Ghost dragon of cold mountain (Hon Saan Chim Lung / Han Shan Qian Long / 寒山潛龍 / 寒山潜龙)

Kwai-cheung worked undercover in Jin.

He found out that someone in Song was leaking national secrets.

Unfortunately the letters have disappeared.

I didn't mind you being a bodyguard.

I ignored my parents' objection and tried to elope with you.

I was wrong to have left you at the pier.

You have every right to be angry.

Someone died at Fa Yim Lau.

I'm sending Tai-lik and Yeung Mau.

Forgot to bring money? Forgot?

That is such a poor excuse!

Go away!

Go!

Boss, do you have any old acquaintances?

I wish to talk to whoever is in charge!

Tai-gan!

The chamber is...very comfortable!

Please go upstairs...

Who's looking for me?

Over here!

You must be looking for a job!

You can't work here just because you want to.

Tai-gan, right?

I'm Ngau Heng. People call me Blind Heng.

My young mistress Miss Yin-yu

is a famous courtesan in Hangzhou's Lai Mo Bin.

She'd like to work for Fa Yim Lau,

and help bring in more business.

Miss Yin-yu is pretty and charming.

Men will die for her while women...

Enough! We're not hiring!

No! Listen to me...

Let go of me!

Listen to me... Let go!

See? The sound alone tells you she's amazing!

When Miss Yin-yu is performing,

she'll do 2 somersaults as well.

Along with my erhu,

I guarantee we'll bring down the house.

Street acrobatics have no aesthetic value.

If I need kung fu, I'd get a martial artist.

I'm a good judge of character.

She's too thin and nothing to look at.

Snob!

And that voice! No thanks.

Listen, she has an ultimate weapon.

You might have seen the whip,

but nothing like Miss Yin-yu's whip.

Even a tiger will go limp at its sound.

Ha-lin can do the same.

Tai-gan!

What is it?

Master Chow won't budge!

I'm too embarrassed to show my face!

What a pain!

Don't worry, Tai-gan! Listen to me...

Miss Yin-yu can have any men wrapped around her fingers.

You'll be in awe once you experience that.

Fine! We'll see what she can do!

If you can get him into bed...

Into bed?

Let him finish!

We'll talk about the terms if she can do it.

Very well!

Miss Yin-yu is here to serve you, Masters!

I'll play a song for you.

Masters, would you like a game to see who is to drink first?

Let's have a drink then.

Do you know the difference between water and wine?

Water makes you cold,

while wine makes you warm.

A girl who can drink

can make you feel warm even in the bitter cold.

Why don't I...

No, don't mind me.

You'll get 10 taels for making him laugh;

100 taels if you get him in bed.

Master Chow, you look so sad.

Did someone die in your family?

His mother just passed away.

That's just nature taking its course.

You have such long eyebrows.

You must have 5 or 6 brothers.

His brothers all died in an avalanche.

Even the dog he had had for over 10 years was killed and eaten by someone.

That's really bad luck!

Master Chow...Are you alright?

I want to die!

Some deaths are weightier than others...

Heaven took your family

only because it has a huge responsibility planned for you.

How can you say you want to die?

Shut up and stop crying like a woman.

What are you doing in a brothel during a national crisis?

Someone weak like you is better off dead!

Fine! I'll kill myself!

Master Chow, don't be so sad!

Please sit down! You should go!

Let's go!

What's wrong?

Killing someone is much easier.

Tai-gan must be playing us for fools.

He set us up with that loser.

Bravo!

No way! Not even if you pay me!

Get out. Let me get on with my business.

Tai-gan, Ha-lin is not back yet!

What should we do?

She's supposed to be back today!

Maybe she's held up along the way.

She's up next to perform.

Calm down! Listen to me...

What do you know? Mind your own business!

I know a lot!

I told you Miss Yin-yu is great with the whip.

Come...tell them yourself!

Tai-gan, let me handle this!

Men will go crazy when they see my whip.

They'll be ecstatic.

Go change!

Let's go upstairs!

Upstairs? What am I to do?

Let me give you a test!

Make sure you don't hit me!

Don't look so scared. You're blind.

Who says the blind won't get scared?

Just make sure you don't hit me!

Are you alright?

Bravo!

Look what you have done!

You volunteered, I didn't make you.

I'm holding you responsible for ruining my reputation.

What kind of reputation does a thief have?

Come here!

I don't need your help!

Let me help you.

Go away! I don't need your help!

Hold still!

You're quite good at this!

I'm not making fun of you.

We're lucky we got in today.

But you're too heroic.

We'll be kicked out soon enough.

Do you know anything about men and women?

No, they didn't teach us at the Bureau.

Then I'll tell you.

A woman is like an egg,

hard on the outside, soft on the inside.

Men are like egg yolk.

They're yellow inside and out.

In a brothel, what breaks a patron's heart

is that he can give a courtesan everything,

but she won't go to bed with him.

What breaks a courtesan's heart is that

she may give the patron everything

but he only wants to go to bed with someone else.

You seem to talk from experience.

You know quite a bit about men and women.

Tell me how I can kill men with my eyes.

Treat all men like your boyfriend.

Make them want to keep coming back.

Talk to them like you're scratching an itch. Be flighty.

How?

Like you have had internal injuries.

Close your eyes. Try it on me!

Like the difference between water and wine?

Water makes you cold, wine makes you warm.

Water makes you cold, wine makes you warm.

Oh my!

Well? How did I do?

Good! You're really quite amazing,

and a quick learner too.

Let me wait on you.

No thanks!

I hear brothels are full of traps.

Let's go check it out.

Sir, I would like to marry you...

Leave me alone!

Don't be shy!

Hey...

Let me wait on you!

Stop it! Or I'll hit you!

Come on... No!

Here I come...

No!

A trap!

A secret passage!

Go check it out!

A maid died and she was gone for 3 days.

If her parents died, she's not coming back.

Ha-lin was nice enough to bring Sau-kuk's family the bad news.

Right. She's not out for fun.

She should be back tomorrow.

I'm afraid she's running off with the money!

I paid her in advance.

Ha-lin is honest. She'll be back soon.

Oh dear!

A rat!

What are you doing in the backyard?

What are you doing, blind man?
