sees this Ring.


Empu Gading held the Jade Ring that Jaya showed and watched it closely, A moment later Empu Gading grasped the ring in his right hand, Both eyes closed and his mouth kamit like reciting a Mantra. Before long Empu Gading opened his eyes "Is there anything else he gave you?" Ask Empu Gading seriously to Jaya. " There's cake.. He traded my bow and arrow for his." Jaya explained. " Take it." Empu Gading's order was short, Jaya went into the hut to take the bow and arrow given by Dewangin.


When Jaya came out of the hut with a bow and arrow, Empu Gading was already sitting on the edge of the pendopo floor. Seeing Jaya coming out of the hut carrying a bow and arrow, his teacher said. "Try you to use that gun". Jaya hung the arrow bag on her back and held the bow in her left hand without asking. " Come closer and kneel down is "Empu Ivory's Order back. Jaya followed her Master's orders.


After Jaya knelt before her Master by holding a bow and carrying a pouch of arrows on her back, Empu Gading placed the right palm on Jaya's head just above her ubun, the, And the Jade Ring was placed between the head and palm of Empu Gading. Jaya sensed that something was going into her body, The energy went all over her body and stopped in her Brain, after which it dimmed and disappeared as it was embedded in her brain.


"Tomorrow morning you will find out what and who really gave this to you" said Empu Gading as he released his hand from Jaya's head.
