Soft sunlight illuminates the ridge. The dew on the leaves dripped onto the ground calmly. The sound of birds from thousands of birds perched on the tree's thirst shouted. Meanwhile the partridge crowed excitedly, the partridge seemed to be a figure who woke the sun from its long sleep. The ground was still wet, revealing the remains of last night's rain and storm
Grandpa Semar stands on a mound of earth which turns out to be a grave. His eyes were sad to see the grave. Grandpa Semar's hands were carrying little Wisanggeni, who was staring blankly at his mother's grave.
"Remember, this tomb is the tomb of your mother." Grandpa Semar said while stroking Wisanggeni's head.
At first glance, you can see Wisanggeni nodding slightly. Grandpa Semar was surprised to know this, it was unexpected that the little child who was being carried understood what he said. "Hahaha... Geni, you really are a weird kid."
Grandpa Semar squatted down, put Wisanggeni on the ground, then took a kembang setaman, a seven-way flower arrangement consisting of jasmine, tuberose, red roses, white roses, kanthil flowers, kenanga flowers, and gambir jasmine flowers. Grandpa Semar slowly scattered the flowers over Ratna's grave.
"Actually, I want to burning your body, but I'm afraid your child will lose the place of memories that you carry. Therefore, I chose a burial method for you, Ratna. Be happy in nirvana. "
After sowing flowers on Ratna's grave, Grandpa Semar got up from his squat. Wisanggeni was carried back in his arms, "let's get something to eat." Grandpa Semar said to Wisanggeni. The two of them headed for the bamboo house which was not too far away.
The trees were towering, the leaves of the trees covered Grandpa Semar and Wisanggeni from the sun. During the trip home, the atmosphere seemed so quiet. Not the silence of animal sounds, but an atmosphere that was completely different from usual. Grandpa Semar realized that something was wrong.
Grandpa Semar decided to speed up his steps, then came to a river. Grandpa Semar crossed the river swiftly, jumping from rock to rock. "If my guess is right, they just arrived, but are quick on standby. This is unsettling, with Wisanggeni in my arms, it will be difficult for me to face them."
Grandpa Semar's guess was correct, because behind the trees and above the trees, a group of people were closely watching them. Those people had just arrived at Penanggungan mountain hill, and immediately followed Grandpa Semar's movements. They waited for the right time to ambush Grandpa Semar and Wisanggeni.
Finally Grandpa Semar reached the other side of the river. He deliberately chose a different path than usual to return to the bamboo house, he didn't want his stalkers to know about his whereabouts. "I have to secure Wisanggeni first." Grandpa Semar jumped onto a tree branch that was twenty meters high in one stomp, then put Wisanggeni on the tree branch. Grandpa Semar put his index finger on his lips, gesturing Wisanggeni not to be noisy. Then Grandpa Semar came down from the tree.
"Come out ..." Grandpa Semar gave orders to the people who were following him.
In just three seconds, all the people who followed showed themselves. In total there were five people who were following Grandpa Semar. They are a group of pendekar bayaran. Three men and two women, they have martial arts skills.
"It turns out that grandfather realized us. Extraordinary." Said the leader of the pendekar bayaran group.
"What do you want?" Grandpa Semar asked calmly.
One woman who was part of the group replied, "we just want to check on the baby that my grandfather was carrying."
"Baby? Which baby?" Grandpa Semar is still evasive.
"Give the baby, and grandfather can continue to live for a few more years. Otherwise, grandfather will die today! " Said someone with a big stature who joined the group.
"Hmmm ... Looks like you guys misunderstood ..."
"Cak! We can just force this old man to talk if we don't want to talk voluntarily! " The suggestion of a tall man to the flock.
"Okay, but don't let him die. I'm lazy to take care of corpses today. " Answer the group leader.
"Grandpa, forgive us for being rude!" The big man lunged forward, about to hit Grandpa Semar with a punch. Unfortunately, Grandpa Semar's punch was easily dodged by Grandpa Semar. In the blink of an eye, Grandpa Semar kicked the big man in the stomach, and the big man was immediately thrown five meters away. "Argghh ..." A groan was heard.
The other four people were shocked to see that. They are getting ready. They feel that the grandfather they are facing cannot be dealt with easily. They took the initiative to attack Grandpa Semar by gang.
"Attack!" The group leader said giving orders.
The five hunter swordsmen, pendekar bayaran, attacked Grandpa Semar violently. They only rely on their bare hands, not to bring out sharp weapons or lethal weapons. Grandpa Semar realized that the people who were attacking him had no killing intent, even though they were about to launch attacks simultaneously.
Since the five people had no desire to kill, Grandpa Semar used other means to make the people give up. Grandpa Semar stood upright, right in the middle of the attack of the five people. Grandpa Semar took a short breath, then exhaled while giving a little pressure of inner energy.
Having finished exhaling the breath filled with the essence of inner energy, a red flash appeared around Grandpa Semar. At the same time, the five people who were charging were immediately blown away. Some fell into the river, some hit trees, some fell on the ground, and some hit large tree trunks. They immediately lost consciousness.
"Done. I thought it would be difficult. They are still too kind. Looks like I have to check who they are."
Grandpa Semar searched the five people who had passed out one by one. It turned out that one of them was carrying a scroll of the Wilwatikta royal envoy level and a packet of banana leaves filled with soil. Grandpa Semar opened the scroll, then read carefully the contents. Grandpa Semar wasn't too surprised by the scroll that was just found. As expected, it was a level four scroll of the four levels of the Wilwatikta kingdom command.
"I think this is the act of Empress Arumwangke, but these people were not sent directly by Empress Arumwangke, but were ordered by people who were close to Empress Arumwangke. The situation is getting more and more dangerous."
Based on the contents of the scroll, there is an order to search for Empress Ratna, live or die. Then the next command was, to find the baby that was brought by Empress Ratna and match it with the soil from the sacred land of Wilwatikta.
The matching method using sacred soil is indeed quite accurate. You do this by touching a little soil to the tip of the baby's tongue. If a baby suddenly cries, then the baby is not descended from Rajasa, meaning that the baby is an outsider of the palace, but if the baby suddenly sleeps, it means that the baby is a descendant of Rajasa.
Grandpa Semar brought the scroll and a handful of soil, then left the five hunters who were still unconscious. Grandpa Semar took Wisanggeni who was waiting on the tree branch. They then return to the bamboo house, and arrive at the bamboo house just as the sun is above the crown.
Grandpa Semar put Wisanggeni on the table, then took some sacred land. Grandpa Semar wanted to confirm the blood of Rajasa's descendants and prove Ratna's confession. If Wisanggeni sleeps straight away, it means that he is Raja Agni's son, if he even cries, it means that Wisanggeni is indeed Ratna's child with Wisanggeni.
On the tip of the index finger of his right hand, Grandpa Semar had put a little sacred ground of Wilwatikta. Then Grandpa Semar touched the sacred soil to Wisanggeni's tongue. Grandpa Semar waited for Wisanggeni's reaction for almost three hours, but strangely there was no reaction at all. Wisanggeni even laughed to himself, as if he was laughing at Grandpa Semar.
"This is weird. It's been over an hour, but nothing happened. Geni should be crying or sleeping within an hour, but why is he laughing instead? Is this fake sacred land? I better check it first." Grandpa Semar grasped the sacred ground, then channeled a little inner energy. If the land changes color to red, it means that the land is sacred land, if it doesn't show any signs of change, it means that the land is fake, not sacred land.
After flowing a little inner strength, Grandpa Semar opened his grip. The land that he was holding, turned out to be red, meaning that the land was indeed sacred land of Wilwatikta. "But why did Wisanggeni not show any reaction at all? He didn't cry and he didn't sleep." Grandpa Semar shook his head.
The hours of the day passed. The sun's journey is almost to the end of the west. After lunch, Grandpa Semar meditated on the cultivation chair. Within three hours, Grandpa Semar had finished meditating. Grandpa Semar, while meditating, thought about how to take care of Wisanggeni.
When Grandpa Semar looked at him, Wisanggeni suddenly put the thumb of his right hand into his mouth. Sort of a hint that he wanted to drink milk. Seeing this, Grandpa Semar grabbed his chest. "Hahaha ... Damn ... You think Grandpa's breasts can spit milk?!"
