The Ancestral Country
Use of Palaguna

Sekar Mayang scratched his head that did not itch to hear the answer Panji Watugunung. Laman immediately handed over the spoils of the robbers to Lurah Darsana to be returned to the residents who were victims of the robbers.

That morning, the group of Watugunung Panji continued their journey back after saying goodbye to Lurah Darsana. They headed west down the streets along the north of the Bengawan Solo river.

On the bank of a small river, they stopped. The small river is the boundary of the Duchy of Lasem and Kalingga.

"Over this river has entered the Pakuwon Wadangdowo Gusti Pangeran area" said Lamana pointed to the bank of a small river which is a rice field.

It seemed that the land cultivators were busy doing their work.

Panji Watugunung nodded while listening to Lamana's explanation.

After dining on the small river bank, they continued their journey towards the town of Pakuwon Wakangdowo located at the foot of Ungaran mountain.

The air makes the air feel cold. Arriving in the town of Pakuwon Wakangdowo, Lamana took Panji Watugunung and his entourage to the palace of Pakuwon Wakandowo.

The soldiers guarding the gates of the Pakuwon palace immediately stopped them once they reached the front of the palace gates.

"Stop!

Whoareyou? Ordinary people are forbidden to enter the palace of Pakuwon", said the palace gatekeeper.

Lamana immediately jumped down from his horse followed by Panji Watugunung, his three concubines, as well as Candani, Harsa and Gentala.

"Tell Akuwu Mpu Magani, that I am Lawana coming" Lamana told the gatekeeper of Pakuwon palace.

The soldier immediately rushed towards the private room Akuwu Wakangdowo.

"Who are you? Proud to send soldiers as good as your eels" said Candani who stared intently at Lawana when the soldier entered the palace.

"You'll see" Lawana replied indifferently.

Not long after, the soldier returned in a hurry.

"Please enter Den..

It has been waiting for Gusti Akuwu", said the soldier with a frightened face.

Lawana walks towards Pakuwon Wakangdowo's pisowan hall. Behind him, the Watugunung Panji and his entourage followed.

"Magani saluted Gusti Bekel Lawana" Akuwu Wakandowo told Lawana.

"Thank you for your hospitality Mpu Magani.

I have a letter of duty from Senopati Lokananta.

You read well before you return it to me", Lawana handed over a letter to the Akuwu Wakangdowo. In a hurry, Mpu Magani immediately opened the red cloth that became the wrapping of the letter and read it. There was a surprised hue on Akuwu's face. Immediately after reading, Mpu Magani handed back the letter to Lawana.

"I obey with orders from Senopati Lokananta, Gusti Bekel..

But I cannot carry out the task directly. My youngest daughter is sick Gusti", said Mpu Magani while looking down.

"What pain Ki Kuwu?", Panji Watugunung open his voice.

"Sorry who is this Kisanak?", asked Akuwu Wakangdowo immediately.

"Include Mpu Magani, this is Gusti Pangeran Panji Watugunung in the letter from Senopati Lokananta earlier" Lawana said immediately.

Everyone was shocked to hear Lawana's words except for Panji Watugunung's concubine. Mpu Magani immediately knelt down and worshiped.

"Ampuni Gusti's servant Prince.

Akuwu was so blind not knowing there was a prince Daha who visited this Wakangdowo".

"Of course, not much custom.

What pain is your daughter?", asked Panji Watugunung immediately.

"Hamba did not know Gusti Prince, but the brahmin of Siwatantra Ungaran was treating him", Mpu Magani immediately honored.

"Can we see his Ki Kuwu?", Panji Watugunung smiled faintly.

"It is with great pleasure that Gusti Prince" said Akuwu Wakangdowo who immediately rushed towards his youngest daughter's bedroom. Patugunung Panji immediately followed accompanied by his three concubines. Lawana who was about to follow, pulled her hand by Candani.

"Valley,

Explain who Watugunung's brother really is? Is he really the Prince of Daha?", Candani looked at Lamana's face curiously. Harsa and Gentala also surrounded Lamana.

"He is indeed the prince of Daha, Candani. He's the husband of Prabu's eldest daughter Samarawijaya. Most likely, if Prabu Samarawijaya has no sons and only daughters, then it is very likely that his wife becomes Rani Daha. Thus, the government must be governed by her husband", Lamana replied with a faint smile.

Candani, Harsa and Gentala are shocked to hear Lamana's words.

"But why as the prince of Daha, did he not bring any personal bodyguards or Lamana warriors? And his clothes were just like an ordinary young swordsman", Harsa still could not believe Lamana's words.

Laman smiling thinly.

"What are Harsa's personal bodyguards or soldiers made of?

He is a powerful mandraguna. Have you ever heard of the Jerangkong Hill Devil? Or news of the Watugaluh raid a few months ago? He finished it.

At first I couldn't believe it, seeing that he was so young. But the events in Randuombo the other day really opened my eyes that Gusti Pangeran Panji Watugunung was a great warrior".

Candani, Harsa and Gentala looked at each other as if they could not believe what they had just heard. That all this time, they traveled with a man who became a byword among white warriors. His teacher, Resi Soka greatly admired the figure of the young swordsman who made the name of the white warriors. Candani regretted a little because she had dared to underestimate the ability of Panji Watugunung martial arts.

"Wait, wait,

How do you know all that? Who are you?", asked Gentala to Lamana.

"I Bekel Lamana, the personal bodyguard of Gusti Senopati Lokananta of Kalingga", Lamana replied with a faint smile and passed following Panji Watugunung and his three concubines to the bedroom of the youngest daughter Akuwu Wakangdowo.

For the second time, the three disciples of Mount Alang-alang led by Mpu Soka were surprised instead of playing. Soon they rushed after Lamana.

In the room of the youngest daughter Akuwu Wakangdowo named Dewi Wardani, 2 Brahmins are reciting a puja spell for Dewi Wardani when Akuwu Mpu Magani enters with Panji Watugunung and his three concubines. Mpu Magani's wife Pu Parwati waited anxiously.

"What happened to Ki Kuwu?", asked Panji Watugunung who felt a strange air in the room room.

"A week ago, a man named Palaguna came to the palace of Pakuwon Wakandowo with an old man, Gusti Pangeran. He applied for a proposal for a slave daughter. But out of feeling strange, the servant's daughter refused him.

He was angry, then he left Pakuwon palace. Moments after his departure, the servant's daughter fell unconscious.

According to the physician, the youngest daughter of this servant was not sick. But he remained unconscious. Then a brahmin suggested that the servant contact Siwatantra Ungaran for help. And this morning, these two brahmins were present to pray", Mpu Magani explained everything with a sad look on her face.

Hmmmm

'The black magic', Inner Panji Watugunung.

"You okay, brahmana?", Panji Watugunung looked at the pale-looking brahmin's face. Blood was still flowing at the corner of his lips.

"I'm fine, young swordsman. Only this use is too strong" said the brahmin, coughing a few times.

Patugunung Panji immediately turned to Mpu Magani.

"Ki Kuwu, invite pandita and some people who can do puja mantra.

Hurry along!".

Mpu Magani immediately rushed to the courtyard. 2 guards immediately ran to the pandita house. Shortly after, the guard returned with a pandita and 4 cantriknya. They immediately entered the room.

"The Brahmins, recite the mantra puja now, do not break it" said Panji Watugunung who immediately sat cross-legged on the floor of the room room. 7 people immediately formed a circle around Panji Watugunung.

With arms crossed in front of the chest, Panji Watugunung cast the mantra Ajian Ngrogoh Sukma Warok Suropati.

Elsewhere, a long-bearded old geezer was sitting cross-legged on a sprinkling of roses, jasmine and ylang. A handsome-looking young man looked expectantly waiting.

Apparently he was waiting for the body of the old grandfather who was guarding the tribe of Dewi Wardani from the prayers of the brahmins. Sukma the old grandfather named Ki Rongkot seemed to be preparing in an invisible realm.

Whuttt...

Sukma Ki Rongkot was surprised when he saw the Sanji Watugunung tribe coming. He had not expected that anyone would be able to break through his black magic spell.

"Take him off, man,

Do not dirty your hands with nothing" said sukma Panji Watugunung immediately.

"Huhhhh

It's none of your business, young man. Once I act, abstain from retreating before it succeeds" said Sukma Ki Rongkot as he turned the mace in his right hand.

"If you're stubborn, don't blame me for acting mean to old man", sukma Panji Watugunung immediately jumped towards Sukma Ki Rongkot who stood in front of the unseen rope bond on the body of Dewi Wardani.

Sukma Ki Rongkot welcomes the attack of Sukma Panji Watugunung with his mace swing.

Deshhhhhhh

The violent clash of attacks made Ki Rongkot's body tremble violently. Sweat poured from his forehead. While on the other hand, the body of Panji Watugunung looks shaken a little. The brahmins, panditas and 4 others continued to cast spells of puja spells.

The fierce battle between the Panji Watugunung and Ki Rongkot tribes continues to be fierce. When Panji Watugunung's hard kick hit Ki Rongkot's chest, the old man roared loudly and vomited blood. Feeling unable to win the fight, Sukma Ki Rongkot immediately returned to his body. The old body that was originally stiff instantly moved and vomited fresh blood.

Meanwhile, Sukma Panji Watugunung immediately grabbed Sukma Dewi Wardani and immediately returned to his body.

Panji Watugunung immediately opened his eyes and stood up then his right hand touched the forehead of Goddess Wardani. The youngest daughter of Akuwu Wakangdowo slowly opened her eyes. The whole person smiled in relief.

Meanwhile, Ki Rongkot who was furious because he felt defeated, immediately grasped the charcoal coals in front of him.

The old grandfather's mouth was muttering to read something. From his hands, the fireball floated rapidly as the old man blew his.

"Could you be a rancid young man", cried Ki Rongkot while grinning widely.

Panji Watugunung who felt the heat towards his direction immediately recited the spell of Lord Vishnu teachings of Mpu Soma of Ranja.

The fireball stopped in front of the chest of the Watugunung Panji. The brahmins, panditas and 4 cantriknya who had not stood up from his seat directly recited the spell of protection spell. Everyone held their breath seeing all of that.

From the right shoulder of Watugunung, a golden yellow light appeared in a jagged circle of wheels. Rajah Kala Cakra Buana shows his form when there is a false science threatening the life of Panji Watugunung. The brahmins were shocked to see it all.

After he finished chanting the spell, Panji Watugunung immediately flicked the fireball as he said, saying,

"Go back to your messenger".

Thass...

The fireball immediately turned back towards the south.

Ki Rongkot glared when he saw his fireballs turn around. Quickly the old man avoided the lunge of the fireball but the Palaguna behind him could do nothing. The fireball hit Palaguna's chest.

Blarrrr

Loud explosions were heard and the Palaguna roared loudly. The handsome young man's body was thrown and stopped crashing into the wall of Ki Rongkot's residence. Palaguna died instantly.

Ki Rongkot only saw Palaguna dead while wiping the blood flowing at the corner of his lips.

"You asked for all this"
