Afterwards, the three of them once again explored the gates on the other three sides of the palace.

The gates on the north and south sides each lead to a side hall, and there are no burial objects inside.

The two side halls are all painted with murals, which record some scenes of Empress Xiao's travels, sacrifices, hunting, etc., and there is nothing special about them.

The two gates leading to the back hall, after opening, are a corridor leading to the depths of the back.

That is where the back hall is, but it is just the end of the passage. A large amount of rubble in the Nordic countries has blocked the way.

I think the archaeological team excavated in this back hall, right?

The location of the archaeological team is just to the west of Niuxin Mountain, and the closest one is the back hall.

However, judging from their appearance, it seems that they have not found the coffin of Empress Xiao yet.

They have only sorted out some burial objects, and perhaps entered the tomb. It's just that the passage is blocked and they can't come to the middle hall and the front hall.

The information of Empress Xiao was recorded on the burial objects, which allowed the experts of the archaeological team to confirm that this was the tomb of Empress Xiao.

They couldn't go to the back hall, so the three of them returned to the middle hall.

When passing by the huge bronze tripod, Shen Hao took a closer look.

Since the archaeological team did not find the coffin of Empress Xiao in the back hall, where was her coffin hidden?

Is there a hidden underground palace under this mausoleum?

Such a grand show above is just a fake tomb?

Maybe it is true.

Shen Hao released his spiritual consciousness and explored underground.

This exploration really made a discovery.

So Shen Hao walked to the bronze tripod and looked at the ground under the big tripod.

He leaned down, got under the bronze tripod, and knocked on the floor tiles a few times.

Sure enough, there was a hollow knocking sound.

This shows that the stone floor tiles are hollow.

Hu Bayi and Fatty saw what Shen Hao did, so they also got in.

Hearing the hollow knocking sound, they immediately shouted in joy: "Fuck, it's hollow, there seems to be another world underneath!"

"Old Hu, Master Shen, let's pry open the floor tiles and see?" Fatty said.

"Don't worry, move the tripod first." Shen Hao said.

"Ah? Such a big tripod must be tens of thousands of pounds, how can we push it?" Fatty was dumbfounded.

"Haha, you don't have to do it, I can do it myself." Shen Hao said.

Although this bronze tripod is heavy, it is actually nothing in the eyes of him, a foundation-building cultivator.

Let Hu Bayi and Fatty stand farther away.

Then, Shen Hao used his magic power, pressed on the tripod, and pushed it hard with all his strength.

Suddenly, a friction sound was heard, and the bronze tripod was directly pushed away four or five meters.

Shen Hao finished his practice and exhaled a little.

Then, he called Hu Bayi and Fatty over.

He asked them to dig up the floor tiles carefully.

"Be careful, there seems to be a fire eye underneath. Although it is covered by the floor tiles, once it is opened and air enters it, it will definitely ignite a big fire. Don't let you become roast ducks in the fireplace!" Shen Hao said.

"Hiss~ It's so dangerous, Lao Hu, we have to be careful." Fatty took a breath of cold air.

The two of them came to the floor tiles carefully, far away, just stretched out their hands, grabbed the shovel, and pried into the gap between the floor tiles.

After a while, the floor tiles became loose, and when the floor tiles were pulled out, a large hole of one meter square was immediately revealed.

Before the two of them could breathe a sigh of relief, the air in the hall was sucked into the cave underground, bringing up a whirlwind.

Then, a huge flame burst out from the cave mouth, soaring into the sky, illuminating the entire hall with a bright red color.

The flames were three or four feet high.

"Oh my goodness, such a big fire, there must be a crater underneath, right?" Fatty said in horror.

"That's not the case, it's just a branch of the fire vein at most, wait for it to burn for a while, and then it will go out. Otherwise, what if Empress Dowager Xiao ordered people to open the mountain for a mausoleum again?"

"If the volcano really erupted, her mausoleum would be destroyed!"

"Don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients!"

Shen Hao said.

"Hehehe, we dare not underestimate the ancients. Which mausoleum they built is simple? Those who underestimate it may die." Fatty said with a smile.

Hu Bayi and Fatty rubbed their cheeks that were burned by the fire and retreated to Shen Hao's side.

This big fire erupted for a full hour before it slowly went out.

Shen Hao probed his spiritual consciousness and found that the raging magma had subsided.

It was only flowing in the deepest cracks of the cave and had basically solidified.

Only a few sparks were still burning.

Unless it was actively triggered, there would be no more fire.

The terrain chosen by Empress Dowager Xiao was really good. From the outside, it looked like a nine-dragon jade lotus.

AndUnderground, there is also an underground river flowing.

Dragon veins value water, and without water, they are not real dragons.

This dragon vein is very good.

There are not only water dragons, but also fire dragons, water and fire complement each other.

There is also Taotie to suppress it again, swallowing the spiritual energy from all directions, maintaining the pattern, and it will not be destroyed for a thousand years.

Hu Bayi and Fatty put their heads into the cave entrance and looked down.

After an hour of fierce roasting by the fire below, the temperature is at least several hundred degrees, and the burning heat below can be felt at the entrance of the cave.

With the help of sporadic firelight, it can be seen that the bottom of the cave seems to be thirty or forty meters away from the ground.

It is not suitable to go down now, otherwise it will become a barbecue.

"Master Shen, the temperature below is too high, I can't go down!" Fatty said to Shen Hao.

"Don't worry, wait a while, there are water veins flowing underground, and the temperature drops quickly." Shen Hao said.

The three waited for another hour at the entrance of the hall.

The fat man would go over to check every once in a while to see if the temperature had dropped.

After an hour, the temperature had dropped almost enough.

So he took a rope, tied one end to the legs of the bronze tripod, and let the other end down.

The three of them descended to the bottom of the cave along the rope.

As soon as they landed, they smelled a burning odor.

The fat man looked around. This deep underground cave was very wide, with a large area and a lot of space.

It was just that the entrance was a little narrow, and the overall space was not much less than the hall space above.

This cave space was not overlapped with the hall space above, but was staggered for a distance.

The entrance to the cave was only at the edge of the cave.

I saw that in the center of the cave, there were hundreds of black things piled together.

The three of them walked up and saw that they were hundreds of charred corpses burned by the fire.

The burnt smell in the cave came from here.

The three of them took out their masks and covered their noses.

Looking closely, these charred corpses seemed to be tied up with ropes, kneeling with their hands tied, facing east.

These should be slaves used for burial, used to bury Empress Xiao.

"This doesn't look like an underground mausoleum." The fat man muttered.
