Kushta, in turn, translates as sand in the local language.

This city, located on the west side of Bailu Mountain and close to the Moon Shadow Desert, is also known as Sand City.

Many years ago, there were no towns here, all there was was just an endless desert.

After the establishment of the White Deer Academy, in order to resist the sand worm tide from the Moon Shadow Desert, some descendants of the academy and the nearby villagers came here by trekking through mountains and rivers and built a military town here from scratch.

In order to prevent the city from being abandoned, those reclaimers resolutely put themselves and their descendants down here.

Year after year, day after day, the city on the edge of the desert grows stronger.

It's just that many of the people who were born and raised in this city have never visited Bailu Mountain in their lives and set foot in the pure land of the Central Plains.

But they have no regrets.

Because they are the descendants of those who reclaim the wasteland, because they were born in this world with the task of guarding the border for the Central Plains.

Of course, in addition to the descendants of these reclamation people, some heroes in the Central Plains will also join Shacheng from time to time, either to improve their own strength, or to keep the people of the Central Plains safe.

Regardless, these people are worthy of respect.

After Fang Yue listened to Dongfang Ming's introduction to Kushta City, she also began to have a strong interest in this sand city that was independent of the Central Plains but served the Central Plains.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that when Dongfang Ming introduced Kushta City, Li Zhining, who was beside him, would also speak from time to time to make additions for Dongfang Ming.

But thinking that this White Deer Mountain belonged to the territory of Great Chu in the past, Fang Yue didn't think much about it, and listened to the story.

"Little friend Fang Yue, do you know why the old man has such a picture of five big and three rough even though he claims to be a scribe?"

Hearing Dongfang Ming's question, Fang Yue was a little stunned for a while.

"This ...... The younger generation really didn't think about it...... But I've heard that although the dean loves to read, he's a fighter, so I guess that's why it's right. ”

"Hehe, Xiaoyou's words make sense. Dongfang Ming laughed while holding one hand, and there was a ball of spiritual power slowly rotating in the palm of his hand.

"This is?" Fang Yue was shocked, "Could it be that the dean has a double cultivation career and can't succeed?!"

"Hahaha, no, no, the old man is indeed just a fighter. ”

Dongfang Ming laughed when he heard this, and casually scattered the spiritual power ball just now.

"Little friend doesn't know, in fact, when the old man first came into contact with cultivation, he also aimed at cultivating as a controller. To tell you the truth, the old man's ability to perceive spiritual power back then was still a leader among his peers. ”

Fang Yue was puzzled when she heard it: "But why ......?"

"Because, the old man was born in this Kushta city. Dongfang Ming said as he raised his eyes to look at the city that was faintly visible at the foot of the mountain, "Fang Yue Xiaoyou, you haven't seen the sand worm tide, you never know what it will be like to face that overwhelming insect tide." ”

Speaking of this, Dongfang Ming narrowed his eyes slightly.

"The Sandworm is a very special creature in the Lunaris Desert. Ordinary sandworms look like worms, but they are as long as two or three people, and as wide as two people hugging each other. Whenever the sand worm tide comes, almost all the sand worms in the entire Lunaris Desert will converge and try to pass through Kushta City and cross the White Deer Mountain to the Central Plains to feed. It's hard to imagine that such a big bug suddenly gathers together, and you can't see the end at all. It's a really desperate feeling. ”

As he spoke, Dongfang Ming sighed.

"But as a member of Kushtar, we have to deal with these sandworms. The old man's father was a fighter in the city back then. Whenever the tide of sandworms comes, he will take the lead in front of the city gate, using his flesh and blood to block the attacks of waves of sandworms, creating enough output space for the controllers behind him. Every time he withdrew from the front line, the wounds and blood stains on his body really frightened the old man. ”

It seemed that he thought of some not-so-good memories, and Dongfang Ming's expression darkened.

"Later, when my father was resisting the tide of sandworms, he unfortunately encountered a mutated sandworm and was seriously injured under the attack of this sandworm. When his companions had brought him back from the front and bandaged him a little, he got up again and wanted to stand on the front line again. At that time, the old man was still young and was very afraid of losing his father, so he held his leg and refused to let him go. But in the end he went. Before leaving, he also told the old man that he was a fighter and that he had to use his body to block the opponent's attacks for his companions behind him. If these fighters all retreat, then how can this sand worm tide be stopped? If Kushta City can't stop this sand worm tide, then what will the people of the Central Plains behind Bailu Mountain do?"

Fang Yue swallowed her saliva and asked hesitantly, "That Ling Zun ......"

"That's right, that time he never came back. Dongfang Ming nodded, "From that moment on, the old man decided. Since there are always people who want to rush to the front, why can't it be the old man? The old man asked himself that he is a scholar, but isn't it those four sentences that a scholar pursues all his life?"

"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations. ”

Fang Yue suddenly spoke, and together with Dongfang Ming, she said the four sentences of this enduring Hengqu.

Dongfang Ming looked at Fang Yue with a smile: "It seems that Xiaoyou also understands what the old man means." What the old man wants all his life is to implement these four sentences one by one. Now it seems that I dare not say that it has been completely done. But at least, the old man has also kept peace for the people of the Central Plains for decades. For this world, many outstanding juniors have been taught. Thinking about it this way, the old man has no regrets. ”

When Fang Yue heard this, her heart was a little surging.

The old man in front of him, who is five big and three thick, has such a delicate and great heart. This was something that Fang Yue didn't expect at all at first.

"Little friend, the old man has indeed heard a lot of rumors about you. Dongfang Ming spoke again, "But what the old man is more interested in is actually the content of your classes on weekdays that came from Liang Zheng." ”

Fang Yue was stunned when she heard this, this Dongfang Ming still knew that these things couldn't be done?

Seeing Fang Yue's reaction, Dongfang Ming couldn't help laughing.

"Hehehe, you don't have to be nervous. When the old man was young, he and Liang Zheng guarded this Kushta city together, and the relationship was naturally okay. This old man doesn't know what the reason is, he has always been very attentive to you, and he has told the old man a lot about you. In my husband's opinion, your teaching methods and the stories you tell in class should never be made up by yourself. Therefore, the old man is also thinking, Xiaoyou, you should also be a scholar, right?"

Fang Yue was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"I guess so. ”
