Hong Kong Variety Show: I am invincible, you can do whatever you want

Chapter 359: Give the Ancients a Little Shock
Lufa was dressed in a black Taoist robe with gold decorations, with long fluttering beard and deep eyes, as if he could see through everything in the world. He was surrounded by an indescribable immortal aura that made people involuntarily feel awe.

"Your Majesty, who is this person?"

Finally, an elderly minister could no longer suppress his curiosity and asked in a trembling voice.

The emperor glanced at his ministers and spoke slowly, "This is Taoist Lu Fa, who comes from the Penglai Fairy Island overseas. He is the leader of the Military Fire God Cult and possesses extraordinary magic. He is grateful for the will of heaven and has come to help me revive the Heavenly Family. From today on, Taoist Lu Fa is the imperial teacher of this dynasty. When you see him, it is like seeing me."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the hall.

The position of national teacher has rarely been established since the founding of the country. His status is second only to that of the emperor, and is enough to influence the court and the country.

Now, the emperor has so rashly decided to appoint a Taoist priest of unknown origin as the imperial teacher. How could this not shock and unsettle his ministers?
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable!"

Almost at the same time, many important officials stood up. Some of them were old and virtuous, while others were young and promising. They were all pillars of the country, but at this moment they all expressed their strong opposition to the emperor's decision.

They were either worried that Lu Fa's origins were unknown and that he might be treacherous; or they were worried that this move would shake the government and cause chaos.

"Your Majesty, this matter concerns the foundation of the country, and it cannot be decided rashly!" An old minister stood up tremblingly, with a bit of sadness and helplessness in his voice. He knew very well that once Lu Fa became the national teacher, it would trigger a series of chain reactions, and there would be no peace in the court.

"Your Majesty, Taoist Lu Fa's origins are unknown and his intentions are hard to predict. I hope Your Majesty will think twice before acting!" Another minister followed suit, speaking earnestly, his eyes full of worry for the country.

However, the emperor was not shaken by these voices. He glared and shouted angrily: "You want to rebel!"

This sudden roar was like a bolt from the blue, instantly dropping the atmosphere in the hall to freezing point.

The word "rebellion" was like a sword hanging over everyone's heart, making them shudder. No matter how much dissatisfaction and doubt they had in their hearts, they could only suppress it at this moment, and they all knelt on the ground to show their loyalty and determination.

When the noise gradually died down, Lu Fa slowly stood up. He swept his eyes gently over the crowd with a faint smile on his lips: "It seems that you have misunderstood me and do not believe that I came here to revive the prestige of the Heavenly Family. But please rest assured, since I have been entrusted by Your Majesty, I will do my best to assist Your Majesty and work together for the great cause of the country. As for those rumors, they are just a fuss for mediocre people."

However, there were still a few ministers with strong personalities. Although they knelt on the ground, they looked up and glared at Lu Fa, saying indignantly: "Evil Taoist! We are here today, and we will definitely not let you stir up trouble!"

Although their postures seem funny, their loyalty and courage make people respect them.

Lufa naturally knew this.

So he doesn't care either.

"My Lords,"

Lufa's voice was deep and magnetic, penetrating every corner of the hall.

"I know that people often fear and misunderstand the unknown. However, everything in the world has its own reason. I am not here for my own honor, but for the foundation of the Heavenly Family and the well-being of the people on this land. Your Majesty's trust is as heavy as Mount Tai. How dare I slack off?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Fa gently raised his hand and took something out from his sleeve.

The object gleamed with a cold metallic luster in the sunlight. It was the classic among modern weapons - the AK47 automatic rifle.

This sudden scene stunned everyone in the hall for a moment, as if time had frozen at this moment.

"Today, let you witness with your own eyes what true power is."

There was unquestionable majesty in Lufa's words, and he raised his gun. "Bang bang bang bang bang——"

A series of crisp and rapid gunshots suddenly rang out, breaking the silence in the hall and shocking everyone's hearts.

The bullets were like angry Thor's hammers, accurately hitting several decorative stone pillars in the hall, instantly riddling them with holes, with gravel flying everywhere and dust filling the air.

This sudden aesthetic of violence made all the civil and military officials in the court tremble, and their faces were filled with fear and disbelief.

As the modern sound of AK47 gunfire echoed in the ancient hall, time seemed to freeze at this moment.

The eyes of those ministers who were once hostile to Lufa were now filled with disbelief and fear.

Their trembling bodies were not only caused by the sudden violent impact, but also because the concepts of force and power that they had believed in for a long time were completely overturned at this moment.

"This...how is this possible?"

The voice of an old minister was trembling and sounded particularly weak. He looked at the weapon in Lufa's hand in disbelief. It was a kind of power that they had never seen before and had never imagined would appear in this world.

In his opinion, a truly strong man should wield swords and spears, and use traditional martial arts to shock everyone, rather than doing this, using such strange tools to change the situation of the battle in an instant.

"What...what is this? Could it be the legendary magical weapon of the immortals?"

Someone asked in a trembling voice, his voice full of awe for the unknown power.

"No, this is neither martial arts nor magic, but the result of science and wisdom."

Lufa's voice was particularly clear amid the aftermath of the gunshots.

"Although it is not from our Taoism, it can be a powerful weapon for us to protect our homeland and resist foreign enemies. My Lords, the times are changing, and our thoughts and methods must also keep pace with the times. Only in this way can we ensure that the prestige of the Heavenly Family will last forever and the great cause of the country will prosper."

"My Lords, this is the new power that I have brought. In this era, only innovation and change can lead us out of the predicament and revive the royal family. I am willing to use this power to assist Your Majesty, eliminate the treacherous and corrupt officials, stabilize the court, and join hands with you Lords to create an unprecedented prosperity."

The emperor sat on the dragon throne, his eyes shining with unprecedented light.

He had never thought that Lu Fa could bring such a subversive power. This power was enough to make his grand plan a reality ahead of time, enough to allow him to sit firmly on the throne and look down upon the heroes in this chaotic world.

"Master Lu Fa, you really did not disappoint me!"

The emperor's voice was full of joy and anticipation.

"With such a powerful weapon, why should my family worry about not being able to unify the world and create a foundation for eternity?"

All the civil and military officials were silent.

This sudden change made them not know what to say for a moment.

But Lufa certainly knows that it is not that simple, and change is never easy.
