The Fighter
Chapter 85 The bloody axe
A shadow resembling a large tall male with reddened eyes looked at Wisanggeni and Rengganis with a gaze full of anger. There was an axe in the man's hand that was still dripping blood. With a sinister look, the man slowly approached towards them. Wisanggeni quickly shifted Rengganis and used his body to cover the man's gaze on his lover.
"Ha..., ha.., ha.., who are you, the pair of young people who will deliver death in this ancient cemetery?' laughing out loud the big tall man asked them.
"Sorry Ki Sanak.., my name is Wisanggeni descendants of Ki Wijanarko who is said to be buried in this cemetery. As a descendant, it is my duty to serve and give my condolences to him. And behind me this, she is Rengganis daughter of Ki Sasmita whose ancestors were also buried in this cemetery. Greetings from the two of us to Ki Sanak." regardless of the anger of the man, Wisanggeni invited Rengganis to bow his body to pay his respects to the man in front of him.
The man was silent for a moment, he did not expect to still find anyone who knew adab and manners. All this time, people who enter the cemetery without permission always end up with the axe. They always had an arrogant disposition, and tried to challenge him. But he did not find things arrogant on those two humans in front of him.
"Do you think, I can easily fool you with your looks. Show me what evidence would convince me if you were descended from the great men of the past. I don't want to, there's a mistake I made as the guardian of the peace of this cemetery!" with a voice that had started to decline, the man asked for evidence.
"Nimas...., what proof should I bring out? Does Nimas have any evidence as well?" in a soft voice, Wisanggeni asked Rengganis.
"Rengganis also confused Akang, because earlier Rengganis escorted Ki Narendra directly came here. After his father told Akang, Rengganis could confirm if Kang Wisang was heading straight here." it turns out Rengganis was also confused, what object he would use to prove if he was a descendant of Jagadklana.
Wisanggeni thought for a while, he felt that he had not received any distribution from Ki Mahesa, but when his mother was about to die, he felt that he had not yet gotten any distribution of goods from Ki Mahesa, mother left a box on Hapsoro that contained a dagger and shawl she used for dowry on Rengganis. Feeling confused, slowly and doubtfully, Wisanggeni took a dagger and he showed it to the creepy man.
For a moment the big tall man looked at the dagger in Wisanggeni's hand. Unexpectedly the man immediately lowered his body and sat down in front of Wisanggeni. With a look of disbelief, the man looked at WIsanggeni with gentleness.
"After a long time, I saw again the heirloom knife of Den Ayu Ratri.." murmured the creepy man.
Wisanggeni looked at Rengganis, the young man was confused when his daughter's eye name was called the creepy man.
"Sorry Ki Sanak.., what is the relationship between Ki Sanak and my daughter Eyang?" Wisanggeni ventured to ask the creepy man.
"Young man, I am the Bloody Axe. In the past, I served as the personal bodyguard of Den Ayu Ratri.., I recognized the dagger very well, Uncle Ampuni who could no longer recognize the descendants of Den Ayu Ratri.." the creepy man lowered his head until it touched the ground in front of him.
"Wake up uncle.., take me and Nimas Rengganis to the tomb of our ancestor Eyang Widjanarko. I'll say hi and bow to him." Wisanggeni walked forward, then crouched down and raised the man's head then straightened it.
As the sinister man looked at him, Wisanggeni smiled then nodded his head.
"Follow me young..!" Wisanggeni grabbed Rengganis' hand, slowly they followed behind the creepy man.
"Bang*** sat.\, how dare you betray me Narendra. Don't you think\, how dangerous the ancient burial was\, and you instead ushered my daughter Rengganis into the cemetery without any preparation. Do you know who the Bloody Axe is..\, the spirit of the man in charge of maintaining the peace of the tomb was\, do you think that you will allow my daughter to enter the territory??" angrily\, Ki Sasmito slapped Ki Narendra at the pendhopo Jagadklana.
Rengganis' mother cried sobbing, hearing the news that Ki Narendra delivered, if her favorite daughter Rengganis followed her lover's third son Bhirawa Clan to enter the ancient cemetery. Without any evidence that they were descendants of the breed that had been buried in the tomb, the guardian spirits would not have easily allowed them to enter.
"I am Chairman, but this old me has faith. If Nimas Rengganis will be safe and secure, if he is with Den Wisanggeni. The chief did not think that the young boy was a weak man. Within his body was the bloodline of Ki Widjanarko, and who knows, the youngster would have resurrected his bloodline inside that ancient cemetery." Ki Narendra made up the reason why he delivered and allowed Rengganis to go along with Wisanggeni.
"Plak.." a loud slap was addressed to Ki Narendra by Ki Sasmita who was still looking at him with an angry look.
"Only with your hopes and silly thoughts would you dare to sacrifice my daughter along with the immature youngster." cried Ki Sasmita.
The mother of Rengganis immediately stood up and held her husband. The middle-aged woman, then sat him in a chair made of rattan wood woven.
"Patience Kangmas.., who knows what Ki Narendra said is true. Having accompanied Rengganis from our daughter since she was a child, I am sure Ki Narendra will not have the heart to let our daughter be in a difficult situation." Rengganis' mother tried to calm her husband's heart.
Ki Sasmita was silent, he was just staring at the darkness of the night out there. Slowly the old man took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled it out.
"Ki Narendra. Take a break. Leave me and Kangmas Sasmita alone in this room." Rengganis' mother asked Ki Narendra to withdraw.'
"All right Nimas.." Ki Narendra immediately rushed to leave the two leaders of the Jagadklana Trah in pendhapa.
"My husband.., it's good that we should immediately devise a kangmas strategy. I'm so worried about the safety of the Rengganis, it's good that we gather some elders to stand guard outside the ancient cemetery." The mother of Rengganis in a voice slowly and worriedly conveyed the proposal to her husband.
After silence, Ki Sasmita finally spoke..
"Yes Nimas.., the safety of our daughter is the main thing. I myself will lead the elders to try to enter the cemetery."
