Maize Adventurer Softener
Chapter 61

Sari is still busy photographing and taking pictures of some heirlooms and relics of the Majapahit kingdom. Sari was accompanied by a guide from the museum manager.

Some relics of Majapahit culture quite interesting Sari. Reportedly the Trowulan Museum is a museum that holds the most complete Majapahit royal relic in Indonesia. In addition, the Trowulan Museum also stores relics from the kingdoms of Kahuripan, Singosari, and Kediri.

Unfortunately some historical objects from the Majapahit kingdom are actually sold abroad. The relics were purchased legally by the United States government and are now on display at the Metropolitan Museum in New York.

Among them there is a statue of Parvati, jewelry from copper gold and also three heirlooms of Pataka Majapahit namely Sang Dwija Nareswara Naga, Sang Hyang Baruna, and Sang Hyang Naga Amawabhumi.

Sari still continued shooting, she explored the metal craft section. He was still looking for the possible heirlooms he was looking for in the museum.

"It's unlikely that the sword is here, is it?" Sari monologues while adjusting the lens focus.

"Mak seems to be looking for something?"

"Eh, did you notice me from earlier?!" sari said a little surprised when she heard the museum guide's question.

"Where not to worry, I'm not sure what people answer themselves" said the man who was about in his thirties.

Sari smiled and read the name tag on the museum guide's shirt.

"I mean mad man?!" all I asked was a smile.

"Sorry." 

"Mas ... Andi?! I know, I'm Sari!" 

"Ehm, I don't mean to say mad just amused since I just talked to myself. Is there anything I can help you with?" andi asked as she shook Sari's hand.

"Hmm, I guess the mas also can not help me." said Sari while returning to take pictures.

"Just try, who knows I can." Andi challenges Sari to tell a story.

Sari stopped shooting, closed her camera lens and stared skeptically at Andi.

"I'm looking for a unique heirloom, supposedly it belongs to Minak Jinggo."

Andi looked at Sari with probing eyes. He was still waiting for Sari to speak.

"Sengkayana Sword, what ... is it here?"

Andi stared hesitantly for a moment at Sari, he was a little distrustful of Sari's words. "Sengkayana Sword?"

"Hhmm .. Didn't know?"

"According to the story it is one of the two legendary heirlooms owned by Minak Jinggo. But unfortunately .. we don't have both" Andi replied with a slight hanging.

"From what I've seen it's not here like it." 

"Would you like to see a statue related to Minakjinggo?" Andi offers something that Sari is unlikely to miss.

"Can it be a coincidence?! Where is the statue?!"

Andi takes Sari to the other side of the museum. A unique statue that has wings that is said to be the shape of the legendary King Blambangan Minakjinggo.

"This is a form of Minakjinggo?" ask Sari while taking a picture.

"Actually not mbak, it's just that the surrounding community named this statue with Minakjinggo."

"If judging from its shape this is a form of the god Vishnu in Hindu belief. It has a Garuda mount that is described as having wings." Andy explained.

Sari stared at the statue which unfortunately was not intact in the beak. He still doubts if the statue he is staring at is the form of the legendary king Blambangan.

"A similar "arca is also found in Minakjinggo temple. Half a bird." Andi continued his explanation.

"Minakjinggo Temple? Hhm, where am I curious?!"

"There is on the east side of the Fresh Pool. About 100 meters south of the tomb of Princess Campa. Minakjinggo temple is classified as the most unique, when compared with other temples in the complex of this site."

"Oh Yeah? Hmm, interesting enough to take me there mas Andi?" pinta Sari with great enthusiasm. He hoped to find clues about the Sengkayana sword. At least something that could be used in order to pass the test in the softening dimension.

Once there was a cheat answer in Minakjinggo temple, thank goodness there was an answer to defeat the shadow creature! 

Cckk, remember he's a real gem, I might lose to that dark thing! Eeh, not losing but delaying the victory!

Unknowingly Sari grinned as she followed Andi's steps behind her. They walk out of the museum, but before continuing their footsteps Andi stops and explains something to Sari.

"Mbak Sari has seen Maja tree, the legendary tree mentioned in history as the inspiration for giving the name Majapahit?!"

"I just saw it on television anyway, the tree is here too?" ask Sari who started to turn the camera back on.

"This is the tree." Andi replied with a smile. But Sari saw Andi's smile differently. 

Sari smiled at Andi, this man who seemed to be the same age as her as if teasing her with her sweet smile. His body gesture hinted Andi was interested in him.

You are sweet mas Andi .. baby, I already have the owner, so sorry you can not list so teaser?!

A large tree is located in front of the entrance of the Trowulan museum. Maja fruit (Aegle marmelos) is a plant from the tribe of oranges or Rutaceae whose spread grows in the lowlands to an altitude of ± 500 masl. This plant is found in South and Southeast Asian countries including in Indonesia.

Maja fruit that is large and greenish is considered to have a share of the name Majapahit, although until now there has been no archaeological evidence.

The story of the name Majapahit inspired Maja fruit that tastes bitter when Raden Wijaya opened the Forest of Tarik. This story actually only adopts from the ancient literary script of the Song of Harsawijaya (telling the collapse of Singasari and the establishment of Majapahit) and the literary script of Pararaton. Where the level of validity of the two literary books is under the inscription and Negarakertagama.

"Mas Andi, is this really the taste of the bitter Maja fruit?" sari asked without looking at Andi, he focused on taking pictures of some Maja trees in front of him.

"You need proof? I take it, but it has to be eaten huh?!" Andi offered without hesitation to Sari.

"Eh, no! Just asking Andi! Bitter, I don't want to eat!" reject Sari with a wry smile.

"You'll be bitter to see me, won't you be sweet?!" kelakar Andi's.

Eeh, seriously this is a real person ngodain me what I feel great?!

"Jiiiiah, yes it is said .. Which is even more bitter when looking at the face of the mas?!" sahut Sari with a small laugh, he did not want to hurt the museum guide.

Andi smiled and her face flushed in shame as her seduction failed. "So I'm bitter huh Ma'am?!"

Sari laughed, "Dah ah, yuk to Minak Jinggo temple! I'm curious to see!"

"Ok, take a walk! Not far away."

They walked back to Minakjinggo temple. The place where it is said that Minak Jinggo's body was drunk and prayed for his sins to melt and be forgiven by the Godhead.
