The Fighter
Chapter 184 Gold Colored Plate
Wisanggeni pulled the stone box out, but there were no clues to open the stone box. With his inner strength, the man tried to crack it, but the slightest hint of the box showed no cracks. On the edge of the stone, a small threaded line extends around the box.
"Is this small line through, yes, I can open this stone box?" Wisanggeni muttered, his eyes constantly observing the box. Slowly, the man took out a small knife of Nabau mustika. With a sharp look, the tipped end of the knife he incised twisted following the small line.
"Clang.." the little knife was even released, when the tip of the taper collided with the stone box, it sounded like it was clashing with iron.
"It turns out hard also this stone box.., do you have any other way to open this box Ulung...?" feeling out of ways to open the stone box, Wisanggeni asked the pet. The Lion Wags its tail, indicating that the beast does not know it either. Wisanggeni was silent for a while, the man scratched his head, indicating that he currently did not have the idea to open the stone box. Suddenly Wisanggeni remembered with a written quote written on a leaf scroll.
"There is emptiness, and emptiness is inevitability. Pursue voidness with a pure and clean heart, do not pursue voidness by basing on animal naf*su. Is this sentence related to how to open this box?" back Wisanggeni thought.
"Perhaps because there is more desire to know the contents of this stone box, everything becomes useless. In the desire of a person unconsciously appears greed there. If indeed Hyang Widhi willed, there is no need to bother what is our soul mate, then all will come and settle on us." after examining the meaning of the sentence implied in the scrolls pontoon, Wisanggeni finally sat back down cross-legged.
Not long after, Wisanggeni was already sitting with his eyes closed. The thought of what was contained in the box was completely unthinkable, the man emptied his mind and soul. Seeing Wisanggeni do just that, the Deer Lion lowered his body to the ground. Not long after, the beast followed what the man had done.
Half a day passed, the two beings inside the ground still continued to sit in meditation. Suddenly a haze like smoke appeared from above, slowly descending and enveloping Wisanggeni and the Lion Clouds. Initially, the man was not disturbed, but the longer as the smoke grew thicker, Wisanggeni's chest felt tight. Still in a sitting position, Wisanggeni inhaled a deep breath, but the pain in his heart suddenly came as the man tried to exhale.
Wisanggeni tried to hold on, although with a gasp of breath, the man was still in his meditative position. After some time passed, suddenly...
"Dukk.." suddenly there was a rock from above that slid down quickly. Because it is still in a meditative position, Wisanggeni is not able to avoid let alone evade. The rock fell right on the man's eel, then bounced off the top of the stone box. Due to the pain, and feeling that there was a flow of blood dripping, Wisanggeni slowly opened his eyes. The man ended his meditation.
When Wisanggeni's eyes opened, he unconsciously looked at the stone above the stone box. The man was surprised, seeing that there was a small part of the surface of the stone box as if it was open. Slowly Wisanggeni came back to the stone, and his hand lifted the stone on top of the box.
"It is because of my blood that this stone box is opened." said Wisanggeni. Finally the man had an idea, slowly his hand came back holding the small knife in his hand. Without thinking again, the man suddenly slashed a knife towards his arm. Blood suddenly flowed from his arm, and the man directly aimed the droplets of blood at the long little thread that was on the surface of the box.
Some time while waiting, suddenly Wisanggeni's ears heard a hissing sound. It turned out that the blood that flowed onto the stone box, slowly gnawed at the surface of the stone. Not long after, the surface of the stone box became open. Wisanggeni's gaze widened to see there was a kind of stone plate in the open stone box. But when the man put his hand in to take the plate, suddenly the plate shot and flew fast...
Wisanggeni smiled, his eyes glancing towards the plate above. But recalling the meaning implied in the sentence on the scroll, the man simply smiled and stared at the plate once more. Slowly the man closed his eyes and continued the process of meditation.
**********
Some time spent by Wisanggeni to meditate, as well as the Ulung Lion who was still at home accompanying him. Suddenly in his meditation, Wisanggeni felt that there was a golden light in front of his face, Slowly the man opened his eyes, and a golden light left him quickly. Wisanggeni smiled, his eyes observing the golden light. It turned out that the light was sourced from the stone plate that came from the stone box earlier. The man was trying to be stupid, he was not trying to chase the golden glowing plate. Again Wisanggeni closed his eyes, and continued the process of meditation.
"Auuuummmm.." It was only a moment when the man closed his eyes that his ears heard the sound of the Caterpillar Lion roaring. Feeling worried about the safety of the animal that always accompanied him, Wisanggeni slowly opened his eyes.
Unexpectedly, it turns out that the Ulung Lion is biting the gold glowing plate using its fangs. Seeing that Wisanggeni had awakened from his meditation, the beast walked up to the man. Wisanggeni's hand grabbed the golden glowing plate from the mouth of the Ulung Lion. With a smile on his lips, Wisanggeni rubbed the plate.
"It turns out this plate is indeed a match for me. But what's the point for me?" while flipping through the plates in his palm, Wisanggeni kept thinking. Back his hand placed a plate on one of his palms, and the right hand gently rubbed the plate from top to bottom three times..
"Siuuwww.." suddenly the wind blew fiercely, but then it disappeared quickly. Without realizing it, the gold glowing plate had suddenly entered and absorbed in Wisanggeni's left palm.
