After breakfast, Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang took Xiaowu and Xiaosizi out together, and Xiaowu was holding a basket in his arms.

In the basket is a white-clawed tabby cat who has just become a mother, and her litter of kittens, a total of five. This cat is the last litter in Meow Meow Tower. The little cat has just eaten his fill and is sleeping with the mother cat. The basket is covered with a blanket.

The three of them walked to a street market in the western suburbs, and found a noodle restaurant based on the address on the note.

The noodle shop was run by a couple. There was a ten-year-old daughter at home. She took the basket handed over by Zhan Zhao, and happily took it back to the yard to raise it.

The shopkeeper's hand was quite a coincidence and made a very sophisticated cat nest under a tree in the yard.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang sat down and drank a cup of tea. They had never been to Yuxin Mountain, so they asked the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper smiled, "Oh... it's all rumored that Yuxin Mountain dug up the ancient tomb of the princess of the previous dynasty. Is it true?"

"Princess of the previous dynasty?" Bai Yutang was curious, "Do you know which princess it is?"

The shopkeeper's straight smile, "Then I don't know. I just heard the two guys chatting while eating noodles here, saying what Princess Yan Guan is saying."

"Princess Yan Guan?" Zhan Zhao and Xiao Sizi held the cup and looked at each other - I haven't heard of it! Which dynasty is from?

Bai Yutang was slightly stunned, frowned and said to himself, "No?"

"What's wrong?" Zhan Zhao and Xiaosizi were all approaching Bai Yutang, "Do you know who Princess Yan Guan is?"

The fifth master looked at the two big-eyed monsters, one big and one small, and sighed again that his eyes were so big and round. After dipping his fingers in some water, he wrote two words on the table, "Salt Coffin".

"It's not Princess Yan Guan, but Princess Salt Coffin."

Zhan Zhao stared at the two words and frowned, "Salt coffin...it doesn't sound like a very festive name."

The little Sizi held his chin and asked, "What is a salt coffin? Is it a coffin made of salt? Will it not melt?"

"That thing is not very auspicious. I heard my grandfather talk about it before." Bai Yutang said, looking around and looking at the door.

Zhan Show and Xiaosizi looked at each other, puzzled... Is it something that cannot be heard?

"Ahem." The fifth master lowered his voice and said, "My ability to identify antiques depends on my grandfather. If it depends on my master's teaching..."

As he said that, the fifth master looked at the door again, and after confirming that the Heavenly Lord could not appear suddenly, he said, "That's bad."

Zhan Zhao and Xiaosizi held back their laughter. As expected, the fifth master was still afraid of people, so he had to say bad things to his master.

...

"Ah...sneeze"

On a hillside of Yuxin Mountain in the west of the city, Tianzun suddenly sneezes.

Yin Hou, who was yawning with his hands in his arms, glanced at Tianzun.

At this moment, they were sitting on a rock, and the Silver Demon King sat aside, surrounded by young men and girls from the Imperial Academy. The Silver Demon King was telling them the origin of Yuxin Mountain. A group of children heard it, looking at the Demon King and a group of chickens looking at the old hens.

Not far ahead, Gongsun was holding a compass and discussing the direction and history with several Hanlin Academy bachelors and Imperial Academy masters holding drawings.

No matter how many talents calculate, I don’t think there will be an ancient tomb here, and the feng shui is too bad!

In a ravine under the hillside, some soldiers from Sitianjian were using fences to circle a large area in front of the cave, and then carefully divided the area into many large grids with ropes.

The soldiers in Sitianjian are not like soldiers in the military camp. Most of them are literati and are proficient in astronomy and geography. One or two carry frames, holding brushes and feather dusters, and the sun is completely dark.

The head of Si Tianjian is Lu Lin, who is in his fifties, has a very knowledgeable and talented kung fu. He is also a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and is proficient in metal and stone water conservancy.

Lu Lin was observing a few pottery pieces under the hillside.

The Heavenly Lord looked at the clear sky after the snow, feeling a little impatient, "Aren't you here to see the coffin?"

Mr. Yin was helpless. He and the Heavenly Lord wanted to go into the cave just now. Who knew that the old masters would stop him and say he should be cautious. The feng shui of a very bad place is not good. Don’t disturb the ancients. You should not enter the tombs randomly... There are a lot of Balabala.

Hou Yin yawned again, suddenly raised his head and looked around.

Just like Yin Hou's movements, the Tianzun also looked around, as if he felt something changed.

At this time, the students of the Imperial Academy sitting around were trembling unconsciously.

An Lehou pulled his neck and asked Bao Yan in a low voice, "Oh, little mantou, do you feel it suddenly is so cold?"

Bao Yanzheng was fascinated by the hearing, and when Pang Yu reminded him, he also noticed that at some point, a thin layer of frost appeared on the ground.

Several Imperial College students rubbed their hands and subconsciously turned their faces to look at Tianzun... Is the old man so bored and lost his temper?

However, at this time, Tianzun and Yin Hou were both staring at the woods not far away.

The Silver Demon King stopped talking, and for a moment...there was a silence around him.

Gongsun, who were concentrating on studying the compass and drawings, also subconsciously raised his head and looked around.

"What's wrong?"

Zhao Lan was a little scared and asked quietly with her arms around Lin Yueyi.

Yi Yi was also a little confused. After looking at it, Siwai didn't notice any danger, he shook his head, "No sound."

Lin Xiao, who held his chin and listened to the demon king's lecture, seemed to understand something, and said to himself, "Yes... why is it suddenly so quiet?"

At this time, everything seemed to be still in the woods, and even the sound of the wind disappeared, making it a little quiet. The sun disappeared, and the weather suddenly became cold and gloomy.

Hou Yin glanced at the thin frost on the ground, thinking about something.

At this time, Lu Lin suddenly gently put down the pottery fragments in his hand and stood up, waved to the soldiers under his command, "Come back, don't get close to the entrance of the cave."

The soldiers ran back immediately. Gongsun was puzzled and asked Lu Lin in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Lu Lin frowned and looked at the hole that was blown up by the quarry and frowned and said, "It's strange..."

...

"A princess falls in love with a general, but can't she be together?"

In the noodle restaurant, the little Sizi listened to Bai Yutang's story and asked curiously, "Don't the princess and the general match? Why can't they be together?"

The fifth master spread his hands, "Because the princess already has a prince consort..."

Zhan Zhao was so amused and crying, "This is..."

The little Sizi held his face and said, "Oh, what should I do? Do you want to divorce me first?"

Zhan Zhao poked the little four son, "Do you still know Heli?"

Xiao Sizi nodded, "Yeah."

"What about later?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"The problem is that the general doesn't like this princess at all. He likes another princess, just this princess's sister."

Xiao Sizi took a sip of tea and shook her head, "It's so complicated."

"So that princess first poisoned his son-in-law and then poisoned his sister. Finally, she imprisoned the general and fed him poison and medicine, making him a fool."

Zhan Zhao opened his mouth wide, and the little Sizi also bulged his cheeks, "What a princess of this style?"

"Later, the matter was revealed, and the emperor sent someone to capture the princess and searched her palace thoroughly. As a result, dozens of such fools were found, and hundreds of corpses were hidden under the ground, all of which were her sweetheart's family, as well as her maids and servants whom she disliked. The murder method was very cruel. She piled the cellar with salt, and all the corpses were buried in salt, and they were marinated into mummies." The fifth master continued, "It made people angry and resentful at that time. Many people thought that the emperor should execute the princess. But the emperor had a deep affection for the princess. If the tiger poison did not eat her, she imprisoned her in a tower. The princess screamed and roared in the tower day and night, and the entire palace was in peace. The emperor also woke up from nightmares every night. Plagues began to prevail in the palace, and many people died of illness..."

"Wait a moment!"

Before the fifth master finished speaking, he saw Xiao Sizi suddenly stretching out his hand and stopping him.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao both stared at him.

Xiao Sizi put down the cup, tidy up her clothes, pulled the collar, put on the hat of the small cloak, then climbed onto Zhan Zhao's lap, sat down, grabbed Zhan Zhao and hugged him with both hands...

Zhan Zhao looked at the little four son in his arms helplessly. The little guy held his hand with both hands. After feeling safe, he nodded to Bai Yutang, and that meaning - continue!

Bai Yutang raised his head and saw that the shopkeepers in the restaurant were sitting on a table beside him. The boss hugged his daughter and the daughter hugged the cat. A group of people opened their eyes wide and waited for him to continue talking.

The fifth master had no choice but to continue, "One morning, the eunuchs found that the emperor died on the bed and had become a mummy. The ground of the palace was covered with a layer of salt, and the guards and palace maids all turned into salt and scattered all over the ground."

"Oh……"

The noodle restaurant owner gasped and the chef came to join in the fun to reflect on whether he had put too much salt when cooking in the past...

"Later, an old minister invited a monk. The monk said that the princess lived in a palace where mummies were buried under him for many years and had been possessed by a grudge. Only by killing her can the world be restored to peace." Bai Yutang poured himself a cup of tea, "The monk led people to tie the princess up and sealed the pillars with clay, making a pillar, and the pillars were carved with exorcism. Then the pillars were immersed in gold and sealed into a golden pillar. Then the pillars were placed in a coffin filled with salt and buried in the royal cemetery. In order not to let later generations find out about this, the princess's name was erased from all history books, so this princess was called the Princess of Salt Coffin."

After Bai Yutang finished speaking, the noodle shop was quiet and everyone stared at him.

After a long time, Zhan Zhao picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, "Maybe it's a lie, where is the royal cemetery in the western suburbs?"

The noodle shop owners’ family nodded, right!

The little Sizi tilted his head to look at Bai Yutang - so is the story over?

The fifth master smiled slightly, "There is a follow-up to this story."

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes, "Search..."

"When the princess was made into a human pillar, she was alive."

"Oh……"

This time it was not just the noodle shop, and Zhan Zhaohe Xiaosizi gasped.

"Living?" Xiao Sizi exclaimed.

"It is said that every night, the sound of "dongdongdongdongdong" will be heard in the royal cemetery, as if there is metal hitting the coffin board."

The noodle shop owner was scared away while holding his daughter. Zhan Zhao also hugged the little Sizi tightly and looked at Bai Yutang - rat! This spring is in full bloom... No! In the middle of winter, why do you tell such a terrifying story?!
