224 Frost
As Liang En drove north while exploring, the surrounding temperature began to gradually decrease, and the wind and waves became stronger, but fortunately, Liang En was driving a modified boat, so the ride was quite stable.
Normally, the sailing era traveled from the Americas from east to west back to Asia via the North Equatorial Current, which runs from Central America to Luzon and is a fast track in the Pacific.
This route was the route of the famous Spanish galleon trade, which traveled from ports in South America, Central America and Mexico with mined silver, and assembled on the west coast of Central America before heading west to Luzon.
After arriving in Luzon, some of the ships would take silver to Japan to purchase goods and exchange them for gold, then travel with other ships to the Ming Dynasty to exchange gold and silver for goods, and then head west to the Indian Ocean around the Cape of Good Hope.
This trade brought so much silver that the Ming Dynasty, which had not produced much silver, received a large amount of silver, and was even able to use silver as legal tender.
Later, with the Netherlands cutting off this route with the East Indies as the core, the Ming Dynasty also fell into a state of deflation, and the Ming Dynasty collapsed together with the natural and man-made disasters in the last years of Chongzhen.
It's just that Liang En only recorded a westward route on the west coast of Central America on this voyage, and did not take a trip by himself, because compared to this route, the northern route that goes west along the Alaskan Warm Current and the Cold Stream of the Kuril Islands is closer to the North Sea Island.
But he didn't expect that even if it was a hot summer day, the temperature would suddenly drop and the waves would become louder when the ship entered the waters near the Aleutian Islands.
After struggling in the waves for about half an hour, Liang En sailed out of the storm zone, but the strange thing was that the moment he sailed out of this area, the surrounding of the ship immediately became calm and sunny.
"That's not right!" Turning his head to look at the clouds and mist behind him, Liang En frowned, because this area felt so unnatural, it didn't look like it could be formed naturally.
Driven by curiosity, Liang increased the ship's Elemental Furnace output to its maximum power, and then steered the ship around the strange cloud to inspect. An hour and a half later, he had a comprehensive understanding of the clouds.
It is a circular giant storm area with a diameter of about 30 kilometers, which is constantly moving in a northwesterly direction, and at the same time, there is an affected area nearly 100 kilometers long behind it.
Liang En had entered from the affected area before, and then he had become a storm zone from the direction of the storm after rubbing it on the edge of the storm zone, so he didn't realize that the situation was wrong until he left the storm zone.
Because he didn't know what the situation was inside, he directly loaded the ship with the demigod cave sky, and then turned into a sword light and flew towards the core area of the entire storm.
The wind and waves couldn't stop the sharp sword light, and because of the storm, the sea beasts would stay away from this place, so it only took a few minutes for Liang En to approach the core of the storm.
Unlike the simple winds and waves on the periphery, the closer you get to the core, the worse the weather becomes, starting as a snowdrop the size of a grain of millet, but later turning into a palm-sized snowflake.
At the same time, unlike normal snowflakes, these snowflakes take on an eerie ice blue color, and at the same time, there is a trace of energy inside them that makes these snowflakes become sharper and more dangerous than steel alloy blades.
"Sure enough, this storm didn't come naturally." Liang En was glad that his ship had not just rushed to the core and was damaged by these inexplicable things, and continued to fly forward against the snowflakes.
The further forward you fly, the heavier the wind and snow become, and at the same time, the temperature drops rapidly, so low that Liang En even has to consume extra spiritual power to maintain his body temperature.
To make matters worse, fog began to appear around him, and the environment in the fog also changed, and along with the changes in the surrounding space, Liang En even felt like he was in a labyrinth.
Fortunately, Liang En's current cultivation has reached the point where he can vaguely perceive the changes in the surrounding space, plus he can roughly distinguish the direction, so he can still fly firmly towards the core in the harsh environment.
Finally, he felt the wind and snow around him suddenly stop, and the thick fog gradually dissipated, and what was revealed from between the thick fog was
A piece of ice floe about the size of a football field.
However, unlike ordinary icebergs, this ice floe is a blue as clear as a blue crystal, with a thick layer of white snow on top.
The most striking thing is that in the center of this ice floe stands an attic also made of blue ice and snow, which should be from China in the shape of the cornices and arches.
"Huh?" Liang En, who landed on the ice floe, stared curiously at the attic in front of him, he really didn't understand why he could see a Chinese-style building in this place far away from the mainland of China.
Unlike many others, although there are various cultivation sects in Huaxia in this world, there are basically no more than three hundred people in one location, and the internal structure is closer to that of a club.
This situation arises because the cultivation of the East mainly depends on the cultivation of the mind, and the strict hierarchy is obviously not in line with the Oriental style of cultivating immortals that tend to be at ease and leisurely.
The second is that the extraordinary resources that a region can have are limited, and if everyone is piled together, it will only quickly and completely consume the materials of an area.
The third and final point is that Huaxia is a unified country, and even in this transcendent world, it is already the limit to be able to allow small-scale cultivation gatherings, and it will not allow a large number of destructive people to form a tight organization.
Especially after the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, the first Great Rites Discussion launched by Neo-Confucianism was aimed at those various sects that were overly inflated during the Yuan Dynasty, and those who did not listen to the call were either eliminated or driven away.
Of course, this operation will not be completely eliminated with one ultimatum, but will be announced many times, and even when the soldiers are in the city, they will be persuaded to surrender, so the whole process is very smooth.
Another reason for this success is that in addition to Shinto practice, which is monopolized by the government, the traditional direction of practice, whether it is Buddhism, Taoism, martial arts, or even demons, tends to be individual practice.
Therefore, for them, the sect is just convenient for cultivation, and if the government can provide the same convenience, they don't mind disbanding the sect according to the requirements of the imperial court.
They would even organize themselves and work with the imperial court to clean up those who had ruined the reputation of cultivators.
In this case, those who were only using the excuse of cultivation were obviously not opponents, so most of them were eliminated, and a few were either scattered or fled overseas.
Therefore, Liang En suspected that the strange palace on the ice floe in front of him was likely to be the remains left by a group of guys who had escaped overseas back then, so he immediately raised his vigilance.
After all, judging from the information he had read, almost every one of the guys who had been cleaned up had a way to die, and most of them had distorted and abnormal thoughts, and it was very likely that the of setting a trap in their own house would be able to do it in this case.
After all the preparations were done, Liang En walked to the door of this attic with his sword in hand, and then looked up at the plaque.
"The Blue Maiden's Pavilion? It's themโ"
