As soon as noon passes, the sun is not so intense, the climate in the mountains has always been like this, no matter what time of year it will not be so hot, even in the hottest dog days of the year, morning and evening, there is still a little cool.

The people who live here know the habits of this place, and they always have a way to make things look not so bad.

Of course, these are only for those mortals, and there is such a problem for cultivators, who have long been integrated into nature, and no matter what the situation is, it is the same for them.

The mountain has not been peaceful since the morning, not only in the mountains, but also outside the mountains, in fact, not only that, things here are never a certain person or even a certain type of people.

The entire Three Realms and Six Realms, demons and monsters, whether they have names or no names, are actively or passively involved, and in general, things here have not really begun, and the situation here has spread to all places in heaven and earth.

Since noon, all they care about is the affairs here, and they are talking about the affairs here, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are all involved.

Those who know know know that the development of the events in Taishan is closely related to their lives, no matter which side wins, they all have to follow some changes, their minds are different, and what they hope to happen will be different.

In any case, there is a big difference between the matter of Dushan and Renji Village, and as for why this result occurred, there are many reasons, and these are no longer things they care about.

No matter how much those creatures care about the results here, they don't dare to come here without a certain amount of cultivation, all they can do is watch from afar, discussing without a head, and after all, there are only a few people who can come here.

Saying this doesn't mean that they won't come here, once Heavenly Court fails, many creatures in the darkness will suddenly appear here, after all, no one wants to miss a good thing.

In the consciousness of most of them, the war in Pishan has nothing to do with Yu Yuanwu, they don't know who Lu Yuanwu is, and all they know is Heavenly Court, which is why they didn't start the war.

They are waiting and seeing, if the Heavenly Court wins, they will not come out, so there will be no loss, they are still living their old life, although they are not very satisfied, in the end they can still live well, so there is nothing bad.

Once Heavenly Court fails, they will swarm out, and then the continuation of the entire heaven and earth will undergo fundamental changes, and a catastrophe in the world is inevitable, and those who are opposed to Heavenly Court are waiting for such an opportunity.

The situation outside the mountain, there is no need to say anything, after all, what happens outside depends on the situation in the mountain, and the situation here has never been optimistic for Yu Yuanwu and them, especially when they say that they want to ask for support, their situation is even more difficult.

No matter what kind of thoughts they have, what should be done still has to be done, at least at this moment, after doing all the actions, he returned to the place where he was sitting, Shuangtu looked at him and said: "I can't imagine that my brother has lost only so many years, and he still has such a ability, although I don't know who the person my brother invited, but it must not be a simple task." ”

Fan Hehe smiled and said, "What my brother said is not very right. ”

Shuangtu sighed and asked, "How do you say this, is there something wrong with me, or is there some other reason?" ”

Shuangtu looked at Fan as he spoke, and the teacup in his hand was put down, and Fan said: "Saying that my brother is wrong is because the people I want to invite have nothing to do with my situation, and they are indeed not simple characters, and my brother doesn't know now, even if they come, they shouldn't know." ”

Shuangtu laughed, picked up the teacup he put down again, and said: "Brother is a little underestimated when he says this, although I am not a great person, I still know a little about the capable people in the world, as long as his cultivation is high enough, he should know." ”

Shuangtu said that he took a sip of tea, and it could be seen from his tone that Shuangtu should be serious, and he himself didn't quite know why it was like this, so he did such a thing unconsciously.

Fan glanced at Shuangtu and said: "Brother is really too humble to say this, he can find me under such a seal, there are really few people in the world who can do this, but the people I want to invite have not really appeared in this world, or they are really ordinary." ”

Shuangtu looked at Fan and smiled and didn't say anything, Shuangtu had his own considerations in his heart, theoretically he should understand what Fan meant, and whoever wanted to invite must not be an ordinary character.

Whatever is said should be that they look very ordinary, this is not a strange thing, there are always many cultivators who have a very high cultivation, but they are very low-key, and everything that is said should mean this.

Fan continued: "They are some of my friends, and we don't have anything else to do together, just to discuss problems. This can be regarded as a further explanation of Shuangtu.

It's just that in the eyes of Shuangtu, it is not of much use, and it can't solve the actual problem, when you say this, Shuangtu has a lot of doubts, and Shuangtu knows very well in his heart that Fan has been trapped for so many years.

In the years since he lost his freedom, many things have changed a lot in the world, and many people have also changed, so there will be many problems.

For example, even if you can be sure of such a thing, I don't know if they have undergone some changes, in short, there are too many questions that are uncertain, and it is really hard to say what the consequences will be.

This is Shuangtu's thought in his heart, he controls himself not to think about such a thing, everything here has been handed over to Fan, since there is such a plan, it can't be involved too much.

There may be some mistakes in a person's idea, but if two people make a decision without discussion, there will definitely be no good result, and besides, there is no meaning to explain what Tingfan means, even if he really asks, he may not be able to have a good result.

Shuangtu smiled slightly and took a sip of tea, the tea is always good, but if you drink too much, it will not become so fragrant, Shuangtu doesn't know how much tea he has drunk, he looked at Yu Yuan without them, their expressions are always not very good.

This is also a natural thing, no matter who encounters such a thing, it is inevitable that they will have some thoughts in their hearts, and Shuangtu has a feeling that no matter what kind of situation they are in, they will not give up.

This feeling is so strong, this is not the result of any analysis, this is the most real thing, Yu Yuanwu has always been in the midst of contradictions, this is what they have to face.

Fortunately, they are always very good at adjusting their emotions, knowing what kind of things to do under what circumstances, after a short discussion, Yu Yuan has no decision, their plans cannot be adjusted for the time being, and they will not make corresponding actions until they have taken action.

No matter what time it is, waiting is a very painful thing, and they are no exception, in fact, their pain is much greater than they imagined, and there is nothing strange about it in such a situation.

Fortunately, they can always solve such problems very well, and it is easy to break such an atmosphere, which is certain, and the reason is also very simple, one of them has a hybrid.

Yan Yan has returned to his original appearance, he can't stand such an atmosphere, Yan Yan sighed and said: "The matter has come to this, there is no need for this, fortunately, there is no way to solve everything." ”

When Yu Yan said this, it was completely a sad emotion, if you didn't know his character, it would be easy to be infected by him, but fortunately, they all knew him and knew what he meant, the more he was like this, the more they would feel nothing, this is the charm of Yu Yan.

Yu Yan laughed when he said it, and they all laughed, and Lu Mu looked at Yu Yan and said, "That's right, it's useless anyway, so there's no need to do anything else, this, that's what it is." ”

Lu Mu didn't know what he was going to say, and what he said was not very complete, and it didn't have any impact, as long as they understood it, it was okay, saying that it was like this, and such a thing could not be ignored.

Lu Mu looked at Lu Yuan Wudao: "Master, if we want to win now, how sure are we." When Lu Mu said this, the atmosphere that could not be eased was lost again.

Yu Yuanwu looked at Yu Mu, his brows furrowed slightly, Yu Yuanwu knew very well, Lu Mu didn't understand the atmosphere, he wouldn't say such a thing, he must have his own reason for saying this, Yu Yuanwu said: "According to the current situation, it is almost impossible." ”

Yu Yuanwu looked at Lu Mu after saying it, he knew that he must have something to say, not only Lu Yuanwu, but everyone else also looked at Lu Mu, and they all knew that he must have something to say.

Lu Mu's brows also frowned and said: "I don't think things are more than that, I don't know if you believe it or not, I always have a feeling that things here are not so easy to develop according to the current situation, maybe there will be a turnaround." ”

As soon as Lu Mu finished speaking, Lu Yan pulled him and said: "I knew what method you should have, you didn't say anything, I thought your emotions hadn't come back yet, it stands to reason that it shouldn't be like this, Lu Jin has nothing to do." ”

Lu Mu looked at Lu Yan and smiled slightly, and said to Yu Yuanwu: "Although this is just my feeling, it should be possible, according to the general situation, there is nothing wrong with saying that we want to feel pain, but the price of his doing this is inevitably too great, he can kill us immediately, but he didn't do it." ”

The others didn't quite understand what Lu Mu meant, and Yu Yuan Wu began to feel something in his heart, he looked at Lu Mu and said, "What do you mean?"

Lu Mu said: "We often think about the cause to the effect, there is nothing wrong with thinking this way, in the current situation, we instinctively think that our result will not end well, the reason is that Fan's cultivation is too high, we are not his opponent." ”

Yu Yan and they were fascinated by what they heard, but they didn't quite know what Lu Mu wanted to express, Lu Mu continued: "This result is always what we think, not to mention whether it is true or not, even if it is true, the cause of this result seems to be too unnecessary, everything is done is superfluous, everything is doomed, if we are not like this, but the opposite of this, then look at this reason will be much more reasonable, at least more reasonable than the first one." ”

Yu Yuanwu has already roughly understood something, and he hasn't thought about the reason that Lu Mu said, but in his opinion, this is somewhat unlikely.

What's more, such an idea is more of a vague concept in his mind, and now listening to Lu Mu's detailed analysis, maybe it really is.

Yu Mu continued: "What I mean is that if all this is done if he kills us as soon as he comes out, it will be much better, and it is not impossible to say that it is a fundamental change, and this is an opportunity for us. ”

The wonderful thing about language is that it can express one's true thoughts very well, and bring these thoughts to another person, and the other person will understand their thoughts very well.

There's nothing wrong with saying this, and in most cases it's possible to do this, but unfortunately language isn't the mind after all, it's just a rough way to express the simple, and when it comes to complexity, it's a little powerless.

Not only that, if you want to convey one person's ideas to another person's heart, there are many links in the middle, and each link has a certain impact, no matter how small the impact is, the final result will always be a little biased.

In this way, the other person will not be able to fully understand what he means, and in general, Lu Mu did not express clearly what he was about to say, in fact, he himself was not very clear.

The only thing that is clear is that he feels that things here are not so simple, and they may not really have such irreversible results, if that is the case, there is nothing to worry about.

Lu Mu didn't really know it in his heart, what he thought didn't really understand until a long time later, some things were destined from the beginning, although there was nothing wrong with saying this.

It's just that all things are inextricably linked, including man-made power, even if it is small, it can still play a great role in the end.

That is to say, the reason why there will be such a result in the end is inseparable from their own efforts and practices, which is the most basic thing.

The tacit understanding between them is very sufficient, and some words are very clear even if they don't say them, but they are not clear about themselves, and others don't have any good feelings.

It's a pity that they don't have much chance to think about such a thing, Fan stood up and walked towards them again, Fan's expression was still very excited this time, he looked at Yu Yuan Wudao with a smile: "Have you discussed any new results again, I don't know if this time is useless." ”

Yu Yuan Wudao: "Nature is useful, you can always get a good way to discuss, how can you know if you don't try?"

Fan looked at Yu Yuan Wudao: "It seems that you have returned to your original appearance, which is very good, otherwise there will be no fun, you are very good." ”

Yu Yuanwu smiled slightly: "I think it's good that we're like this, but I don't know if it will disappoint you, if that's the case, I don't know what the point of these things you do." ”

Fan looked at Yu Yuanwu and laughed and said: "It's good that you have confidence, if you don't know your strength, it's not good, no matter what method you have, the final result will not change, this is a certain thing." ”

Yu Yuan Wudao: "Nothing is a certain thing, everything is changing, I advise you not to do this, otherwise you will be disappointed." ”

Fan sighed, then laughed twice and said: "This seems to be different from your statement, according to your statement, evil is invincible, it may not be true, and what you do may not necessarily be good." ”

Yu Yuan was stunned, didn't say anything more, it was still that thing, language is very useful, but in some special cases, he can't express his true thoughts.

On the surface, what Fan said is very reasonable, at least there is no way to refute it, after all, the method used by Fan Yuan is his own theory, if Yu Yuanwu refutes it, it means that his previous words are wrong, which is not a good thing.

At that moment, Yu Yuanwu really had nothing to say, and soon understood that he had undoubtedly made a big mistake, and the changes that Yu Yuanwu said were not only for people, but also for all living things, and they were all in the midst of endless changes.

There are two sides to everything, and they are always changing, the only difference is that the two sides are always changing, sometimes they are like that, sometimes they are like this, and there is nothing wrong with that.

In other words, not all good people will always be good people, and not all bad people will necessarily be bad people, and with the passage of time, good people may become bad, and bad people may become good.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, the so-called good people and bad people may not really be right, the reason why I say this is more with the help of a specific thing, what is in line with the way of heaven is good, and what is not in line with the way of heaven is bad.

It's a pity that almost all of them rely on the Heavenly Dao, and more of them are the Heavenly Dao in their own hearts, they have never really understood the Heavenly Dao, and what they think of the Heavenly Dao may not be true.

Their code of doing things is just that most people do it, and that's it, it's not a fixed thing in itself, and there's nothing fixed about it, that's the basics.

Yu Yuanwu can refute these questions, he didn't do this, the truth will be effective only for those who understand, and it is useless to say anything to those who don't understand.

Looking at Yu Yuanwu's expression, Fan was still very happy, in his opinion, he had defeated Yu Yuanwu again, at least on the surface, this sense of accomplishment was theoretically unnecessary, and Fan still had some feelings in his heart when it really happened.

Whoever wants to take advantage of this opportunity to deal another blow to Lu Yuanwu and them, this is not a temporary decision for him, he has already had such a plan from the moment he wants to debate.

Fan looked up at the sky and said: "There is still some time, I still want to tell you about the rules first, but before I talk about it, I still have to ask, do you have any questions, if you have any questions, you can say it now, if you don't say it, maybe there will be no chance." ”

Whether they want to or not, things here are to be accepted, and from this point of view, they really hope that the rules will start soon, this is what they care about.

This is a subconscious thought of them, and when it really happens, they are still a little excited in their hearts, and the reason is very simple, they never understand why there is such a problem.

There is nothing dangerous about the so-called debate, and it is obviously very unreasonable to say so, and it is a certain thing that all the things that are ostensibly unreasonable must hide in them an unseemly conspiracy.

It is precisely because of this thought that they are inevitably a little excited in their hearts when they say it, I don't know if it is for this reason, when Fan said these words, Yu Yan suddenly said: "You better wait for a while, or wait for your support to come, now I have to say it again." ”

Fan smiled and said: "It seems that you are really nosy, you have reached such a situation and still care about others, this is not something you worry about, they understand it or not." ”

After saying that, Fan paused and asked: "It seems that there should be no problem, in this case, I will tell you what this rule is, if there is anything you want to say, you can say it at any time, we still have plenty of time." ”

Then Fan said his so-called rules, if you look at one of them alone, all the so-called rules are very fair, and if they lose, they should be punished, and all his side will be punished in the same way.

On the surface, there is nothing wrong with this, but if you think about it carefully, you will understand that this is completely unfair, although you will be punished if you lose, but your cultivation is different from that of those who support people.

In such a situation, it is difficult for them not to lose, if they keep losing, they will only be punished in the end, such a problem is understood by them.

It's a pity that they can't say anything, it's been like this from the beginning, and there's nothing left, and it's not just these that they care about, what they care about is the content of the punishment.

Whoever said very clearly that if he failed in the middle of the way, he would choose a person to be banished to this mountain, either to be killed or punished, or simply to be banished to this mountain.

If you look at it under normal circumstances, this is completely unnecessary, this is not a punishment at all, they are all cultivators, not to mention that there is no problem in this mountain, even anywhere.

And if you do this, it may not really have an effect, they are all alive, they are all moving, they will not stay honest in the mountains, and everything they do is the same.

This is according to the general situation, but it is very clear that whoever does not make such a low-level mistake must have his purpose in doing so, and this purpose must not be simple, and the place that he does not understand is naturally to ask, and asking this question is a curse.

As soon as Fan said this, Yan Yan said, "It's just a simple banishment, or is it the banishment as I understand it, not necessarily the banishment you say?"

Fan Dao: "You understand what exile means, so you can say it." ”

Yan Yan was stunned for a moment and said: "It is exile, the simplest exile, exile without any other conditions, it is the meaning of exile." ”

The so-called explanation is to use a word or language to say the same thing, the purpose of which is to make other people understand better, and it is clear that Yan did not do this.

If you think about it carefully, this practice of Yu Yan is undoubtedly the best, it is useless to explain it clearly, banishment is just banishment, what Yu Yan cares about is whether it is banishment or something else.

Yan Yan asked, if there is no other way to do anything else, what he wants to explain is the exile itself, Fan Dao: "Then this kind of words are basically the same." ”

Fan's words have a great effect, and Yu Yuan was shocked in their hearts without their instincts, if they said so, it was naturally not a simple banishment, there must be some other reason for this.

This is also what Yu Yuanwu and them are most worried about, that is to say, things here must not be as simple as they think, Yu Yan's feeling is the same, he hurriedly asked: "You better make it clear, anyway, there is nothing to change, and if you want to die, you will die clearly." ”

There is nothing pessimistic about Yan Yan when he says this, this is just his habit, he says what they want to know most, and after he says it, everyone else looks at Fan.

Fan was very satisfied with their expressions, and smiled slightly: "You guys are really strange, you all think differently at all times, but it's no wonder that you, after all, this is not something that everyone can bear." ”

Then Fan said what the meaning of his so-called exile is, just as Yu Yuan has no man they think, everything here is not so simple, according to Fan, they will not be in any danger, at least for a short time, it does not mean that it has always been like this.

Whoever means that if he loses, he will put him somewhere in the mountains, and naturally he will not do nothing and put them there, if that is the case, there will be no danger.

All that is to be done is to make them unconscious for an hour, and for that hour they are almost unconscious, and it is right to say that they are dead, and the conditions are the same on both sides.

If it was just like this, there would be no danger, they were all cultivators, and even those snakes, insects, and plagues in a coma would not dare to provoke them, which means that if they were not attacked by the same cultivators, they would not be in any danger.

That's what they're worried about, when they first came in, they could clearly feel that the aura in the mountains was very complicated, and the power it exuded was huge.

Although they didn't feel it after they got here, they knew very well that the situation in the mountains was very complicated, and it was probably related to it.

After thinking about it, it seems to make some sense, if anyone wants to kill them, there is no need to do these things, and it is done here, and it can be done openly.

That is to say, if anyone wants to kill them, he will have to pay for his life if he loses, and if he says so, there is nothing to say about them.

Since Whoever does not say this means that he does not want to kill them, and Whoever says it is very clear that whoever is going to be in a coma for an hour, that is to say, something else must happen in this hour, and whatever it is, it is much more useful than killing them, at least for Van.

There are many things that they don't understand, and Yan Yan looked at Yu Yuanwu and said with a smile: "It's really interesting for you to say this, but I don't know what the use of doing this is." ”

Fan smiled and said: "Nature is useful, and it is useful, and it will naturally understand when the time comes, and it doesn't make sense to say it now, so there is no need to say it." ”

Yan Yan smiled a little embarrassedly, the purpose of his question is very simple, that is, to understand why he did this, if he doesn't say it, it means that he should have some purpose, Yan Yan thought for a while and said: "If we lose, we will do this, if you lose, will you do the same?"

Fan Dao: "This is natural, from the beginning of the moment, everything on both sides is the same, what kind of fate you will have, we are also here, there is no doubt about this." ”

Yu Yan smiled and said: "Naturally, there is nothing to doubt when you say this, but there is one thing I don't understand, how can you be sure that you will be able to be in a coma for an hour, this does not seem to be an easy thing." ”

Fan Dao: "You can rest assured about this, I will definitely use my ability to do this, and there is no need to doubt it." ”

Yu Yuan said: "If we want to win this battle, you will also fulfill your promise." ”

Fan was stunned for a moment, looked at Yu Yuanwu, and then laughed, and said: "This is natural, in fact, if I don't do this, you don't have any way, if you don't do it, will you also do these things now, you don't seem to have any other way." ”

Fan's question was so lightly asked, but for Yu Yuanwu, he was speechless, what Fan said was not impossible, and he had the ability to do so.

And in the end, if Yu Yuanwu and them win, he would definitely do it, there was no need for him to abide by the so-called agreement, and he would not do it, this is what Yu Yuanwu and they all understood, at least in the hearts of all of them.

That is to say, they should not have any surprises when they say this, or they should be prepared for it, even so, when they really realize that this is going to be the case, they still have a lot of thoughts in their hearts.

If the final result must be like this, then is there really any need for them to do such a thing, all their efforts will not change the final thing, all the ways and means are not ordinary words, this is the truth, a most basic thing.

Whether they want to accept it or not, this is the case, and this idea of Yu Yuanwu is one step ahead, which means that if this result really happens, it must be when they will win, and the truth is that they may not be able to achieve this step.

Soon, Fan told them this fact, Fan looked at Yu Yuanwu and smiled: "Do you really think that you can achieve the final victory, are you so sure?"

This sentence hit them again, this is the most basic question, can they win this battle, this is not an unknown, it depends on mortal.

They all understand what is the root of Yu Jin's victory, if it is not for their victory, they may not really have such an end, the reality is like this, no matter what you think, it may not develop according to what you think, "What is the final debate?"

This is what Lu Mu asked, where he just said the rules, and did not say the specific method, this is the most critical, understand this point will make corresponding measures, Fan looked at Lu Mu and said: "I thought you didn't ask such a question, this is what you should be most concerned about, isn't it, the other ideas are closely related to this, isn't it?"

Fan said and smiled at Yu Yuanwu, Fan's smile was still very flat, if he didn't know his identity, he would definitely not think that he was a heinous person, his smile was very warm, at least at the moment, this is what all of them think.

Fan didn't tell them what they wanted to know after laughing, Fan said: "This is the most important question, naturally we should save it until the most critical moment, and it's not too late to talk about it when it really starts." ”

Saying that, he looked up at the sky again, then turned around and returned to the original place, Yu Yuanwu looked at Fan's back, this is not known how many times they have looked at Fan's back.

Yu Yuanwu and they understood what Fan meant at the beginning, and he was waiting for his so-called support to talk about these things when they arrived, and Yu Yuanwu didn't know what Fan's purpose was, the old problems were finally solved, and new problems were immediately generated.

No matter what, they still have to make some preparations, even if they know that it is not too useful, they still have to do this, Yun Zhongfei said: "Now our problems have not decreased, relatively increased a lot, what should we do now?"

Yun Zhongfei looked at Yu Yuanwu and said, Yu Yuanwu was stunned for a moment and said: "According to him, this is not an absolutely safe thing, and the people involved also have to face danger, so they should be considered." ”

Yun Zhongfei nodded, at this moment they fell into a state of confusion again, it turned out that they felt that there would be no danger in the debate, so they decided to let the lowest cultivation Yu Ye and the snake spirit brothers participate, this is the best result.

That doesn't seem to be the case now.

Although they did not know what would happen in an hour, there was no doubt that there were many dangerous places in it, and they would not do that if they put their companions in danger, they also knew in their hearts that the distribution of this scene was not only about getting to this one, but also about the next.

If they invest too many people this time, the next one will undoubtedly be very dangerous, if they don't invest so many people, this one will be dangerous, in short, combined with all things, they can't make the most choice very well.

Yun Zhongfei also has a plan in his heart, according to his meaning, the original plan will not make any changes, no matter how time to participate in this scene, there will still be no direct danger, and the process of the duel and the level of cultivation should not have much to do with it, so it is the best result to let Yu Ye and them participate.

This kind of thing still has to be done by Yun Zhongfei himself, he looked at Yu Yuan Wu and said, "I think we still follow the original method, this is the best decision, although there are some dangerous things in it, but there is no better way." ”

Yu Yuanwu looked at Yun Zhongfei, and then looked at Yu Ye and them, Yu Yuanwu thought the same thing in his heart, this is the best result, but if he does this, his situation will be more dangerous than when he first started.

He also knows in his heart that if he wants to solve the matter here, there must be danger, this is an unavoidable thing, their fate is tied together, one is lost, one is prosperous, no one will have any special circumstances, so there is no concern.

The idea is so good, if you really want to do it, you will inevitably have a lot of concerns, and it is the first time they have come out, whether it is as a cultivator or a villager of the Rui Village, this is not something they should bear.

Their lives are still very good, they still have a lot to do, if there is an accident here, Yu Yuanwu always feels guilty.

The hard part of things is that no matter what you do, you have to sacrifice something, and many of these things are something you can't afford, but you have to do it.

Yun Zhongfei frowned slightly, he made up his mind, he looked at Yu Ye and them, and before he could speak, he said: "Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi decided like this, we are here to help, and we can also help this time, since this is the case, we naturally have to contribute, there is no need to worry, this is our mission." ”

Yun Zhongfei was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "This is what I think about too much, you are already qualified cultivators, since this is the case, there is no need to say anything, it is useless to say anything." ”

Yun Zhongfei said that he faced the snake spirit brothers and them, and before he could speak, he felt a heavy breath suddenly appear, Yun Zhongfei was startled, and hurriedly turned his head to see, there were a few more in the middle of the valley, and there was a little laughter at the same time.
