The Ancestral Country
Pupil Padepokan Padas Putih

Garungwangi continued to drive his horse towards the town of Kayuwarajan Kadiri. By midday, Garungwangi arrived in front of the Katang-katang palace. In front of the gate of Katang-katang palace, 4 soldiers guard the palace gate stop him.

"Stop the kisanak", said a soldier guarding the palace gate by crossing his spear.

"What do you need to do to the Katang-katang palace?", asked a well-built guard.

"I want to meet Gusti Pangeran Panji Jayengrana, or Gusti Senopati Warigalit.

There is important news from Padepokan Padas Putih", replied Garungwangi politely.

"Wait here, kisanak,

I will meet Gusti Pangeran Panji Jayengrana", said the strong-bodied soldier.

Garungwangi nodded in understanding and the strong-bodied soldier immediately stepped into the grand paseban hall of Kayuwarajan Kadiri.

Patugunung Panji was sitting on his great chair. The Prince of Daha held his chin while listening to the explanations of some of the palace magnates Kayuwarajan Kadiri.

The strapping-bodied soldier immediately walked squat as soon as he entered the grand paseban. As soon as he arrived before the Watugunung Panji, he worshipped and sat down cross-legged.

"What's the soldier? Is there anything important that you need to report to me?", asked Panji Watugunung immediately.

"Please forgive Gusti Prince,

A young man claimed to bring important news from Padas Putih Padas. He wants to meet with Gusti Pangeran Panji Jayengrana or Gusti Senopati Warigalit", replied the strong-bodied soldier later.

Patugunung Panji immediately turned his head towards Warigalit who was sitting on his right side.

After Warigalit gave a subtle nod, Panji Watugunung immediately raised his right hand as a sign that he was willing to accept.

"Please him in", said the Yuwaraja Panjalu immediately.

The soldier worshipped, then turned with a squat road to the end of the great paseban hall. Then he stepped towards the palace gate.

Not long after, he returned with a young man who was none other than Garungwangi, one of Padepokan Padas Putih's students who was Mpu Wanabhaya's student.

In the same way, the two of them immediately sat cross-legged in front of Watugunung Panji. The banner of Watugunung and Warigalit recognized the young man.

"What made you come here, brother Garungwangi? Is there a problem with Padas Putih Padas?", asked Panji Watugunung while looking at Garungwangi.

Garungwangi immediately saluted the Watugunung Panji.

"Ampuni me Gusti Prince, please,

I came here because there was a problem. Padepokan Bukit Jerangkong with the black swordsmen in the Jenggala region intend to destroy Padepokan Padas Putih. They want to demand revenge for their defeat of Gusti Pangeran on Padepokan Padas Putih because they consider the White Padas supporting the struggle Gusti Pangeran" Garungwangi said politely.

"On what basis do they think that?", asked Panji Watugunung immediately.

"It was due to the incitement of the Gray Devil and the Demon Sword which is now the supreme leader of the Jerangkong Hill Padepokan, Gusti Prince.

At the middle of this full moon they plan to attack Padepokan Padas Putih.

I beg Gusti Pangeran and Gusti Senopati Warigalit to be willing to lend a helping hand to Padas Putih. Teacher Wanabhaya is sick, Mpu Sasi has been imprisoned in Goa Moksa. Only Mpu Rungkat and Mpu Sakri and Mpu Narasima are still reliable. Most of the students are new students, because the same age as Gusti Prince has many who return to their respective home regions" Garungwangi replied with respect.

Hmmmm

"This issue we're discussing elsewhere.

Uncle Patih Saketi,

Disperse the great burden. And you are Garungwangi's brother, follow me with Kakang Warigalit", said Panji Watugunung as he stood up from his seat of greatness. Everyone in the grand paseban hall immediately worshipped Watugunung Panji, then the man stepped into Yuwaraja's private room followed by Garungwangi and Senopati Warigalit.

After the Watugunung Panji and Warigalit and Garungwangi left, Patih Saketi immediately disbanded the pisowan of the Kayuwarajan Kadiri palace officials.

Arriving at Yuwaraja's private room, Panji Watugunung immediately sat on his chair. Warigalit immediately sat cross-legged on the floor of the yuwaraja private room followed by Garungwangi.

"Garungwangi Brothers,

Where did you hear the news?", asked Panji Watugunung while looking towards Garungwangi.

"I stole the conversation of the Black Cockroach from the Jerangkong Hill Temple and the Green Serpent Goddess from the Valley of the Wind as it descended to the town of Pakuwon Bandar one full moon ago.

At first I did not heed their conversation, but three days ago, Wirotama who was descending to the city of Pakuwon Bandar also heard the same thing but from the students of the Orange Lotus Padepokan and Pasuruhan Tiger.

Means it can be ascertained that all this is not just news for the mere thumb of Gusti Pangeran", said Garungwangi straightforwardly.

Hmmmm

"Warigalit's back, though,

What do you think of this matter?", Panji Watugunung turned to Warigalit.

"Sorry Dhimas Prince,

Padas Putih is located in Jenggala. If we bring soldiers there, it is the same as us raising war flags on Jenggala.

We must be careful in acting for the time being" Warigalit said in his honor at the Watugunung Panji.

"You're right, Kakang,

But we can't just ignore this matter either. After all, we are disciples of Padas Putih. There is no way we let anyone who wants to destroy the White Padas just like that", Panji Watugunung seems to frown.

"That's just Kakang,

We will move in disguise so as not to invite attention from Jenggala. For the troops, we will meet my grandmother Dewi Orchid Bulan at Padepokan Orchid Bulan.

They must be willing to help me.

Kayuwarajan Kadiri business, let set by Dinda Anggarawati and Uncle Patih Saketi.

What do you think Kakang Warigalit?", asked Panji Watugunung immediately.

"I agree with your Dhimas policy,

Kayuwarajan Kadiri must continue to run as it should" said Senopati Warigalit while respecting.

After chatting for a while with Garungwangi, Warigalit immediately drove Garungwangi to the guest rest hall Kayuwarajan Kadiri while Panji Watugunung immediately rushed to the private Puri Ratna Pitaloka. Sekar Mayang is also there.

"What is Kakang Watugunung? Looks like something important?", asked Ratna Pitaloka who immediately stood up when she saw Panji Watugunung coming to her private castle.

"Something urged Dinda Pitaloka.

Do you remember Garungwangi?", Panji Watugunung looked at the beautiful face of Ratna Pitaloka.

"Remember Kakang, please,

Wasn't he Mpu Wanabhaya's student?", Ratna Pitaloka smiled at Patugunung Panji immediately.

"What's wrong with Garungwangi Kakang?", said Sekar Mayang who had just been silent.

"Garungwangi came with bad news. According to the news that he heard, there was a plan to destroy Padepokan Padas Putih by black leaders led by Padepokan Bukit Jerangkong", said Panji Watugunung immediately.

Ratna Pitaloka and Sekar Mayang were surprised not to listen to the words Patugunung Panji.

"We can't let that happen Kakang,

After all, we are disciples of Padepokan Padas Putih" Ratna Pitaloka said solemnly.

"True Kakang, Padas Putih is a second home for us. We all grew up there", said Sekar Mayang immediately.

So that afternoon it was immediately decided to leave for Padas Putih. Kayuwarajan Kadiri affair is handled by Dewi Anggarawati, Ayu Galuh and Patih Saketi. Cempluk Rara Sunti is in charge of guarding his honeymoon brother Ayu Galuh who just finished his puerperium.

While Panji Watugunung, Dewi Srimpi, Ratna Pitaloka, Sekar Mayang and Dewi Naganingrum departed to Mount Penanggungan with Warigalit, Ratri and Garungwangi.

That same afternoon, they in ordinary clothes drove their horses towards Bukit Lanjar to ask for help from the Moon Orchid Goddess.

At night, they arrived at the foot of Bukit Lanjar. The eight immediately lit a torch as a streetlight. The moon was more than half, hanging beautifully in the dark night sky accompanying their horse footsteps through the night.

A young woman in the watchtower saw 8 torches moving towards the gate of Padepokan Orchid Bulan, immediately elbowing her friend who overslept.

"Wake up,

The sleeping young woman immediately woke up, and immediately glared at the moving torch in the darkness of the night.

"Congratulations,

I will report to Kangmbok Orchid Perak. You just wait here" said the thin young lady as she immediately jumped down from the watchtower.

The woman immediately ran towards the direction where the Silver Orchid who was the second main disciple of the Moon Orchid Goddess.

"Silver Kangmbok, please,

There are 8 torches moving quickly towards Padepokan" said the young woman thin body immediately.

The Silver Orchid who was engrossed in reciting the lontar lontar mantra, immediately turned towards the young woman. Soon he kept the thrower in his closet, and immediately approached the young woman.

"You go immediately to Master's place, tell me about this matter. I am going to the gate now", said the Silver Orchid who immediately grabbed his sword and ran towards the gate, while the young woman immediately headed to the main porch Padepokan Orchid Bulan to meet her professor.

The Silver Orchid immediately jumped into the air then landed on the watchtower beside the gate of the Moon Orchid Padepokan.

At the same time, Panji Watugunung and his entourage had reached the gate Padepokan Orchid Bulan.

Seeing the tightly shut gate, Panji Watugunung immediately shouted out loudly.

"We disciples of Padepokan Padas Putih want to meet the Moon Orchid Goddess".

Hearing that voice, the Silver Orchid immediately jumped down to the front of the gate.

"Who are you? Open your caping and show your face", shouted the Silver Orchid as it prepared to fight. The hand of the beautiful woman was already holding the handle of her sword.

Panji Watugunung immediately opened his caping. Then close his face to the torch held in his left hand.

The Silver Orchid immediately recognized the face of Patugunung Panji.

"The Fire Dragon Sword Swordsman?

Is this really you?", asked the Silver Orchid with a faint smile.

"This is a Silver Orchid. I want to meet the Moon Orchid Goddess", replied Watugunung while staring at the Silver Orchid.

The main disciple of the Moon Orchid Padepokan immediately tweeted long.

Krietttt

The gate of Padepokan Orchid Bulan is open, and the group of Watugunung Panji immediately entered the padepokan following the steps of the Silver Orchid towards the porch of the main residence Padepokan Orchid Bulan.

There have been waiting for the Moon Orchid Goddess with the company of Golden Orchid and 4 Goddess Protector Padepokan Moon Orchid.

"Sorry to interrupt your break grandma" Panji Watugunung said immediately after sitting cross-legged on the floor of the foyer.

Everyone was shocked to hear the words of Panji Watugunung except Ratna Pitaloka and Sekar Mayang. Because Dewi Orchid Bulan looks the same age as Panji Watugunung.

Hehehehe

There was laughter from the mouth of the Moon Orchid Goddess.

"You already know apparently, Good Boy.

Did Gunungsari tell you?", said the Moon Orchid Goddess with a faint smile.

"Wait a minute, Teacher,

This Fire Dragon Sword Swordsman is your grandson?", asked the curious Golden Orchid.

"Truly he's my grandson, the Golden Orchid. Her grandmother is my older sister, so she belongs to my granddaughter right?", replied the Moon Orchid Goddess with a knotty smile.

"But Master, why does he look the same age as you?", asked the Silver Orchid who was no less curious.

"It was discussed next time.

Watugunungs,

What business do you have at night coming here?", asked the Moon Orchid Goddess immediately.

Panji Watugunung immediately told about the news heard from Garungwangi on the Moon Orchid Goddess. The beautiful woman immediately rubbed her chin while carrying a beard.

"So your goal here is to ask for help to Padepokan Orchid Bulan to prepare for the situation that will occur in Padas Putih?", asked Dewi Orchid Bulan immediately.

"True Grandma,

Grandma is the only hope I can ask for help with this matter. If I move my troops, then it will definitely be a big problem between Panjalu and Jenggala" Watugunung replied as he looked at the woman's face.

Hmmmm

"I owe it to you, also to the Hand of Fire.

All right then.

4 Goddess Protector,

I leave to you the Moon Orchid Padepokan as long as I bring half of the Moon Orchid Padepokan disciples to Padas Putih. If there is a problem, the Eastern Protective Goddess decides matters.

Do you understand?", Moon Orchid Goddess gazed towards the 4 Guardian Goddesses of the Moon Orchid Padepokan.

"We understand the leader" the four women said simultaneously.

That night, Panji Watugunung and his entourage rested at Padepokan Orchid Bulan.

The next morning, Dewi Orchid Bulan accompanied by Orchid Gold and Orchid Silver brought 50 selected students to join Panji Watugunung group heading towards Padepokan Padas Putih.

Far to the east, 200 men dressed in swordsmen with various clothes and weapons moved towards Padepokan Padas Putih.

The Grey Demon grinned widely as it turned towards the hundreds of black faction warriors.

"White Pads, please,

The day after tomorrow you will be flattened with the ground!"
