The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
The Sacred Tomb of Mount Budeg

"What do you mean Nyi Sekar Mirah?

Did the newly arrived person also fight over the heirloom that appeared in the sacred tomb of Mount Budeg?", asked a middle-aged man wearing a dark red shirt with a brown headband. Highlight the eyes of the man aged about 5 decades looks sharp like the eyes of an eagle, while the fingernails of his fingers extend with a black color that further adds a bad impression on the man with a bushy beard.

"Of course, old bird..

In any case, the two men were warriors. It's just that maybe I just came down the mountain, but my inner eye can't measure how high his martial ability is. And this is what I am worried about", said the beautiful woman called by the name Nyi Sekar Mirah immediately.

Nyi Sekar Mirah is one of the martial world warriors quite reluctant after the era of Patugunung Panji not unfortunate crosswise again because it became the King of Panjalu. A beautiful but quite old woman is famous as the Goddess of Red Shawl. His emergence during the last decade is enough to make him appreciated as one of the white flow figures from the Karang Anom southern Duchy. It is said that the ability of this beautiful woman from the South Cretaceous Mountain Padepokan is very frightening because it can estimate the ability of a warrior to always survive death.

"Ah I don't care..

If he dares to block my way, I will shred his body with my Eagles", said a middle-aged man with complete confidence.

This middle-aged man is Mpu Kagendra or better known as the Swordsman of South Rajawali. His name is quite well known in the Karang Anom Duchy and Tanggulangin Duchy as a white swordsman although sometimes he likes to do it arbitrarily.

They both came to the place at the invitation of a friend of theirs named Wicitrawirya or also known as the Swordsman of the Fire Whip because the news of the emergence of heirlooms in the sacred tomb of Mount Budeg every day full moon night.

Wanua Sumping under the foot of Mount Budeg suddenly became a crowded place with the presence of warriors, both from black and white groups. All of them intend to get the heirloom that is said to be a heirloom keris that is Keris Nagasasra. It is said that reportedly, everyone who has Keris Nagasasra will be able to become a ruler on Jawadwipa Earth. Therefore, many officials and regional leaders are trying hard to get the heirloom to perpetuate their power.

For black warriors, the value of this heirloom keris can be exchanged with hundreds of pieces of gold and silver, can also be a plot of land for a place to build a college. As for the white people, they tend to want to secure this heirloom so as not to fall into the hands of evil characters.

"You mustn't be arrogant, old bird...

My inner eye cannot measure how high the ability of the martial arts that have a big height. That is the reason for my concern" Nyi Sekar Mirah said with a long sigh.

"It shouldn't be just those two people talking Nyi..

Let's look at the door", said the South Rajawali Swordsman whispered a little. Nyi Sekar Mirah immediately turned to the door of the food stall and his pair of eyes immediately bought wide.

A large tall man with an axe shouldered entered the place with a woman with a high creepy makeup just as the bearer of a large axe. The tall man had a strange face with toothless front teeth and half bald hair. His black clothes look shabby like a long time not washed, also there are some holes and tears here and there adding to the impression of the ferocious clothes owner. A pockmark adorned the left cheek of the tall man. While the short-bodied woman looks sharp eyes, her gloomy makeup plus her black lips increasingly look like a witch.

"A Pair of Strange South Sea Demons, Brajadenta and the Black Poison Goddess.

What business are they here for?", murmured Nyi Sekar Mirah with a loud snort.

"Dam..

The longer the more warriors come to this place. Fuck!", muttered Mpu Kagendra who cursed himself the weight of the seizure of Keris Nagasasra.

In the corner of the food stall room, Panji Tejo Laksono enjoyed his lunch dishes with pleasure. Only Gayatri is seen to pay attention to the surrounding conditions while enjoying the food served. The tail of Gayatri's eyes repeatedly glanced towards the South Sea's Strange Pair of Demons from the corner of her bamboo caping.

"Why do you keep glancing towards them Gayatri? Something wrong?", said Panji Tejo Laksono while biting the head of the grilled catfish he ordered.

"The two people were a Pair of South Sea Weird Demons. They both rarely come out of their nest in Goa Karang Popoh. If you come to this place, there must be something that attracts Taji..

Two old men in red clothes in the corner there are also warriors who have enough names in the martial world. They are the Goddess of the Red Shawl and the Swordsman of South Rajawali. They were gathered here, wasn't this suspicious?", Gayatri occasionally fed rice to his mouth while talking.

"They've been staring at us ever since we walked into this food stall, Gayatri.

But I think the most dangerous one is that old, hunchbacked grandfather in that eastern corner. He had a terrifying black aura", Panji Tejo Laksono replied calmly.

"We'd better get out of here soon, Taji..

They were all high-scientific warriors. It was not easy to face them if they were to ganged up at once", Gayatri grabbed a jug of drinking water and poured water into the cup. The woman disguised as the man immediately gulped down some drinking water to quench her thirst.

"It's just getting more and more exciting for Gayatri..

I'm sure there's something they're after in this place. I was curious about it all" Panji Tejo Laksono said with a faint smile as he gestured for a food stall servant to walk over to him.

"How's swordsman? Is our cooking good?", asked the waiter of the food stall kindly.

"Of course, your cooking is great...

Uh I want to ask you something. If you can answer that, it will be yours", Panji Tejo Laksono opened his arms and a silver platter was there. The servant's eyes immediately widened.

"Please swordsman, I will try to answer" the waiter said quickly.

"Why is this Wanua so crowded? Even the food stall was so full?", Panji Tejo Laksono stared at the waiter's face.

"Ah it's easy Kisanak..

A few weeks ago there appeared an heirloom keris on the sacred tomb of Mount Budeg. The Wanua Elders and some Rishis tried to obtain the weapon but nothing worked.

From the news, hundreds of people came to this place. The appearance of the heirloom was right on the full moon, it was two days away now the swordsman.

Is that enough to make me get the silver kepeng kisanak?", said the waiter of the food stall politely. The banner of Tejo Laksono immediately gave the silver piece to the servant. A wide smile was immediately etched on his lips.

"One more, is there a place rented in Wanua?

We need a place to spend the night" asked Panji Tejo Laksono quickly.

"The place to stay overnight?

I heard Ki Renggos' house has a place to spend the night if only two people. If Kisanak wants to go there while waiting for the full moon tomorrow night, kisanak just follow this road. Later before the big house has Lurah Wanua Sumping, that's Ki Renggos' house", replied the waiter who then passed to the back.

Usai membayar makanan mereka, Panji Tejo Laksono dan Gayatri bergegas keluar dari warung makan. Beberapa pasang mata terus mengawasi gerak-gerik mereka hingga Panji Tejo Laksono dan Gayatri menghilang dari pandangan.

In accordance with the instructions from the waiter of the food stall, Panji Tejo Laksono and Gayatri headed to the house of Ki Renggos which was next to the residence of Lurah Wanua Sumping, Mpu Tirta.

Their arrival was greeted by a white-moustached old man with shady eyes and a friendly smile who was cleaning up the fallen tree leaves in the yard. He was Ki Renggos, one of the elders of Wanua Sumping.

"Excuse Kisanak...

Is this really the residence of Ki Renggos?", asked Panji Tejo Laksono while opening the bamboo caping that covers part of his face. Gayatri did the same.

"That's right, young man..

Whoareyou? And what purpose did he come here for?", Ki Renggos stared at their faces with a smile etched on his sepuh face.

We want to stay at this place Ki Renggos for two days if there is still a place", Panji Tejo Laksono smiled knotfully.

"Surely from the talk of Si Toyo, the waiter of the food stall? Hehehe...

There is a kog. You pay one man 2 pieces of silver for two days. Food business, you give 5 bronze pieces for one meal" said Ki Renggos while staring at the handsome face of Panji Tejo Laksono.

Without saying much, Panji Tejo Laksono immediately gave 5 pieces of silver to Ki Renggos. The old grandfather smiled widely while receiving the money for the rent payment of his place.

Ki Renggos immediately exclaimed loudly and a short fat man ran towards his direction. Apparently this young man was a horse caretaker. He immediately led Panji horses Tejo Laksono and Gayatri into the stable.

That afternoon immediately conversed about many things including the appearance of heirlooms in the sacred tomb of the mysterious Budeg Mountain. Ki Renggos himself who had been part of the efforts to take the heirloom keris said that some of the Resi and pandita who participated were not able to touch Keris Nagasasra who was there.

"According to the Padmanaba Rishis, only people who have a kingly breed or who have the Makutarama Revelation alone can take the heirloom.

I also do not know what the Makutarama Revelation is but according to the Resi Padmanaba, the person who is able to touch Keris Nagasasra will be the ruler of the Land of Jawadwipa and his 6 descendants", said Ki Renggos while stroking his whiskers that whiten.

"So it is possible that Nagasasra Keris is the means of Makutarama Revelation to become the ruler, Ki Renggos?", asked Gayatri who was still curious.

"Yes, Gayatri..

Not only Resi Padmanaba who said that but also the sages who tried to take the Nagasasra Keris on the full moon yesterday", replied Ki Renggos later.

"Much interesting. But I'm sure anyone who can get Keris Nagasasra will definitely be the target of the warriors present in this place. Either way, they must be trying to get it", Panji Tejo Laksono chimed in.

During the day, Panji Tejo Laksono and Gayatri continued to try to extract information from Ki Renggos.

After enough chatting, by late afternoon Panji Tejo Laksono walked to the bath in the form of a small pond behind the residence Ki Renggos located on the bank of a small river.

Arriving at the small river bank, Panji Tejo Laksono immediately came to the attention of the Wanua Sumping girls who were bathing there. Among them were two daughters of Lurah Wanua Sumping, Rara Gendhis and Rara Kusuma. The two village flowers stared at the handsome face of Panji Tejo Laksono barely blinking.

Panji Tejo Laksono immediately nodded respectfully at the village girl then headed for a bath specifically for the men.

"It was very handsome, like seeing Lord Kamajaya descend from the sky" said a village girl who was washing clothes there.

"real said..

I've never seen a young man this handsome in our woman. Must be a migrant or maybe a relative of our woman", said a girl who was fat.

"You who peepers young people shower certainly poultice with the face of the young man here.

Yumomiya, Genthis...

Don't you know who that handsome young man is?", the shirt-washing girl turned towards Rara Kusuma and Rara Gendhis.

"I don't know at all. Perhaps Kangmbok Gendhis knew", Rara Kusuma turned his head towards his older sister.

"I don't even know anymore, Kusuma..

But he came from Ki Renggos' yard. Perhaps he is a guest of Ki Renggos or his relatives maybe" said Rara Gendhis soon. The other three village girls looked at each other at Rara Gendhis words.

Not long after, Panji Tejo Laksono returned past the village girls clustered while showing off his sweet smile that was able to make the hearts of the village girls melt.

It's getting late. Soon dusk fell as the western sky began to appear reddened. Panji Tejo Laksono and Gayatri who were sitting in the porch of the residence Ki Renggos, surprised by the arrival of 4 village girls who brought various foods.

"Excuse me Kisanak,

Does Ki Renggos exist?", asked Rara Gendhis with a sweet smile.

"Ki Renggos is out with his wife. Just now they left" Panji Tejo Laksono politely replied.

"Oh so..

I brought some food for Ki Renggos. Asked my romo. It just so happened that the crooked rice field of Romo had just harvested, so he made a salute. Please taste" said Rara Gendhis while holding out a bamboo tray containing various snacks. Rara Kusuma and her two friends also gave their bamboo baskets to Tejo Laksono Panji.

Seeing the four village girls shrouding Panji Tejo Laksono, Gayatri gave a cold snort while muttering inwardly.

"Chuuiiiiii...

You're shameless"
