Li San looked at Sun Haozi with angry eyes, his fists clenched and clicked, while Sun Haozi squinted at Li San with disdain, as if he didn't take him seriously at all.

Wu Zhiyuan saw that the atmosphere was not good, so he quickly changed the topic and asked, "Brother Sun, do you have any fire folds on you?" ”

"My brother and sister and I were plotted by those two villains, and they robbed us of all our guns, fire folds and food, and that dead eunuch was so insidious and vicious that he actually threw all the food away from us, and all the fire folds were also searched by them." Sun Haozi spread his hands and looked helpless.

Wu Zhiyuan sighed lightly, without lighting, he couldn't go down to the cave below, and although he found the passage to the main tomb, he could only sigh.

"I've got it here." Li San took out a handful of fire folds from his arms, there were exactly three of them, and he gave one to Wu Zhiyuan and Moon Shadow Fuxian, and hung Sun Hemp to the side.

Sun Haozi was unhappy in his heart, but he had nothing to do, so he pretended to be unimpressed and snorted coldly, and smiled at Li Sanxia: "Li Sanxia, you are so good, why don't you go down first?" ”

Li San was not a strong and competitive person, but he couldn't get used to Sun Haozi's disdainful look, so he turned his head to Wu Zhiyuan and said, "Brother Yi, I'll go down to explore the road first, and you will wait for me above." So saying, he went to the cave in the ground.

Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly stopped him, and said, "Li Lanru and the man in black have already gone down, if there is a mechanism, they will also bear the brunt." There shouldn't be any danger down there, so let's just go down together. ”

Several people nodded in agreement, Wu Zhiyuan pulled out the Blood Shadow Demon Knife pinned to his waist and handed it to the Moon Shadow Fuxian, and he himself clenched the peachwood sword in his hand. The two entered the cave one after the other, and Li San and Sun Haozi followed.

The four of them first saw the lamp slave who fell to the ground in the cave, and the Gu poisonous giant scorpion pressed under the lamp slave explained a fierce battle before, and the four of them stayed for a while, and then went straight along the cave.

Although this cave is slightly narrow, but very straight, the four people stopped for a moment in front of the relief carving of the phoenix on the stone wall, and were shocked by the exquisite carving on the cave wall, and the carving pattern of the phoenix on the dragon and the dragon in front of the phoenix is also the first time in their lives, but because they have long heard of the Empress Dowager Cixi's behavior of violating the palace tradition, so in addition to Wu Zhiyuan, Moon Shadow Fuxian, Li San and Sun Haozi are not surprised by the design of this pattern.

The top of this cave is designed as a dome, except for the dragon and phoenix carved on the two stone walls, there is no other place to win, if it is the mausoleum of the nobles, it is still in line with the convention, but if this is the mausoleum of the queen mother of a country, it seems to be a bit thin, and the four people vaguely have this feeling, but because they have not seen the furnishings in the main tomb, they can not make this conclusion.

Along the way, no other abnormalities were found, and there was no trace of Li Lanru and the man in black walking through. Rao is like this, the four of them are still walking very cautiously, about the time of touching half of the incense, Wu Zhiyuan saw at a glance that there were two red lights not far in front of him, and at a glance he knew that they were emitted by the fire fold.

"Put out the fire!" Wu Zhiyuan raised his hand and signaled to everyone.

Moon Shadow Fuxian and Li San understood, and hurriedly extinguished the burning end of the fire fold on the ground. The four of them held on to the stone wall and groped their way towards the light not far ahead.

As the distance closes, it can be clearly seen that the location of the two fire folds seems to be a burial chamber, and the fire folds are motionless, probably inserted in the lamp trough or the gap in the stone wall.

Wu Zhiyuan turned around and whispered to everyone: "Everyone be careful, Li Lanru and the man in black should be in the tomb in front." ”

As he spoke, Wu Zhiyuan lowered his footsteps and continued to walk towards the tomb, the light emitted by the fire fold was not very bright, but at this time, he could clearly see the furnishings in the tomb that went straight to the door, and there seemed to be several black lacquer coffins stacked inside.

Seeing this scene, Wu Zhiyuan couldn't help but stop, and there was a suspicion in his heart, could it be that the tomb in front of him was not the main tomb of the Empress Dowager Cixi? If it was the main burial chamber, there should only be a coffin in it, that is, the Empress Dowager Cixi herself, and there would never be a burial coffin. But he saw that there were three coffins in the tomb, and what was even more bizarre was that these three coffins were stacked up and down, like stacked Arhats.

In some Han folk customs, coffin stacking is a very unlucky way to bury, even if the husband and wife are buried together, the coffins must be buried side by side, and the two coffins will not be stacked, because the coffins are stacked with the meaning of piling up corpses into a mountain, which has a great impact on future generations. So at this time, Wu Zhiyuan couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw the three coffins in the tomb that seemed to be stacked together.

"Isn't the Empress Dowager Cixi a Manchu? How could the burial customs of the Miao people be adopted? Moon Shadow Fuxian also saw the scene of three coffins stacked in the tomb, and he was also surprised.

"Hmong?" Wu Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and whispered to the Moon Shadow Fuxian behind him, "You mean that there is this custom of stacking coffins and burying them in the Miao people?" ”

Moon Shadow Fuxian took a closer look at the situation in the tomb not far away, and due to the size of the stone door of the tomb, he could only see the part facing the stone door. She thought for a moment and replied in a low voice: "There is a funeral custom among the Miao people, after death, people enter the coffin but do not enter the soil, but place the coffin in a local cave specially used to place the coffin, which is what the locals call the coffin cave. These coffins are in the order of first come, first served, with the coffin of the first coming at the bottom, and the coffin of the latter being placed on top of the coffin of the first comeder, and so on, and the coffins are constantly stacked. Apart from this, I have not seen any other custom of stacking coffins. ”

Wu Zhiyuan looked at the Moon Shadow Fuxian with a shocked face, but in his mind, he was wondering if the Moon Shadow Fuxian was also a Miao person.

Moon Shadow Fu Xian Wan'er smiled and said, "My master and most of the disciples in the Black Descent Sect are Miao people, so I know a little bit about this. ”

Wu Zhiyuan was suspicious in his heart, he remembered that in the tomb of Master Moon Shadow Fuxian, the coffin was not stacked with other coffins, but a hanging coffin hanging on the stone wall, so he expressed the doubts in his heart.

Moon Shadow Fuxian nodded and said: "In fact, the custom of burial in the coffin cave is not the funeral custom of all Miao people, only some Miao people are buried according to this custom, and the custom of hanging coffin burial is also the burial rules of some Miao people, and my master's hometown is buried with hanging coffins." ”

Wu Zhiyuan nodded, but the situation of the coffins stacked in the tomb in front of him still puzzled him, could it be that the Empress Dowager Cixi was a Miao person? Otherwise, how could the coffins be stacked in her burial chamber?

Li San and Sun Haozi behind him were also quite puzzled by the situation in the tomb, Li San pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "When I was walking the rivers and lakes, I heard some street storytellers say that the Empress Dowager Cixi is actually not a Manchu. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised, and at the same time turned their heads to look at Li San.
