Chapter 78: In China
Mi-na and Yunsung were amazed.
They were very surprised at the number of people they saw in China, because it was much more populated than Korea.
Furthermore, there were also a lot of soldiers in the streets, and they wondered if that was something usual or if there was a special reason for it.
Olcadan flew high above their heads, because he didn't want to be seen in order not to raise suspicions (owls were not usually seen flying over Chinese cities).
The owl-man had ordered the youngsters to withdraw to an isolated place before it got dark in order to recover his human form without being noticed. They also bought a coat with a hood to hide his owl face.
The first night, they hid in an alley, where Olcadan turned into human and put on the coat.
- This is enormous. How are we going to find the right way? – asked Mi-na once Olcadan was able to talk.
- Time ago I knew this pretty well, but it's been many years and cities have expanded a lot. – said the owl-man.
- What shall we do? – inquired Yunsung.
- Ask for directions, of course. I'm sure someone will help us to find the way to Nepal.
So they were doing so for weeks, travelling the great distance between Korea and Nepal. Mi-na suggested they should ask the soldiers, but Olcadan and Yunsung didn'd trust them.
Finally, a month and a half later, they were crossing the frontier, which they did much easier than the first time, because they had Li Long's name.
However, they had to make sure that they did it with Olcadan in his owl form, because if a person who theoretically wasn't in the country left it, they would be in a big problem.
Once in Nepal, Mi-na and Yunsung felt at home again, because its population was more similar to Korea's.
Now, they only had to find out where Ling-Sheng Su Temple was.
