Maintaining a neat formation, the group walked all the way to the rear hall. It was even more spacious than the main hall, containing only three stone platforms for coffins and a slate floor engraved with a Bagua diagram. Not a single mural could be found.
Generally speaking, subsidiary burial tombs were meant for the emperor's concubines or favored officials. The murals in such burial chambers mostly focused on narrative themes, depicting how deeply the emperor favored the deceased companions, refusing to be parted even in death.
Such blessings and favor naturally extended to the families of the deceased companions, which explained the stone platforms arranged for coffins, set up for the convenient burial of the favored officials' family members when they were buried alive as martyrs.
