The Ban Dun Man, a people forgotten by the history books, and the legend of how the Cong people helped Qin sweep across the Six Kingdoms with blind men wielding shields!
[Blind from the start, but I can hear the heartbeat of all Qin]
During the reign of King Huiwen of Qin, at the foot of Mount Shenlong in Guang'an, the young Cong Ge blinded himself to save his people and awakened the power of Earth Hearing. He could hear heartbeats three hundred paces away and predict his enemies' next moves. Using the stone marrow of Mount Huaying, he crafted a repeating crossbow that pierced three layers of armor from three hundred paces, and killed a white tiger despite being blind.
[Not a transmigrator, but a blind god of war who can foresee the future]
From scaling sheer cliffs along the Micang Trail to protecting the young Ying Zheng amid the mountain of corpses at Changping; from breaking the joint Han-Wei encampment at Yique with sound waves to blocking Jing Ke's dagger with a shield wall at the Yi River. He could not see the realm, yet he made the realm see the glory of the Ban Dun.
[The Ban Dun shielded not the King of Qin, but China]
He helped Ying Zheng conquer the Six Kingdoms and protected the orphaned survivors of the Sand Dune Incident. In the early Han dynasty, he was enshrined on the Gatekeeper Mountain. As the thousand-catty gate fell, he and his beloved became stone-marow statues side by side, leaving behind a blood oath: "Strike the shield three times, and we will meet again in two thousand years."
Now, that bloodstained shield marked with a white tiger and stars awaits its next blind bearer...
