SELAQ
Episode “The Hunters of Immortality” (7)
***
“That's how it happened,” Tumban Baloq Darwire, ending the story.
He just finished describing the events of the rebellion of the Selaqs in the village of Bunge. In front of the six village heads who gathered at the Paseban Agung Perhimpunan Desa Desa Valley Gunung Rinjani.
The six village heads include Akah Village, Tunggak, Lolo, Daun, Buaq, and Pusuk.
“Darwire your testimony is dangerous. You suspect two Selaqs from Tunggak Village are involved. How do you know they are from our village? It could have been them from another village, but slandered our village!” said Tunggak Village Chief, Raden Mas Panji in a high voice.
“True that delivered by Takanda Raden Mas Panji, actually we are concerned about the disaster that befell the village of Bunge, but you call two of our elite troops involved in the Selaq plot. If it turns out that the accusation is wrong, then it is a big slander for us!” chief of Buaq Village, Raden Sigar.
“What's your answer Darwire?” akah Village Chief Nursiwan tried to give him a chance.
“Our best password ...,”
Not done Tumban's talking, Raden Mas Panji cut.
“We ask for proof, don't want to hear you praise the teliksandi your village!”
“I don't bring proof,”
“Well, should be careful talking Darwire. Not directly point Selaq it from this village-that village. You offended us,” regrets Raden Mas Panji is fierce.
“Well, too, we don't corner uncle Darwire. He is in trouble, we are all expected to help. I mean it might be wise if we hear what the reason he concluded there was involvement of residents outside Bunge village in this matter,” interrupted Lolo Village Chief, Rawilih.
“Obviously he has no proof,” Raden Mas Panji, still upset.
“I guess physical evidence is not the only argument, Raden,” Rawilih reply.
“Anywhere proof must be visible to the eye!” tepis Raden Mas Panji Hotel.
“What's your answer uncle Darwire?” Rawilih turned his eyes to the Tumban.
“A huge apology, let the statement hurt the feelings present. I say no bring, not no have. The evidence is in Bunge village. Awake is very secret. It would be very dangerous for me to bring such important evidence, towards Paseban Agung which is far from our village, without the best escort,”
“I came to Paseban Agung with the intention of inviting you all to see all the data and information that we have collected since a long time,” he said.
Daun Village Chief, Kertaji who had been listening, opened his voice.
“Dariwire is right. He was determined and willing to show proof. What do we want to argue again?”
“I just don't accept him directly accusing there is involvement of our villagers!” kesal Raden Mas Panji Hotel.
“That's the usual Raden. You do not need to enlarge which is not the subject. Criminals are everywhere, in every village. Darwire suspects, not accuses. And He invites us to look at the evidence that his telixandya has gathered. Isn't this good?”
“I have said, I do not want the villagers of Tunggak called involved, without being presented with evidence first!” raden Mas Panji's voice boomed, violently he got up, until his chair was thrown backwards.
“You used to accuse eleven of my villagers of stealing in your village, but it is not proven. I'm not as angry as you are at the moment,” said Pusuk Village Chief Arta Prana.
The speech was like a hard nod, right about the face of Raden Mas Panji.
He remembered the embarrassing event. Accusing villagers of Pusuk of theft in Tunggak village. After being traced, the culprit was the villagers of Tunggak himself.
Even worse, the perpetrators are Raden Mas Panji family.
“Already, Panji. Just sit. Do not consider your village the holiest. You just make the discussion unfocused. There is a village of friends hit by problems, you are busy taking care of self-esteem. Do I need to reveal again the disgrace of your village? ” menace Arta Prana.
Raden Mas Panji is not. Raden Sigar refused to extend the issue.
Artha Prana is famous by the name of Village Head ‘Thousand Mata’. It is said that he has teliksandi in every neighboring village. Aib that was hidden neatly in the secret room of another Village, could be revealed easily.
“Allow me to apologize again. But solely because I believe only the related village can control with its secret knowledge. Selaq Mopol only exists in Buaq village, as well as Selaq Ngeres only in Tunggak village. I believe, Tunggak and Buaq have ancestral secret science to fight Selaq,” explained Darwire.
“I think the issue is clear. Bunge village currently needs the controllers Selaq Mopol and Selaq Ngeres," said Rawilih.
"How are Raden Mas Panji and Raden Sigar, are you willing to help Bunge Village?" coined.
“We are willing on condition that the four corners of the Bunge village gate are opened as the entrance of our troops,” said Raden Mas Panji.
“Crazy!” sahut Kertaji's.
“That is impossible for us to fulfill,” said Tumban, flat.
Arta Prana shines a sharp look in Raden Mas Panji's eyes.
“You want to help or attack Bunge village?”
The question made Raden Mas Panji flounder. But soon able to control themselves.
“Selaq Ngeres, has the science of resurrecting corpses. No way, we sent some people. That's very risky for our team,”
“Sama also. We need four corners of the village gate Bunge opened,” said Raden Sigar.
“You conspired,” the sharp words of Arta Prana like a bow of arrows hit the hearts of the two village heads.
“How's Darwire?” arta Prana's view turned to the head of Bunge Village.
“It's a hard choice. Equally risky. But I must refuse to open the four corners of the village gate. Opening can only be done if the village council approves. While I have no authority,” replied Darwire.
“Alright I think it is clear, Pusuk Village, Akah Village, Lolo Village, and Leaf Village that will help Bunge Village,” said Artha Prana.
The meeting age of four village heads left Paseban Agung. Towards each village prepare representative reinforcements.
Tumban Baloq Darwire returns to Bunge Village. While in Paseban Agung lived Raden Mas Panji and Raden Sigar.
“Kanda Raden Mas Panji do you feel anything strange?”
“Entai,”
Raden Mas Panji was overwhelmed by the emergency meeting that had just taken place. Raden Sigar is nervous.
“Kanda, I feel we're stuck in the game,”
Raden Mas Panji stared fixedly at Raden Sigar. In a few moments he digested the intention of his sister-in-law. Until then, something flashed across his head.
“We have to catch up to him!”
“What might be overtaken?” raden Sigar was hesitant.
“We won't know before trying it,” Raden Mas Panji looks furious.
The two village leaders jumped. Move quickly towards Bunge village.

Half of Bunge Village turned into a sea of fire. The uncontrollable Kesur Mopol made it into the heart of the village and began to sow wrathful angkara.
“Where are you!”
The Kesur Mopol gave a fierce shriek, spitting fire from its mouth. He was upset to find Bunge Village empty without a single citizen there.
“As soon as you guys show up or this village I make flat!” Mopol Kesur rampaged so badly.
But the more houses on earth burned down, the more found the village hall empty without anyone.
His nose sniffed the scent of the human body. After being searched, only a shabby cloth was found that stored the sweat of the farmers.
“Damn it, someone tried to outwit my smell,” growled.
The new Kesur Mopol realized, the shabby cloth was deliberately spread to direct it outside the village.
“I will not be fooled by humans!” the upset.
But late, the Village Gate behind him was already sealed shut. There stood dozens of soldiers Krame Village led by Raden Sentane preparing to defend the gate.
“No I let you into our Village!” raden Sentane.
“Then welcome to death!” his screeches.
Mopol Kesur cast a spell. His tongue was suddenly stretched long, after which it branched.
Originally only two branches, it became four, eight, sixteen, and continued to multiply, dozens, to hundreds. Exceeds the number of troops standing guard at the gate.
“Tongue free, just squeeze!” a member of Krame Village.
Their allegations are missing. The tongue is rubbery like rubber. Not even a sharp weapon can hurt the tongue of Mopol Ngeros.
“Agrevoking!” exclaimed the soldier who kept flicking the shiny sword under the light of the gate lamp.
Panic becomes so, when on the tip of the tongue appears the head of a green snake. In an instant, the snake pounced on the neck veins of the troops. Incorporating a very dangerous poison.
“The switch is an accomplished trader. With just a speck of poison, it can take a human life. Isn't that a big advantage?”
Mopol Kesur hissing horribly. In an instant, dozens of Raden Sentane troops were entangled in a long tongue, taking lives.
“The big advantage is everything in trading!”
