Zhou Ye fell in love with this place.

I like the mountains here, I like the clouds here, I like the sacredness and purity here.

I listened to the bursts of Sanskrit sounds, whispering, like the whispers of the Buddha in his ear.

It's peaceful.

Want to be one.

Zhou Ye felt that his heart was much calmer.

Full of indifference.

The murderous aura on his body is also constantly worn out on the pilgrimage road.

Back to basics.

Eventually dissipated completely.
