Heaven-relying Sword And Dragon-slaying Sabre

Yin SuSu was spellbound at the scenery for a while, before saying, "I wonder where we'll end up if this boat continues east." Zhang CuiShan said, "There's only water to the East. We don't have any water, so we can only last seven to eight days…" Yin SuSu, who had just experienced love, still felt like living in a dream, and didn't want to think about the negatives. She said, "I heard that there's a celestial mountain in the Eastern Sea. Immortal beings live on that mountain. Perhaps we'll sail to that mountain, meet gods and goddesses…" Then she pointed to the Silver River , said, "Perhaps we'll sail right into the Silver River. When we get there, we'll see the Cow Herder and the Lady Weaver meeting on the Magpie Bridge ."

Zhang CuiShan said with a smile, "We can give the boat to the Cow Herder, so if he wants to meet Lady Weaver, he can just take the boat over, instead of having to wait till the seventh day of the seventh month for the magpies." Yin SuSu said, "If we give the boat to the Cow Herder, then how are we going to meet?" Zhang CuiShan said, "In Heaven or Hell, on Earth or under the sea, we'll always be together. Since we're going to be together, then why would we need to cross the Silver River?" Yin SuSu smiled brightly, as if a flower bloomed on her face. She held Zhang CuiShan's hands, gently caressing it.

The two has thousands of romantic words to say to each other, but don't have to really say any at all. After a long, long time, Zhang CuiShan lowered his head, only to see tears flowing down Yin SuSu's eyes. He said in shock, "Why are you so sad?" Yin SuSu said softly, "On Earth, under water, I might be able to stay with you. But when we die, you will go to Heaven, and I… I… will go to Hell." Zhang CuiShan said, "Oh, that won't happen."

Yin SuSu sighed, said, "I know I've done too many evil things in this life. I've killed so many people that I've lost count." Zhang CuiShan shuddered, and realized that her vicious ways really makes her a flawed match for him. But because he's too in love with her, and they're most likely going to die soon in the middle of the sea, he did not think too much about it. He tried to calm her, "As long as you can correct your ways, everything will turn out fine." Yin SuSu did not say anything. After a while, she began to sing.

She sang with the tune of the 'The Hillside Sheep'.

"He and I, I and he, so worried about each other. Enemies, how could we become fated to love, by dying in front of the gates of Hell, letting the devil torture, getting beat by a mallet, boiled in a frying pan, ouch! "

Suddenly they heard Xie Xun yell in the cabin, "Great song. Miss Yin, that's much more to my liking that this fake gentleman here."

Yin SuSu said, "You and I are both evil people. Fate will certainly bring us misfortune."

Zhang CuiShan whispered, "If you ever have a misfortune, then I'll share the misfortune with you."

Yin SuSu yelled happily, "Fifth brother!" so happy could not add another word.

The next morning had clear skies, and Xie Xun used his mace to catch some fish. After starving for a couple of days, the three people didn't really care that the fishes were raw. There is no fresh water on the boat, so they drank fish blood for water.

The sea continued to carry them northward, facing the North Star each night. The Sun continued to rise on the right, and set on the east. Their directions did not change for over ten days.

The temperature became colder and colder. Due to their high inner powers, Xie Xun and Zhang CuiShan had no problems coping, but Yin SuSu's health began to deteriorate. Xie and Zhang both took off clothes for her to wear, but that still didn't help. Seeing her faint smiles, trying to fight off the cold, Zhang CuiShan felt unspeakable pain in his heart. He thought that if they continued north, Yin SuSu would certainly die from the cold.

However, their luck finally came when the boat met a school of seals. Xie Xun killed several seals with his mace, and they then covered themselves in sealskin, so thick they felt like putting on a coat. They also ate the seal meat.

That night, Yin SuSu asked with a smile, "What's the best wild animal in the world?" The three of them answered together, "Seals!" At that moment, they heard a sound from the front of the boat, only to see a large chunk of ice hitting the side of the boat.

Their moods turned sullen upon seeing this. As they travel further and further north, the temperature would get colder and colder. Until the boat would likely freeze, which would be the day they die.

The next morning, they found chunks of ice. Xie Xun smiled bitterly, said, "I can't believe this. I tried to find the secrets to the Dragon Saber, and ended up turning into an iceman. What a joke."

He picked up the Dragon Saber, and said angrily, "To Hell with this saber!" He then tried to throw it away, but stopped at the last moment, sighed, and put the saber back into the cabin.

After four more days, the surface of the sea is now mostly covered with think pieces of ice. The three of them decided to ignore their condition. But that night, they heard a thunderous noise, trembling the entire boat.

Xie Xun yelled, "Awesome! It's a big iceberg!"

Zhang CuiShan and Yin SuSu smiled bitterly, but still held on to each other tightly, only to feel cold water up to their legs, as the boat began to sink. They heard Xie Xun yell, "Jump up to the iceberg. Even living an extra day or so would be good. Humph, the Damnable Heaven wants me to die now, but I won't let him get his wish."

Zhang and Yin went to the head of the boat, only to see the moon's silver rays reflected off the iceberg, a very beautiful, but also terrifying, sight. Xie Xun is already sitting on the side of the iceberg, reached out with his mace, so Yin SuSu and Zhang CuiShan both could use it to get onto the iceberg.

The boat disappeared after a while.

Xie Xun put two sealskins on the ground, so they can sit on top of them. This iceberg looks like a small hill, about sixty meters long, thirty meters across, much more spacey then the boat. Xie Xun looked around, said, "This is actually not a bad place. I can stretch a bit here." As he spoke he got up and walked around. Although the iceberg is very slippery, Xie Xun's steps are as secure as they would be on normal ground.

The iceberg floated with the water, yet still towards the north. Xie Xun said with a smile, "Looks like this Damnable Heaven sent us a boat, so we can go to the North Pole to meet the North Pole's immortal old man." With the man she loves by her side, Yin SuSu seemed to be satisfied completely. Even had the sky fallen, she would still not have cared. Of the three people, only Zhang CuiShan worried about their situation.

The iceberg floated for another seven days. In the daytime, the sunlight created a blinding light upon reflected off the iceberg, so they had trouble seeing. The three then decided to simply sleep during the day. Then they would catch fish and other animals at night. Oddly enough, the days became longer and longer as they sailed further north, until daytime lasted twenty-two hours. The night seemed to pass in an instant.
