The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
Misunderstand

****

The morning is so bright in the sky Padepokan Bukit Biru area. Although thick cloudiness still lingers in the sky, but compared to a heavy rain overnight, the weather feels better. Flowers blooming on the slopes of Bukit Biru increasingly make the beautiful atmosphere so touching, plus the breeze that blows slowly.

Panji Tejo Laksono seemed to smile widely while wriggling from his bed. In less than 3 days the topo ngrame will be over soon. That was why he planned to travel back to Kadiri. His longing for his mother and father at Kotaraja Kadiri palace will soon be treated.

While rubbing his eyes, Panji Tejo Laksono got out of his bed. He immediately cleans up.

Take a shower and get ready, Panji Tejo Laksono packed all his luggage before coming out of his bedroom to gather with Mpu Wanamarta and Gayatri and his other friends for breakfast.

"I thank you for the hospitality given by Padepokan Bukit Biru to me and my friend, Resi Jaladara.

After this I intend to go back to Kadiri" Panji Tejo Laksono said after they enjoyed the morning meal.

"Then, I can only bid farewell to the young swordsman. The Blue Hill will forever open the door for you. Once again I thank you for your help the other day", replied Resi Jaladara, the leader of Padepokan Bukit Biru politely.

"Same with Rishis..

Msu Wanamarta, I leave it to you my friend Wiropati. Remember our promise of two more years", Panji Tejo Laksono turned towards Mpu Wanamarta.

"I'll never forget the young Swordsman.. Two more years, Wiropati will become a warrior who has a name in the martial world", replied Mpu Wanamarta quickly.

"Then I resign. Everyone please take care of health, may Hyang Akarya Jagat always protect us all".

After saying so, Panji Tejo Laksono immediately stood up from his seat followed by Gayatri. The two men immediately walked towards their bed, picked up the luggage and rushed towards their horses that were moored on the deck near the stables.

Quickly, the two men jumped onto the backs of their respective horses. Before crashing his horse, Panji Tejo Laksono nodded his head at all the people who were there and patted his horse's back towards the east. Gayatri followed behind him.

"They are both really talented young warriors, Wanamarta..

Still young but humble despite having a high level of kanuragan science" said Resi Jaladara while staring at the passing of Panji Tejo Laksono and Gayatri.

"There's one thing you can't understand, Kakang Resi..

That young man was no ordinary young warrior. He has an important position in the Kadiri Palace", replied Mpu Wanamarta with a meaningful smile.

"Huh? Are you serious Wanamarta?", surprised Resi Jaladara heard Mpu Wanamarta's speech.

"I don't know exactly what it looks like, Kakang Resi..

But he left Wiropati to me to educate me to be a Kadiri warrior. That meant he was able to arrange a place for someone within the state palace. Only people who have an important position are able to do it all", Mpu Wanamarta continues to look towards Panji Tejo Laksono and Gayatri who increasingly look far away. Not long after that they both disappeared from the sight of everyone in the corner of the road.

"Why should you keep that a secret from me Wanamarta? Know this, surely I will ask for a place for my son as well", said Resi Jaladara while turning her body.

"Hehehe..

Kakang Resi take it easy, as long as your son is able, two more years I will invite him to sowan to Kadiri. I will ask Taji Lelono to accept also your son as a Panjalu warrior with Wiropati", Mpu Wanamarta smiled faintly. Hearing that answer, the mangosteen-mangutu Jaladara Rishi was delighted.

The banner of Tejo Laksono and Gayatri continued to pound his horse towards the east. Passing through several wanua, they continued to race the horses at high speed. By midday, they had reached the foot of Penampihan Hill which is the Pakuwon Tanjung Anom region which is the boundary of the Kurawan Duchy and Anjuk Padang.

"See, we'd better stop for a second..

Our horse is tired of running" said Gayatri, pointing to the slightly frothy mouth of his horse.

Hearing those words, Panji Tejo Laksono immediately pulled the reins of his horse. Gayatri.

"Thank you, Gayatri, you reminded me.

Let's just rest there" Panji Tejo Laksono said as he pointed towards a shady tree beside a small river that grew grass that flourished.

The two men immediately jumped down from their horses and led their mount animals to drink the clear waters of the small river. The banner of Tejo Laksono directly tied the reins of his horse to a shrub tree to give his horse a chance to eat grass.

Their stomachs were rumbling because the sun was already upright on top of their heads.

"Gayatri,

You better wait here. I will look for something that can be eaten for a while" Panji Tejo Laksono said as he placed his luggage under the shady tree. Gayatri nodded in understanding and Panji Tejo Laksono immediately darted quickly towards the lush trees that thrive at the foot of Penampihan Hill.

Using the science of lightening his body, Panji Tejo Laksono bounces high into the air and jumps from one tree branch to another while observing the situation.

After a long hunt, it appears that two forest chickens are busy pecking seeds that fall on the ground without realizing that a pair of eyes Panji Tejo Laksono stalking them. Silent Panji Tejo Laksono grabbed two tree branches and broke them while keeping an eye on the two forest chickens. Then...

Shrrriinnggg..

Kooook!!

One forest chicken directly fell to the ground while the other one can still escape even though the tree branch that was thrown by Panji Tejo Laksono pierced through his body.

Whuusssh..

Fast as lightning, Panji Tejo Laksono darted down towards the dead rooster of the forest and hunted down towards the fleeing rooster.

In two breaths, Panji Tejo Laksono was already able to catch up to the fuzzy partridge. But unfortunately the rooster flew again and fell near a small lake with clear water. Panji Tejo Laksono immediately hunted down the partridge and quickly caught it.

"Because of you now!!"

Panji Tejo Laksono smiled broadly while lifting the rooster that was still struggling trying to escape. But when Panji Tejo Laksono looked forward, an unexpected sight was presented before his eyes.

"Yeahaa....

Please have a pervert peek at me taking a shower! Help me..."

A young woman who was bathing in the small well immediately shouted loudly and immediately grabbed her clothes. He quickly put on his clothes.

"You misunderstood Nisanak. I didn't mean to peek at you" Panji Tejo Laksono said trying to explain.

"You lied!

Guru tolong aku! Ada lelaki cabul disini", teriak si perempuan muda itu tanpa peduli penjelasan dari Panji Tejo Laksono.

Not long after, three people dressed in white and dark green came to the place. A long-bearded man with sharp eyes approached the young girl who was shouting loudly earlier.

"Palupi, though,

What the hell's going on? Why are you shouting so loudly like that?", asked the old man immediately.

"Teacher,

That pervert peeked at me taking a shower. He tarnished my honor. Please teacher uphold justice for me", said the beautiful girl named Palupi while pointing towards Panji Tejo Laksono.

"Hey, this is all not true. This is a misunderstanding.", Panji Tejo Laksono has not yet finished his talk, a thin mustachioed young boy darted quickly towards Panji Tejo Laksono while swinging his hand.

Whuwh!!

The banner of Tejo Laksono nimbly avoided the hand hit by the thin-moustached young man while speaking loudly.

"Listen to my explanation, this is all a misunderstanding", Panji Tejo Laksono jumped back a few steps.

Whhhuuuugggh..

Plakkkk plllaaakkk..

Bllaaaaaarrr!!!!

Forced Panji Tejo Laksono to defend himself from the attack of the thin mustachioed youth by resisting the attack of his site. The two men were pushed back by 2 spears.

'This boy's ability is great too. He was able to compensate for Madangkungan's silat game, the old man's inner self while stroking his whitened beard.

While Palupi and another young man continued to observe a fierce fight between Panji Tejo Laksono and the thin-moustached man named Madangkungan.

10 Their moves pass and look Madangkungan which was originally on the wind looks starting to push.

Madangkungan waving his hands on the head of Panji Tejo Laksono. The young prince immediately ducked down and quickly launched a continuous attack towards Madangkungan's chest violently.

Dhaaaassshhh Dhhaaaassshhh!

Aaaarrrgggghhhhh!!!

Madangkungan's body was pushed back 2 spears and fell down. Blood flowed from the corner of his lips. Seeing that, a man beside Palupi instantly drew out his sword and darted rapidly towards Panji Tejo Laksono while blasting his sword.

Shreeeeettttthhh!!

Take it easy Panji Tejo Laksono is playing his opponent's swordplay. Although the opponent hunted with a ferocious and deadly attack, but the prince of Panjalu was still only defending himself.

5 Quickly passes. The burly man thrust his sword towards the neck of Panji Tejo Laksono. Quickly Panji Tejo Laksono shifted his body slightly, circled the sword blade and flicked the burly young man's hand immediately.

Cepllassh..

The sword slipped from the hand of the burly young man. The banner of Tejo Laksono immediately threw a hard kick towards the opponent's stomach.

Bhhuuuuugggh..

Auuggghhhhh!!!

The roar of pain coincided with the body of the burly young man who bounced back and suckled the ground violently. While Panji Tejo Laksono directly snatched the detached sword hilt with his left hand.

Madangkungan was about to dart forward again but the loud cry of the long-bearded old man instantly stopped his movement.

"Enough!

You're not his opponent. Free to also come forward to face him", said the old grandfather.

"But Master he.", Palupi's words were immediately cut by the old man while staring intently at Luh Jingga.

"You always put your anger forward, Palupi. Listen to the explanation first, then you can act.

Young man, young man,

Now explain to me what exactly happened?", the old man turned his head towards Panji Tejo Laksono.

"Sorry before Kisanak..

I accidentally arrived at this place because I was chasing the jungle chicken I hunted. I swear on behalf of Hyang Akarya Jagat that I have no intention of peeping at your bathing disciple ", Panji Tejo Laksono directly raised the two forest chickens in front of the old man.

Mmmmmm..

"Your explanation makes sense, too.. The forest chicken was still spitting out fresh blood meaning that he had just died. I believe you", said the old man as he stroked his beard.

"Thank you for your understanding Kisanak. Since this matter is over, I beg you to leave", Panji Tejo Laksono was about to jump but the old man stopped his movement.

"Wait for the young..

Seeing your silat, you are from Padepokan Padas Putih. What are your names and your teachers?", the old man asked immediately.

"I'm Taji Lelono..

My teacher is one of the deceased White Padas Padas Elders, Mpu Sakri. Am I allowed to leave?", Panji Tejo Laksono stared at the face of the white-bearded old man.

"The disciple of the Hand of Fire.. Means you didn't use your martial skills wholeheartedly against my two students earlier..

Mpu Sakri is a highly respected figure in the martial world. It is an honor to meet his students. I Mpu Hanggawira invited you to stop by our Hill Paddokan Penampihan, young man", said the old man with a faint smile.

"Teacher,

Why did you even invite that pervert to the store? You should have beaten him up for harassing me", Palupi protested loudly at Mpu Hanggawira.

"Shut your mouth, Palupi..

Did I never teach you manners to dare to doubt my speech?", Mpu Hanggawira glared sharply at Palupi The beautiful girl in light green clothes immediately shriveled to see the annoyance on the face as old as Mpu Hanggawira.

It is not good to refuse the invitation of Mpu Hanggawira, Panji Tejo Laksono agreed to the invitation of the old grandfather. They then walked out of the forest towards Gayatri who was waiting for Tejo Laksono Panji under a shady tree.

"Taji, who are they?", asked Gayatri as Panji Tejo Laksono and his Padepokan Bukit Penampi student teacher approached him.

"This is Mpu Hanggawira, one of the elders of Padepokan Bukit Penampihan. He invited us to stop by his place.

We met while I was hunting this jungle chicken", Panji Tejo Laksono explained. Although a little surprised by the behavior of Palupi who looks upset with the Panji Tejo Laksono, Gayatri chose not to ask any further. They immediately rushed to the Hill Padepokan Penemampihan which is on the southern side of the slope.

A small settlement consisting of a large house, 2 medium houses and dozens of small houses fenced in logs as large as the thighs of adults became the headquarters of Padepokan Bukit Penampihan.

The two gatekeepers on duty directly saluted Mpu Hanggawira and his disciples as they reached the front gate. As soon as the gate opened, they immediately entered the headquarters. The beautiful scenery is presented in front of the eyes of Panji Tejo Laksono and Gayatri. Behind the padepokan, there is a towering Hill of Penampihan covered with green forest trees that cover it.

In front of the largest house, there were dozens of disciples Padepokan Bukit Penemampihan were practicing with enthusiasm.

One of the highlights was a beautiful girl in a reddish yellow dress who was fighting against a thick-bodied man.

But the unbalanced fight went on fast. The beautiful girl in reddish-yellow clothes immediately twisted her body and threw a hard kick towards the burly man's head.

Dhassh...

The thick-bodied man immediately fell face down with blue cheeks.

"I admit defeat, Nimas.", said the stocky man immediately. He immediately walked over.

Mmmmmm..

"Let's go who else wants to try my silat skills?", the girl in reddish-yellow clothes circulated her gaze.

Hearing those words, Palupi smiled cunningly as a thought flashed through his head. He still did not accept the attitude of Panji Tejo Laksono earlier. He immediately pointed at Panji Tejo Laksono who had just stepped off his horse.

"Kangmbok Luh Jingga,

He wants to try"
