The Ancestral Country
Telik Sandi Mapanji Garasakan
"Rear, you see them? It seems from the White Padas Padas Padas Putih," said the skinny man to the big man next to him.
"Yes, sister, I guess, do we just kill them now?" whispered Wugu to Tambir, the skinny man..
"Don't Kakang, our job is only to collect information for us to report, lest there clash with them" Tambir replied
"Are you afraid?", I'm Wugu, the 18th disciple of Jerangkong Hill, not afraid of the disciple ! " Wugu bragged himself while smiling cynically with glittering eyes looking intently at Ratna Pitaloka, Panji Watugunung and Sekar Mayang who were busy enjoying food under the shady kosambi tree..
"Yes Kakang, Iq believe in the ability of Kakang silat but have we not been instructed by the teacher to not provoke a ruckus with them?" reply Tambir
"Huhh, if I don't remember the teacher's orders, I've finished them off ! " Wugu whispered as he clenched his hands, "Let's get out of here, before we get caught spying on their college mats" ..
"Come brother" reply Tambir..
The two shadows inched backwards, then darted quickly away from the place..
Meanwhile, Panji Watugunung who realized that there were people watching them breathed a sigh of relief at the two shadows that left the place
'You what they are, what they are looking for in this place' Inner Panji Watugunung by continuing his meal as if nothing happened..
Moments later, a young man approached them
"Watugunung, you're called your teacher, told to face him at his residence"
"Thank you, my brother, soon I will be there" Panji Watugunung told him, the young man then stepped back towards the gate Padepokan Padas Putih.. Among the 200 disciples of Padepokan Padas Putih, only Mpu Sakri has the fewest students.. The rest are students of his older brother and sister Mpu Wanabaya and Mpu Rungkat and his younger brother named Mpu Sasi.. However, even though only 4 students, but their martial skills are among the top 20 in the first rank in Padepokan Padas Putih, especially Panji Watugunung which is ranked second.. While Warigalit ranked 4th, Ratna Pitaloka ranked 5th and Sekar Mayang ranked 7th.. No wonder the other students were so happy with them...

Meanwhile....
Mapatih Narotama's group has 2 days left Kotaraja Kahuripan. They look tired and tired. While pounding their horses, from afar was seen a Wanua in the distance. "Kandi, in front there seems to be Wanua, you know what Wanua is??" said Mapatih Narotama to Mpu Tandi who rode next to him. "Although Gusti Patih, if it is not wrong that Wanua Kitri Gusti, if it really means we have entered Pakuwon Watugaluh" said Mpu Tandi the bekel to his lord.
"Well, we all rest there, find Rama of Wanua Kitri, tell him to face me" said the Mapatih Narotama.
"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Patih" Mpu Tandi said, then kicked his horse faster ahead of the group darted towards Wanua Kitri...
Before long, Mpu Tandi's dark horse was already at Wanua Kitri's gate, seeing that there were guests approaching, they immediately approached her,,
"Sorry Kisanak, what do you need to do to go to Wanua Kitri?" seeing from your clothes you are a soldier from Kedaton Kahuripan" asked the thick-bodied guard
"Aq, Mpu Tandi bekel warrior Kedaton Kahuripan, want to meet this Rama Wanua, quickly call him to come here! " sahut Mpu Tandi
"Well wait a minute Kisanak, we will call" the guard replied, "Sampar, call Rama here quickly! "
The one who was told to immediately run to the residence of Rama Wanua in a hurry
'Uh, he who was told why I did not run, you kebo, just as anyone ordered' umpat Sampar in heart
"Rama.. Rama Mpu, there is a person from Kedaton Kahuripan at the gate of Wanua Kitri! " Rama, where is Rama Mpu?" shouted Sampar as soon as it reached the face of Rama Wanua's house
From inside the house, a white-bearded old man appeared in shock
"What did you say, the emissary from Kedaton Kahuripan?" ask Mpu Sali, Rama Wanua Kitri
"I-iya Mpu, he said he bekel Kedaton Kahuripan soldiers" replied Sampar.
Arriving at the Wanua gate, they immediately approached Mpu Tandi who was standing beside his dark horse..
"While thousands of Gusti's mercy, what are the things that brought Gusti bekel to this remote Wanua Gusti? " Mpu Sali asked while giving his prayers
"Hi Rama Wanua Kitri, know that I am escorting Gusti Mapatih Narotama to Siwatantra Penanggungan.. We want to rest overnight, before continuing the journey.. Can you help me provide a place to stay for us?" suhut Mpu Tandi
"Even thousands of mercy Gusti, in this small Wanua there is no inn like in Kotaraja Kahuripan Gusti, if you would like to please spend the night in Gusti's slave shelter" replied Mpu Sali with a bow of respect
"It's okay, Rama, we thank you for your kindness to us, I will tell this to Gusti Mapatih" finished saying, Mpu Tandi jumped up to his dark horse and darted quickly towards the Mapatih Narotama troupe..
"Slap, Bango hurry you help me prepare the welcome of our guest, Kebo Ireng you stay on guard here" orders Sang Rama to his subordinates
They immediately rushed to the residence of Rama Wanua, preparing food to serve the Mapatih Narotama group
.

"Ampuni servant Gusti Mapatih, if our welcome is less pleasing" Rama Wanua Kitri welcomed the arrival of the Mapatih Narotama troupe,,, the,,
"This is more than enough Rama, I see this Wanua is quite prosperous even though it is far from Pakuwon Watugaluh" said Mapatih Narotama,
"We are just Gusti farmers, every day only planting crops.. We are lucky enough because the land in Wanua Kitri is fertile to grow Gusti crops" said Mpu Sali
That night, the group of Mapatih Narotama spent the night at the residence of Rama Wanua Kitri
Until late they talked about the state of women and the road that will be passed..
A pair of eyes stared at the entourage at Rama Wanua's house,
" Report this to Gusti Mapanji, I will continue to follow their movements, be careful not to be caught by others, Understand you Donggol?" asked an ugly, black-faced man to a short, hunchbacked man next to him
"I understand Kakang Genggong need not worry, my Kanuragan knowledge is enough to defend myself from the foolish warrior warrior" said Donggol
"When Gusti Mapanji becomes king, we will be appointed as his subordinates, our lives must be good Kakang, hahahaha"
"In vain you followed me, it turns out you are not as stupid as you look Donggol, hahahaha" replied Genggong with a chuckle
They are the people of Jerangkong Hill Padepokan known as a pair of Black Demons from Jerangkong Hill, a black faction who is notoriously vile in slaughtering his enemy enemies
But on the orders of his teacher, the Devil of Jerangkong Hill, who was willing to help Mapanji Garasakan intent to become king of Kahuripan, Kahuripan, they spy on the movements of people around Kedaton Kahuripan who are suspected of siding with Samara Wijaya..
The atmosphere is getting hotter in Kedaton Kahuripan..
