Shi Feiyang had come to Baiyang Mountain to find the Mo Zhui brothers.
Beneath Baiyang Mountain, in the crisscrossing ravines and valleys, lived a tribe of little people.
These little people, with a height of just about two feet and resembling dwarfs, had all their features proportionally reduced, so they didn't look strange. They dashed through the mountains, like plant spirits come to life.
These people, descendants of the Wa Emperor, were indistinguishable from ordinary humans tens of thousands of years ago. After they began farming and entered the patriarchal era, they established vast territories. With governance, martial arts, rites, and education, they flourished.
But as time went on, customs declined, human kindness waned, selfishness prevailed, and minds narrowed. Their stature grew progressively smaller; not only the once-common nine-foot frame but even seven-footers became rarities.
