The corridor goes straight forward, besides the lamps on the tomb wall, there are many small niches closed by fences on both sides.

A niche (kan) is a small pavilion used to enshrine gods in ancient times. Some people also place ancestral tablets in the niche for worship.

It is equivalent to a small stone room or a small cabinet pulled out from the wall. The five characters of "Heaven, Earth, Monarch, Parent and Teacher" are usually engraved on the top of the niche to show people's belief class at that time.

However, in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, the function of the niche seems to be equivalent to a simple dungeon, or a small room for the craftsmen to live or rest temporarily.

The area of ​​each room is not very large, but it is enough for a normal person to move around in it.

And there are many daily items such as clay pots and stone kettles.

In some small niches, another suite was dug out, as if there were preferential treatment according to their status.

For example, there is an essential difference between those skilled craftsmen and coolies.

In short, it can be seen from a small niche that the ruling system at that time was clearly divided into classes.

Walking along the direction of the corridor, Luo Chen and his party passed through hundreds of niches, large and small, but without exception, the niches were all extremely clean.

Except for those scattered clay pots, there is nothing superfluous.

However, after turning a nearly right-angled corner, something different began to appear in front of everyone's eyes.

Although the niches dug out from the wall still exist, they are far from being as clean as before, and all the pottery pots and other utensils that were in every niche before have disappeared.

All kinds of mottled rust appeared on the originally clean fence outside the alcove, and the dots of potholes seemed to have been corroded by strong acid.

Moreover, after arriving here, the distance between each niche and the overall area became larger and larger, as if there was some pattern.

For example, the first niche that Luo Chen and his party saw after they turned a corner and stopped was more than double the size of the empty niches before.

Standing outside the fence and looking into the niche, the walls inside are covered with a lot of scratches, which were caused by some animal's claws.

And in the center of the niche, there is a decayed corpse. The skull is very similar to a human, but not exactly the same.

The bones of the legs are basically the same width as the bones of the arms, and they look more like the skeletons of humanoids such as apes.

Moreover, on the white leg bones of the corpse, there is a chain that locks it tightly, and the other end is fixed in the deepest corner of the niche.

"I'll go, Lord Luo, come and see, there are good things here!"

Fatty, who had always been restless, interrupted everyone's research on that kind of humanoid skeleton. Everyone turned around to look at the sound, and at a glance they saw the dead fatty lying in front of the fence in the second niche.

He also stretched out his strong arms, as if he was planning to grab something.

Seeing this, Luo Chen could only pat his forehead with a headache, and quickly walked up to the fat man.

Lifting his foot, he was about to kick the fat man's big pouting buttocks, but before Luo Chen's feet were in place;

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that in front of the fat man's palm stretched out to the niche, there was actually a strange little beast covered in scales curled up.

The little beast's head is conical, with a slender mouth and nose, and a pair of small eyes, but although the eyes are staring, they have lost all vitality.

It looks like an extremely realistic sculpture, with a long and narrow body and its whole body is covered with brown scales, which are like small tiles.

The flat and long tail, and the thick and short limbs made Luo Chen recognize the thing in front of him immediately.

It is a pangolin of the same type as the Fenshan Digger in his imaginary world, but the pangolin in front of him seems to have been dead for a long time, motionless.

Even Luo Chen could see the silver liquid filled in its body through its small eyeballs.

"Fatty, what the hell do you want to do?"

"It's shameful not to get up quickly!"

Seeing that Luo Chen's raised foot did not come down for a long time, Xiao Hu immediately ran over from behind and stretched out his hand to pull the fat man up from the ground.

But at the same time, the fat man's palm, which he tried to reach into the niche, finally touched the pangolin's stubby limbs, when he felt the strength of Xiaohu's dragging him.

Fatty also took advantage of the situation and grabbed the longest sharp object on the pangolin's feet, and then pulled it with his strength.

When the fat man got up from the ground, there was already an extra black claw in his hand, which looked like an old wolf's fang.

"Hey, old Hu, take a look, the fat man found something really good this time!"

"Hurry up and find a teacher tomorrow, let him take this thing and make another gold-touching talisman, and next time the fat man encounters dirty things, he will directly touch the gold-touching talisman on your face!"

"Ha ha!"
