Sacred Forest

Because it was late when he arrived at the sacred forest, General Lukman immediately looked for a place to spend the night after he searched.

He found a place that was quite open with several towering trees around it. Seeing this, he felt that the place was quite good so he went on.

Immediately tied his horse to the tree and started looking for firewood for himself to spend the night.

When the sun completely set in the west, the atmosphere in the sacred forest became even more tense.

For some reason, General Lukman's aura felt very cold, even though he was someone who had martial arts and magic skills.

So of course the physical quality is considered very good, on the other hand, the sound of the roar of a forest wolf can be heard in the distance, making the atmosphere even more tense.

But even so, as a mighty general, he didn't feel anything strange, feeling that the time was getting late, he immediately lay down around the fire.

Not paying attention to the wild animals that seemed to be active at night, he was now starting to drift off into his sleep.

It's just that his sleep, which was originally sound, was suddenly awakened by a strong wind that hit the place where he was sleeping.

" What is this??" With a strange feeling General Lukman asked himself.

But even so, he didn't get any answer and instead the wind became stronger.

Seeing these signs, General Lukman realized that this might be interference by creatures in the forest.

Until then, he felt that many invisible figures were passing around him, and the dimness became clearer, forming a black shadow.

Knowing that this was a disturbance coming, General Lukman immediately remembered the spell given by Prince West.

So then he started chanting the spell and miraculously the atmosphere suddenly became silent.

"That spell is really powerful!!" Amazed by the spell given by Prince West, when he found the atmosphere really became silent.

Then he immediately continued his rest.

Across the sacred forest, you can see a towering mountain, the mountain is called Mount Agung, named after the legend found there.

That a powerful king who had succeeded in establishing an empire chose to die on that mountain.

Until then, after an unknown amount of time, this mountain became quite a sacred mountain, even so, there is nothing negative that this mountain is famous for.

However, something positive is because many villages depend on this mountain for their living, not to mention that the land on this majestic mountain is said to be very fertile so that the harvests made by farmers who open fields there are very abundant.

However, there is a very unique condition in which to become a farmer who works on the land of Mount Agung, the mountain must approve it.

Because if the mountain does not approve of the farmer, the harvest will only be continuous losses and failure.

Apart from this mountain, there is one place that is also very famous which originates from that place, this place is a martial arts and magic hermitage called the Brawijaya hermitage.

With his great teacher named Wijaya who was known to be powerful and had noble morals, many ordinary and respected people studied with him.

And this time General Lukman's goal was the hermitage.

Until noon, General Lukman was still riding his horse, after passing through the sacred forest and passing several villages.

In the end, in the distance, he saw a fairly large hermitage with a plaque with the name written Brawijaya Hermitage.

Seeing this, General Lukman was of course happy because his goal had now arrived.

Spurring his horse faster, General Lukman soon arrived at the entrance to the Brawijaya hermitage.

"Welcome sir, what do you need to come here?" Asked a guard on duty at the entrance to the hermitage.

"I am general Lukman from the Mahesa kingdom, requesting permission to meet with Mr. Wijaya," got off his horse and said politely explaining the purpose of his arrival.

"Okay, please wait a moment, General," answered one of the soldiers and then went inside the hermitage to inform them that there were guests.

Not long after, a servant appeared to come from inside followed by a guard soldier, "Greetings sir, please follow me to meet Mr Wijaya" the servant said to General Lukman and guided him into the hermitage to meet teacher Wijaya.

Not long after, a man wearing all white clothes with a turban on his head came before General Lukman.

"Greetings General, please sit down," said Mr. Wijaya.

"Greetings sir, sorry if I disturbed your time sir" returned the greeting.

Without much ado, General Lukman immediately expressed his intention to come to Mr. Wijaya's Brawijaya hermitage.

"I am General Lukman, sent by Kanjeng Gusti Raja Leon, the ruler of the Mahesa kingdom, to come here on instructions from Prince West to get the magic weapon of the golden whip," General Lukman said immediately to Mr. Wijaya.

"Oh... you came and wanted to get a golden whip. May I know the reason why you need this magic weapon?" Mr. Wijaya asked again.

"You see, sir, in our kingdom there is currently a terror that has gripped the tires, many hundreds of victims are lying on the ground.

This terror targeted mostly innocent people such as women and children, after the government conducted an investigation it was discovered that the real perpetrator of this terror was.

"A demonic woman who had been dead for hundreds of years and then rose again to take revenge, the name of this demonic woman is bloody queen," the general explained in more detail to Mr. Wijaya why he had come to the hermitage to ask for the magical weapon of the golden whip.

"bloody queen rises again!!!" In an incredulous tone, Mr. Wijaya said and indirectly asked General Lukman again.

"That's right sir, he has risen again, and I personally have fought him directly," replied General Lukman.

"Then can't you beat him?" Mr. Wijaya asked again curiously.

"At first I thought I had succeeded in defeating him when the magic weapon I had succeeded in destroying the bloody queen's body, but then a scene that I had never seen before happened before my eyes.

When suddenly after a few seconds when the demon woman's body was destroyed, who knows what force made the pieces of the demon woman's body whole again.

"And the bloody queen came to life in front of me," General Lukman explained to Mr. Wijaya.

"So it's true that the bloody queen has mastered the science of the immortal body so that her body will reintegrate and cannot die," with a face full of concern, Mr. Wijaya said.

"This is a disaster ... .we can't let it continue to run rampant, and kill innocent people!!" With a strong sense of urgency, Mr. Wijaya said.

"That is what King Leon meant, sir, to immediately end this bloody terror and restore peace to the world," said the general, agreeing with what Mr. Wijaya said.

"Then you wait here a moment, I will take the golden whip heirloom," said Mr Wijaya again to General Lukman and went inside to take the golden whip magic weapon.

Not long after, Wijaya came back from the direction of Ton carrying a wooden box that looked very well maintained.

Saying this right in front of General Lukman, then Mr. Wijaya opened the box and inside it was immediately visible, a gold whip.

The whip has a general shape, but if you look closely you can see that the quality of the ingredients used to make the herbal medicine is not random.

As for why it is gold and what the whip is made of, Mr Wijaya said to Chandra Lukman that he did not know this.

Because this was an inheritance left to him by his teacher when he was young, and his teacher also advised him that one day someone would take the whip when disaster struck.

"Sir, may I take the whip?" General Lukman asked.

"Please, sir, take it," replied Mr. Wijaya.

Just when the general's hand tried to take the whip, a huge force immediately repelled the general, not to mention this force made the general's hand feel painful as if he had been electrocuted.

"ahhhh….this….sir….why can't I take it?" the General asked in disbelief.

"I don't know about that either, it's just that my teacher said that to be able to take and use the golden whip a person's heart and mind must be one with nature.

He must not create stains in his heart, whether it be lust involving the throne or women.

"So that when he truly surrenders to Nature and successfully merges, only then will the golden whip be able to be used," Mr. Wijaya said.

General Lukman told him how to use the whip.

"But sir, how can I be one with nature and cleanse my heart so that I really don't have any black spots in my heart?" General Lukman asked Mr. Wijaya again.

"Actually, I can't do that yet, but my teacher also said that to be able to do that, a person must have compassion for all living creatures.

He must be sensitive to the feelings of the world, he must respect the old and love the young, he must be honest with himself.

And he dares to defend the truth above all the risks, so that the most important thing is that he can be responsible for his behavior and attitude like a knight.

And from there, a person can be completely integrated with nature and be able to use this magical golden whip," once again Mr. Wijaya explained in detail to General Lukman about how he had to behave to be able to use the golden whip.
