I found

/var/lib/qubes/appvms

has folders for each VM, but inside each folder there's only firewall.xml and icon.png

where can I find the .cfg file that xen uses? And how can I start these VMs using this .cfg? I want to do some xen tests

Guerlan:
You were close. All VM definitions are in /var/lib/qubes/qubes.xml. See
https://github.com/Qubes-Community/Contents/blob/master/docs/misc/iaq.adoc#what-is-the-process-flow-when-starting-an-appvm-under-qubes-r4-x
for the full process. Make sure to make a copy of that qubes.xml and be
careful if you want to try editing it directly. Test stopping and
starting sys-net & sys-firewall before rebooting if you do.
