Bukit Barisan Swordsman
Breathing Nature (2)

The sun had gone up like a wolf, In a river close to a waterfall surrounded by dense forest appeared a young man was sitting on a large flat stone right in the middle of the river flow. The young man is Jaya, he is focusing on training the Natural Respiratory Techniques taught by his teacher, Empu Gading.

Jaya began to feel the flow of energy around her body, but she still had difficulty absorbing that energy into her body according to the guidance of the teacher, In addition, the cold air around made his stomach start to feel rumbling and his eyes began to be attacked by sleepiness.

Jaya still persisted against hunger and drowsiness while trying to absorb the energy she felt surrounding her body, her breathing began to appear smooth and her eyes closed, This shows that Jaya is entering the peak of her meditation. But who would have thought the next moment Jaya bowed and splashed into the river, It turns out her eyes were closed not because of the peak of meditation but because of sleepiness.

Suddenly jaya regained his senses and swam to the banks because he had been dragged by the river, He walked on the river bank took the right position to swim towards the rock in the middle of the river where he practiced. Up on the stone Jaya did not directly train his technique, for a moment he thought why he fell asleep during training and why his teacher strictly forbid himself to fall asleep during training.

Long enough Jaya pondered and thought about what the cause and how to overcome it. In his heart he asked why this time exercise often made him fall asleep, Different away when he practiced the style, What because his body does not move so that it causes drowsiness? Various kinds of questions in his mind that all of them are difficult to find the answer.

Finally Jaya resumed her training but this time she did not close her eyes, She continued to observe what was happening around her as she performed the Natural Breathing Technique. It succeeded in making the drowsiness helplessly attack him, and slowly the hunger in his stomach gradually disappeared.

The longer he focused more and more on doing the Natural Breathing Technique and still did not close his eyes, In his mind his teacher only ordered that he not eat, not drink, and in his mind he would not drink, and do not sleep while practicing Natural Breathing Techniques. But there is no prohibition to keep paying attention to the circumstances around him, it can do even without moving his body parts.

Currently jaya sitting cross-legged upright facing the waterfall, his view straight ahead. Because of his sitting position facing the waterfall, as if he was observing every drop of water that fell from the top of the hill and came to him through the stream. Although the position is still far from the waterfall, Jaya can clearly see the existence of the waterfall.

It has been past half a day, Even now the sun has begun to lean west, But the Natural Breathing Techniques that are trained in Jaya have not shown results. Even so Jaya did not give up, He continued to try again and again without caring for thirst, hunger and drowsiness that attacked continuously without stopping, without stopping, In his heart he believed that results would not betray effort.

When Jaya was at the peak of concentration, she saw a streak of yellowish-white light emanating from the waterfall leading to her. His heart said that the light bias he was currently seeing was exactly the same as the one he had seen during King Damar's fight against the Bara King. Jaya kept staring at the light bias from the waterfall that led to her without blinking.

Currently Jaya's body is surrounded by a fog of light that is connected to the waterfall in front of her, Even if anyone sees, Jaya's entire body seems to emit light. Slowly feeling something enter his body through the pores of the skin, the situation was felt to occur all over the surface of his skin. For a moment Jaya remembered what her teacher taught her, calmly controlling something that entered her body to a point located around her navel.

Slowly something that enters the body and is flowed into the navel area it collects into one, Jaya felt her body become fresher and more energetic due to something that entered her body and flowed into the navel area. Based on that, Jaya now believes that the Light bias she sees and feels is the Being of the Energy she seeks with the Natural Breathing Technique.

Because he felt sure to find what he was looking for, and the more he absorbed the energy his body felt more fresh and powerful, Even now he no longer felt thirsty, he felt thirsty, hungry and sleepy as before. That's what makes Jaya feel reluctant to stop her training. But because it was getting dark Jaya was forced to stop her training because if it continues until night she is afraid to fall back asleep, And he doesn't know what the risks are if he falls asleep while doing Nature Breathing.

After doing the exercise Jaya wanted to go home, but before that she was again curious about her teacher who could walk on water like walking on the ground. Jaya also intends to again try to walk on the water to the river bank, but the results can still be the same. Jaya was still splashed into the water while walking on the first step, Disappointed she had to swim back to the riverbank, She muttered a little " It turns out that the energy I gathered wasn't enough to make me walk on the water, it's okay that tomorrow I can try again".

Jaya stepped back to the hut where she lived with Empu Gading, This time her heart was a little comforted because it managed to gather energy even though it was still very little, At least her training today has produced results, but this time it is still very little, there is still tomorrow to repeat the exercise.

Arriving at Jaya's hut cooking raw cassava that is still left in the kitchen, his stomach feels very hungry after a day of training on the river water, Not forgetting he also made tea mixed with honey.

At night, while waiting for his eyes to sleepy, Jaya sat on the pendopo alone. Jaya picked up some bamboo slats, calmly slicing, cutting and searing the bamboo with her dagger and some of the usual work tools.

As per Jaya's plan to make a bow for himself, with the skills he currently has Jaya is trying to make the best bow for him to use himself.
