Dao of the Bizarre Immortal

Chapter 782 - Clothes

“Don’t take that. It’s too heavy and not flexible at all,” Li Huowang took the steel spear from Qian Fu’s hands and then looked over at Wu Qi.

“Sister Wu, didn’t those guys let us seize a lot of weapons before? Bring them all out.”

Wu Qi used a key to open the storage box in the bathroom and piled the previously seized items on the table.

Li Huowang reached for two heavy pistols. These pistols were a bit different from the ones in television dramas. Their stocks were long and looked like they could hold a lot of bullets.

Li Huowang weighed them lightly in his hands, then nodded at Qing Wanglai. “We have time now, right? Teach me how to use a gun.”

Li Huowang didn’t know how to use a gun, but he could still understand the value of firearms.

The gun is fast beyond seven steps and both fast and accurate within seven steps.

He didn't know what the gun corresponded to, whether it was the Simings’ use of the Heavenly Dao or some kind of weapon belonging to them.

It was sufficient for him that this thing could kill his enemies, no matter what they were.

“Uh... Li Huowang, we are going to negotiate, not fight,” Qing Wanglai said helplessly as he looked at the table full of weapons.

“Just because we say it’s a negotiation doesn’t mean it will be. The chances of successful negotiation might actually be higher with these things.”

“Hey, we have their people in our hands. They should be much more willing to negotiate this time.”

Li Huowang looked at Qing Wanglai. “Why talk so much? Just teach me how to use a gun. What’s the matter? Do you have to keep those skills from me too?”

Li Huowang’s expression suddenly became serious as he held the two guns and walked towards Qing Wanglai. He stared at his face persistently, carefully discerned his features, and then compared them to the Simings he remembered.

Li Huowang’s pupils shrank. “Zhuge Yuan? Qing Wanglai? You are... you are the Three Pure Ones!”

“Heavens, this guy has completely lost it. You were right not to teach him how to use a gun.” The others quickly gathered around, pulled Li Huowang back a few steps, and then took the guns from his hands.

“What are you guys doing? I’m not crazy!” Li Huowang shook off the hands holding his arms in frustration. He wouldn't have blurted out his thoughts if he hadn’t been so shocked just now.

He had spoken the truth, but the others just viewed him as someone having an episode. He realized these people didn’t understand the true nature of reality.

Wait... The other Simings should know that Qing Wanglai is the Three Pure Ones. Why are they acting like this? Li Huowang looked uncertainly at the others.

If he was here, why were the other Simings surrounding him in the Baiyu Capital? What kind of event was this a reflection of?

“It’s okay, everything is fine.” Yang Na placed herself before Li Huowang. “He took his medicine. Just a few more courses and he’ll be better.”

Wu Qi leaned her back against the wall and sighed deeply. “What kind of people do I have around me? There’s not a single normal person.”

Li Huowang no longer planned to explain anything. They would always misunderstand him no matter what he said.

In the future, he would have to use the projection method to communicate with them. As long as the main goal was to join forces against the god Yu’er of the Dharma Sect, everything else could be set aside.

“Qing Wanglai, what Chen Hongyu said before was right. Think about it carefully; what if this is a trap? If we are not fully prepared, what if they wipe us out in one fell swoop?”

The others said nothing and simply looked at Li Huowang with confused expressions. What was going on with this guy? Why was he acting so erratically?

Qing Wanglai patiently explained, “Since I agreed to the negotiation, I have everything prepared. You don’t need to worry.”

“Okay, as long as you say so. Now teach me how to use a gun.”

“I already told you not to worry. Why do you still want to learn how to use a gun?” Qing Wanglai seemed a bit troubled by Li Huowang’s request.

“I’m not worried about the negotiation, but I do worry about potential problems afterward. Learning a new skill opens up new paths. Why are you being so stingy about teaching me?”

Li Huowang focused on Qing Wanglai’s expression, trying to figure out why he was hesitant to teach him how to use a gun.

What kind of Siming is Qing Wanglai? Why is he so wary of me? Does the gun symbolize something?

“It’s not as simple as you think. This thing isn’t as easy to use as you imagine. The way they show it in movies and TV, hitting the target with a single shot, is all just an act.

“Moreover, this thing is very sensitive. If someone sees it or if it’s caught on surveillance, it’ll be big trouble.”

“You can’t say that. If someone shoots at me, I can’t just rush at them with a knife.” Li Huowang became more suspicious the more Qing Wanglai explained. What is this guy guarding against?

“Actually, Li Huowang, I prepared something more suitable for you.”

“What?” Li Huowang frowned.

Li Huowang saw a black protective suit presented in front of him, but it didn’t feel quite right when he picked it up. The suit was very heavy and weighed down in his hands, with some hard sheets inside.

“This is...”

“Try it on.”

Li Huowang looked at Qing Wanglai, glanced at the others, and quickly changed into the heavy suit.

After putting it on, Li Huowang felt his breathing become more difficult. This suit probably weighed over twenty pounds.

“What is this?” Li Huowang asked. Before anyone could react, Qing Wanglai took out a gun and fired several shots at his chest.

The incredibly shocked Li Huowang was knocked to the ground by the strong impact.

As he quickly reached for his chest, he found there was no bleeding, and the pain in his chest was actually decreasing.

“How is it? With this bulletproof vest, you’ll be invincible if you combine it with your close combat skills. I also prepared a helmet for you.”

Qing Wanglai picked up a helmet thicker than a motorcycle helmet and was about to explain again.

Smack! Yang Na rushed forward and slapped him hard in the face.

Yang Na was trembling with anger. She stood in front of Qing Wanglai and glared at him with eyes filled with rage, as though she wanted to eat him alive.
