The Seven Gates of the Universe
69. Mad God Tuak
"Then what do you want from us Ki?" ask Ki Farja again, even though he already knows what the man wants.
"We want you to help us finish off that band of criminals. In return we will prepare a thousand gold pieces if you succeed. If not, we will send a hundred pieces of gold to your families." replied Ki Rambang
"Actually in the name of truth, without the reward of gold we will keep trying. It's just that I want to ascertain what your role is in the extermination effort of the mob." Ki Farja.
"Of course Ki, we will prepare ten of the best young men to join you." replied Ki Rambang.
"Okay Ki, let us rest for a while, later in the afternoon we will attack the headquarters of the gang of troublemakers." pinta Ki Farja.
Finally everyone agreed to attack in the afternoon. It was already near noon. Even the sun was already scorching. While others want to prepare themselves, only Bayu asks permission to go for a walk.
"Teacher, should I accompany Bayu's brother on a walk in this village?" ask Nalini to Ki Farja.
"Not my son, let him calm his mind. Maybe he's a little afraid of a raid later this afternoon. If he's afraid, let him not come." prevent Ki Farja.
With heavy feelings and what can be done, Nalini also followed the orders of her teacher. Then while resting the teacher and the student discussed the plan for the attack later in the afternoon. There also joined Ki Rambang and Ki Rundu the village's security chief.
What exactly does Bayu do? Is he really going for a walk? It turns out Bayu is indeed circling the place. But what he was looking for was a quiet empty place to practice. He wants to try the ways taught by Ki Farja in exerting energy in.
After traveling around almost as much as his old rice, Bayu finally found a small forest near the village. In a very spacious place, he sat cross-legged. Some movements try to show it.
Bayu's hands began to be wrapped in front of the chest. Then the young man took a deep breath then held it under the stomach. Then follow the instructions taught by Ki Farja, while breathing out loudly, with a single blow he squealed while stretching his hands to the side.
tar. tar...
A small explosion occurred. But the force of the energy jolt only made the tree beside Bayu sway and some leaves fell. He frowned because what he expected did not happen.
With curiosity try again doing the same movements as before. Again, the results are not much different. Just make a few leaves fall off, and the tree swayed a little. Bayu also scratched his head that does not itch.
Without realizing Bayu, there was a pair of eyes that paid attention to him from earlier. The man was on a large tree branch not far from where he was. While leaning against the trunk of the big tree, he occasionally sipped a drink that was in bamboo reeds in his grasp.
Feeling failed in his first attempt, he also tried the second way taught by Ki Farja. His hands clenched, then his breath was drawn deep to hold under the stomach. Then while exhaling the young man hit a small tree nearby.
"Braaaka...."
"Aww.." complained Bayu while wagging his hand.
"Hueekk..."
bukkkkp...
"Foolish boy. edaaan.. assayann, Bwahahaha..." A shabbily dressed old geezer who was observing Bayu laughed out loud. So sweet was the old man that he spouted the palm in his mouth and fell from the top of the tree.
"Hey old man, who are you? who are you laughing at? are you peeping on me?" ask the upset Bayu.
"Eh buju busyeett is not right this crazy boy bwahahaha.. many benae your question, I have to answer what bwahahaha.." said the old man. "Young man, what were you learning?" the old man suddenly turned serious.
"He asked back" Bayu's chairman who was a little upset. "I practice dancing old man" said Bayu again who increasingly upset.
"Bwahahaha..the boy is doing the Bwahaha dance practice.." whined the old man. "Here sit with me while drinking." take the grandfather to Bayu.
Bayu also approached the grandfather. Then he threw himself to sit beside the old man. Then the grandfather handed over the bamboo which became his drinking place. The young man greeted him, then poured the contents inside.
"Hueekkkk..."
"Bwahahaha. boy Edan, drinking wine just vomit." the old man's laughter amused to see Bayu who spit out his drink.
Bayu has never even drank wine. The young man never even drank any kind of liquor. So when he drank the wine given by the grandfather, the young man immediately vomited it because he felt something foreign to his tongue. To the point that his eyes were reddened by tears.
"The people of the north call me the Mad Tuak God. So do the martial people. What's your name, crazy boy? ask the old man after introducing his name.
"Maybe Bayu" the young man replied doubtfully.
"Maybe? Bwahaha, apparently I am not the old one who is crazy, it turns out you are also a crazy boy... By his own name doubt."
"True parents, I can't remember it" Bayu said. Then briefly he told the situation of himself who was stranded on the coast and found the village head Bojana. He himself did not understand suddenly just telling his condition to the old man. Bayu's instinct says this old man is a good man.
"Then why are you so eager for the practice of magic earlier" the old man asked again.
"To help my friends fight the enemy, old man" Bayu replied. Then briefly he also told about the invitation of the head of Karang Wangi village and his goal to ask for help to eradicate the herd of criminals who call themselves the Thousand Poisons Party.
"Hmmm... Did you know young man, my arrival was actually to eradicate the gang of criminals. Some time ago I tried to patronize the horde's hideout headquarters. At first I managed to destroy the herd of criminals. Even make their leader who has the title of stealth poison." said the Mad Tuak God.
"Then cake?" ask Bayu who has changed his call as grandfather to the Mad Tuak God.
"When my victory was in sight, suddenly came the poison demon teacher. It was unexpected that he was the sole disciple of the Thousand Wisa Grandfather a famous black figure. After fighting in fifty moves, I was also made to collapse." for a moment the Mad Tuak God fell silent.
"Lucky then I brought Sukma's puffed-up smoke ball, when they let my guard down and blew up the smoke ball and ran away" the old man continued.
