JAYABAYA: The Journey of Being a Legend
The Secret of Gronggong Hill

The figure that was none other than the Killing Poison Queen immediately untied the rope of the long black cloth package she had just placed the ground. He was worried that if the object he brought it would be problematic to cause big problems.

As soon as the rope came off, a woman's head poked out from her wrap a long round black cloth. The mouth of the beautiful woman was tied to a cloth that prevented her from speaking while her hands and feet were tied to a rope. The beautiful woman who is none other than Goddess Rengganis is in a state of unconsciousness.

The Queen of Poison Killer hurriedly checked the pulse and breath of Goddess Rengganis to ascertain whether the beautiful woman was alive or dead. After feeling the pulse and the subtle breath of Goddess Rengganis, the Killer Poison Queen aka Nyi Dewayani sighed in relief.

Just so you know, after losing to Rishi Master Ekajati, the Killing Poison Queen was immediately taken to her overnight tent to recuperate. He had a medicine called the Lifesaving Pill that was able to recover his inner strength and heal wounds quickly. After taking the medicinal pill, Nyi Dewayani the Killing Poison Queen immediately meditated on arranging the path of blood to heal faster.

In the evening, a group of people from the two schools of silat, Sena from the College of Sword Justice and Lugina from Astanaraja Deity, came to the resting place of Nyi Dewayani the Queen of Poison Killer.

"Do you two want to come here?

Want to challenge the worship battle with me?", the Killing Poison Queen fiercely swerved towards the two of them.

"Prophe Nini Queen..

We're both here to talk about working with you. Honestly, the College of Sword Justice feels disadvantaged by the way of voting that we think is biased and tends to harm our silat college. Therefore, we intend to give lessons to the new regulator so that they do not want to be alone.

Coincidentally, Astanaraja also felt the same way and they had a personal grudge against Resi Guru Ekajati. His enemy's enemy is the Queen's Nini comrade. So we ask that you do not mind our request", Sena said in a soft tone but felt very eager for revenge.

"What benefits do I get when I work with you?

I do have a personal grudge against Resi Guru Ekajati but next time I can still get it back. There is no need now to do so" the Queen of Poison Killer said immediately.

"Astanaraja will give you 2 grains of Green Nirmala Stone that you can use to increase the energy in you later, Nyi Dewayani.

It's quite profitable for you, isn't it?", said Lugina as she extended her hand holding the black cloth bag that opened her rope. A stone as big as a light green keluwih seed was there. The eyes of Nyi Dewayani the Killing Poison Queen instantly widened upon seeing the green stone.

Without a second thought, the Poison Killer Queen directly grabbed the light green stone from above Lugina's right hand.

"Agreed!

What is my part in this evil plan of yours?", asked the Killer Poison Queen as she stuffed the Green Nirmala Stone into her black dress pocket.

"Sena will make fake news to the guards of the night place Nyai Larasati to loosen the guard of the students of Golok Sakti University. Then you go in and use your poison to render the student unconscious. After that you take him to Gronggong hill.

Arriving there, I will give you another Green Nirmala Stone" said Lugina with a sly smile.

"Little business..

Leave that little business to me. Just prepare the stone again on the Gronggong Hill" said Nyi Dewayani, the Queen of Assassins Poison while gesturing for the two of them to leave the place immediately.

And so the story goes that the Queen of the Killer Poison reached the edge of the Kali Pemali (Cipemali or Kali Brebes now). Kali Pemali is the natural boundary of the Kingdom of Panjalu and Galuh Pakuan although actually at the end of the estuary stands the Duchy of Rajapura which is one of the small areas in the westernmost part of Panjalu.

After enough rest, the Queen of Assassins Poison returned to tidying up the strings of the long black cloth she was carrying. As soon as it settled, the beautiful woman in black clothes immediately shot up the shoots of bamboo trees that curved above the Kali Pemali. Using that bamboo tip, The Poison Killer Queen who had the science of lightening a tall body immediately jumped high and landed on a large tree branch across the great river before she came back splashing like flying over the tops of trees. His destination was only one, arriving at Gronggong Hill as soon as possible.

****

Relying on the sensitive nose ability of Resi Simharaja, Jaka Umbaran along with Nyai Larasati the Southern Wind Angel and Resi Guru Ekajati continue to move quickly after the kidnapper Dewi Rengganis. The ability of science to lighten his fourth body is indeed very high up to a distance of thousands of spears away just in a few breaths.

By late afternoon arrived, the three had reached the banks of the Pemali River. Resi Simharaja sniffed the presence of the sweat smell of Goddess Rengganis and it disappeared on the river bank.

"It seems they crossed this river, Ndoro Umbaran. The smell is gone here" said Resi Simharaja while pointing to the banks of the Pemali River which is turbid water.

Hmmmmm..

"Senja is getting dark, soon the visibility of our eyes will also be limited.

Resi Guru, in your opinion should we continue the pursuit or rest?", Jaka Umbaran immediately turned to Resi Guru Ekajati and Nyai Larasati who stood on the banks of the Pemali River.

"The sooner we find the kidnapper the better, but the night will make it harder for us to move. If I'd rather rest first to recover our strength. But I would like to ask Resi Simharaja, will the trace of the existence of Goddess Rengganis disappear from her kiss if it stops?", Guru Ekajati's rishi gazes towards Simharaja Resi who is standing by the river while constantly trying to track down the smell left by the kidnappers.

"Origin does not cross the water, then the smell will not disappear even a week my nose can still feel it" said Resi Simharaja indifferently.

"Good then..

"I have an acquaintance not far from this place. We can get to his residence before dark night comes. We must cross this Pemali River first in order to get to my friend's place" said Resi Guru Ekajati immediately.

The four high-scientific warriors immediately crossed the Pemali River in their own way. Rishi Guru Ekajati, for example, chose to trace the land of the banks of the Pemali River as hard as possible until his body bounces high in the air. Upstairs, he salted twice and then slid down across the river.

Nyai Larasati uses a different way. He quickly climbed up the coconut tree that grew on the bank of the great river. Upon reaching the treetops, he slashed one palm leaf midrib and used it to slide across the river.

Another way Jaka Umbaran. This young warrior was wandering around looking for something he could use to cross the Pemali River. A big smile was on his face when he saw some bumps (tree ) bananas scattered around his place. Using his inner strength, he kicked one by one the banana shackles into the river.

Dhhaaaassshhh dhhaaassshhh!!

Byyuurrrr bhyyuuurrrrrrr!!

After that, Jaka Umbaran immediately jumped on top of the banana bobble to cross the Pemali River. Resi Simharaja chose to follow the steps of the master. Both of them jumped on a banana hedge until they reached the other side of the big river safely.

After the four of them had gathered again, the four immediately rushed towards the southwest where a resident settlement called Wanua Tegalglagah was located. The four of them immediately headed to a house at the end of the village.

"Sampurasun.", said Resi Guru Ekajati in front of the door of the house roofed by dried reeds. There were footsteps approaching the entrance of the house.

Krrriieeeeettttt...

"Rampes...

I'm sorry, Kisanak, what's going on in the afternoon like you're visiting my house?", asked a white-bearded old man in a modest dress typical of commoners.

"Mundingjaya..

Have you forgotten about me?", Resi Guru Ekajati smiled widely. The white-bearded old man immediately squinted his eyes while recalling the old face that was in front of him. As his memory returned again, the old geezer's eyes widened instantly.

"Ekajati?? Is it true that you are Ekajati my old friend?", said Mundingjaya half in disbelief to see his old friend who has been invisible for decades now appear before him.

"It's me, of course, Mundingjaya..

Hehehehe doesn't feel like we've been apart for decades. Time goes by so fast" said Resi Guru Ekajati immediately.

"Jagad Dewa Batara..

Come on in Ekajati. There are so many things I want to ask you. Eh who are they?", Mundingjaya pointed to Jaka Umbaran, Nyai Larasati and Resi Simharaja who stood behind Resi Guru Ekajati.

"They're all my traveling companions. This is Jaka Umbaran, Nyai Larasati and Resi Simharaja", Resi Guru Ekajati introduced his friends to his old friend.

That night, Resi Guru Ekajati and Mundingjaya reminisced by revealing their stories after leaving the Astanaraja School. As fellow former students there, the two finally understood each other the cause of the exit of the Resi Guru Ekajati from the Astanaraja Deity.

"So you also realized something was wrong with the current leader of Astanaraja, Mundingjaya?", asked Resi Guru Ekajati immediately.

"Before I came out, I caught Lord Master Resi Atmabrata taking some young girls down the eastern rock cliff. I know because I followed him. There is a cave whose mouth is covered with lush vegetation spread until a glance will not be seen. I didn't dare go inside because there was a foul nose-piercing smell coming out of the cave's mouth.

Then I heard a loud scream from the mouth of a woman in the cave, Ekajati. I think the girl was made a victim. I dare to say so because after that there was a smell of blood coming out from inside", said Mundingjaya full of confidence.

"Hemmmmmmm apparently right my guess..

Atmabrata can gain martial skills and high power in a short time and defeat me first, apparently he is allied with the devil. Absolutely cannot be forgiven" said Resi Guru Ekajati as he clenched his hands tightly.

"Resi Simharaja, did you smell the presence of Nyai Larasati's student?", asked Resi Guru Ekajati as she turned to Resi Simharaja who was sitting near the door of the house.

"Northwest. The kidnapper took him to the northwest" Resi Simharaja replied briefly. Hearing that answer, Resi Guru Ekajati was surprised instead of playing. Nyai Larasati immediately asked this white-clothed old man.

"What is Teacher's Resi? Why do you look so surprised?"

Resi Guru Ekajati let out a long sigh before answering Nyai Larasati's question,

"The kidnapper must have taken Rengganis to the place I just talked about with Mundingjaya.

Gronggong Hill.."
