Lin Yi was not too familiar with this watch.
At the beginning, two old gentlemen, Bai and Luo, personally put the "Shangjing" watch, which was their status symbol, on Lin Yi's arm.
These two watches are of extraordinary significance.
I still remember that the two of them talked about the origin of this watch because a few years later, the descendants of "Bakui" gathered again because they wanted to open "Dingling".
After the task is completed, the reward will be given above.
But this watch, from the outside, doesn’t have any visible appearance. At least tens of thousands of "Shangjing brand" watches were produced back then, so there is still a chance of encountering the same model.
In order to distinguish it, there is a hand-engraved number and inscription on the back of the watch cover to verify its authenticity. Ordinary commercial models do not have these marks.
Mr. Li looked at Lin Yi and his eyes stayed on his watch, and he reached out to lift the strap.
"What? Do you still have research on this kind of antique watches?"
"Oh, I'm just curious. We really don't see many domestically produced mechanical watches in the early days."
The old man handed over the watch directly.
"Look at it. I've worn it for decades. I wind it on time every day. It's always been fine. But the bezel is a bit smudged. Nowadays, there's no place to match the bezel of an old-fashioned watch."
Lin Yi took the watch with both hands, looked at the front carefully, and then turned it over to the back.
The familiar handwritten number and inscription mark are indeed on the back cover of the watch.
A capital number: seven.
On the back covers of the two watches in his hands, "Lu" and "八" were engraved.
According to Mr. Bai, this number is not based on seating or order. The watches are in a box. Everyone stands in a row and the leader gives them to them one by one.
"Lao Yuanliang, your watch is a top-notch product!"
When Mr. Li heard this, his eyes immediately shone.
"Would you two say hello?"
"I am a tree, and she is a snowflake."
"Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Lin and Miss Bai. Nice to meet you. I don't know about you two."
Before he finished asking, Lin Yi took out two watches from his bag and placed them neatly on the table.
The two watches are exactly the same as his, except for the slightly different styles of straps.
Mr. Li stood up directly, picked up the two watches from the table, turned to the back and looked at them, and he suddenly knew something.
"What is your relationship with Bai and Luo?"
"To tell you the truth, he is our husband. This is Mr. Bai's granddaughter, Bai Lu."
"It turns out that the students and granddaughters of these two brothers are my own family members!"
Mr. Li stood up and shook hands with them both, his joy beyond words.
Bai Lu only reacted at this time.
"Are you the descendant of the 'Guanzhong Li Family'?"
"It's true! Hahaha, I didn't expect that after so long, someone would still remember our branch."
She never dreamed that among the "Eight Leaders", the "Guanzhong Li Family" who had disappeared for so long, the orthodox successor of the Kanyu family and the descendant of Li Chunfeng, would actually be bumped into by them here.
But now that I think about it, the "Bakui" Southern Fourth Lineage back then had a "hostile" relationship with them, and they were on the same level.
Among the four sects of the Northern Sect, three are members of our own family. Aren’t the remaining ones the long-lost Li family?
"No. Isn't this too outrageous? Oh my god! I heard from my grandpa that the Li family has been in the profession for a long time."
"Have you long since given up your incense?"
Bai Lu nodded sheepishly.
Mr. Li smiled heartily.
"Yes, the incense has indeed been cut off. Strictly speaking, I am not a bloodline of the Li family. The incense of Huang Guanren has been cut off long ago. I was adopted. According to seniority, I should be called Li Shouyan.”
Lin Yi suddenly remembered that Mr. Bai had mentioned a few words related to the Li family.
The "Bakui" are ranked according to the seniority of "Yuan Henry Zhen, Fu Shou Kang Ning".
The Li family has been in a state of semi-retirement since the generation of "Fu".
Later, when I arrived at Li Shouyan's place, he belonged to the older generation in terms of seniority. Now that he has completely withdrawn from the world and is not interested in worldly affairs, no one cares about this anymore.
"What is this watch of yours?"
Li Shouyan picked up the watch and put it on his wrist and talked about the past.
His uncle is Li Fulun, who is the true successor of the Li family.
Moreover, Li Chunfeng's incense has been interrupted more than once. Fortunately, their family is prosperous. Whether through adoption or other methods, the blood of the Li family can basically be guaranteed.
In Li Fulun's generation, no one from the same clan could count on him, so he could only adopt a son from a family named Li from the same clan.
This is how Li Shouyan came to be.
"My father told me the truth only after I became an adult, and then passed on to me several secret 'heavenly books' of the Li family."
"Yunzhuan Tianshu?"
Lin Yi blurted out.
"how do you know?"
Li Shouyan's expression changed and he looked at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi then told him the important things about how he found the mark left by Li Chunfeng in the "Double Weeks Tomb" and how he got out of trouble step by step, and how he discovered the Yunzhuan Heavenly Book and the barrier knife he had hidden in the tomb. Li Shouyan listened.
After listening to his story, Mr. Li nodded silently.
"I didn't expect that there is such a place in Xiqi Mountain that even our own family has never found. Can you take that 'Killing' with you? Can you let me see it?"
Lin Yi took off the saber from his waist and handed it to old man Li Shouyan.
The old man took the barrier knife with both hands and gently pulled out the blade. A cold light swept across his face.
"Good knife, good knife, good knife! It's like a bright weapon meets a bright master. This knife has found a good owner."
"Oh, grandpa, isn't this Brother Lin's knife? How did you take it? Return it to me quickly."
Li Ling walked out of the kitchen with a bowl full of fruit. She happened to see Mr. Li holding a sword in his hand and quickly stopped him.
Lin Yi exchanged glances with him, and the old man turned his back and made a silent gesture.
The two immediately understood what he meant.
He probably kept it from his granddaughter, and maybe even his own son didn't know his details.
In this case, the two of them accompanied the old man and continued to play out the scene.
"Just looking at it, it doesn't matter, I won't look bad."
Lin Yi said, putting away the two watches on the table into his cuffs by putting away his knife.
"Looking at your state, you are quite happy chatting. Brother Lin, Sister Lu, eat apples."
"I am seventy or eighty years old. Of course I am happy to have someone to chat with me. I am also happy that you have time to visit grandpa more often. You didn't see it just now. When you came over, those old guys were jealous. The look in his eyes."
Li Ling happily sat next to her grandfather, pinched her shoulders twice, and suddenly looked up and saw the clock on the wall.
"Oh, it's almost dinner time. I'm afraid it's too late to order takeout now. How about I show you my skills?"
"Okay then, let's go, I'll help you."
Bai Lu put down the apple in her hand and followed Li Ling into the kitchen.
Lin Yi and Li Shouyan were left alone. (End of chapter)
