Hey, Pak! They say you'll get married soon.
Yes! As soon as we have gathered the harvest, we will celebrate the marriage!
Gathered... But what if the dragon comes again to burn the harvest?
Will the dragon indeed come again?
Let's run, Pak!
Pak! You can't beat the dragon with just a stone!
Every year the dragon burns our fields! Flee! We need to get away from here!
No! This is our land.
We don't need to flee, we need to battle the dragon!
Battle to the death!
Pak! Pak!
I will return, Lu Si!
Tell me, cliffs,
Reply to me, mountains,
How can I defeat the dragon?
Come this way, brave man.
Many have wanted to defeat the dragon,
Yet he turned them all to stone.
Be careful, young man,
or you will face the same fate!
Better to be a stone than a coward!
Quiet!
Come closer, and listen.
No one, except an old wise man, knows how to defeat the dragon.
Show me the way to this old wise man!
Far away, behind the mountains, in a valley lives the poor Lu San!
They say he tried to get to the old wise man.
Let him show you the way.
And now...
...go quickly!
...and so, Pak started on a long journey...
Don't wait on him. He won't return.
No. He will return!
Oh, honorable Lu San, please help me!
Show me how to get to the old wise man.
You can not get to the old wise man.
He lives on an island, behind a stormy sea,
and the sea lies behind tall cliffs.
The only way to cross them is a narrow gorge.
In it wanders a tiger with green eyes who lets no one pass.
Leave this mad undertaking, and go back home!
No! I would rather die!
Go, then. You are courageous and persistent.
Behind this forest lies the way to the old man.
Make sure you go straight ahead and don't turn off anywhere!
If you reach the old man, ask him: what should I do with this apple tree?
It's barren...
I'll ask him, Lu San, I'll ask him!
- Here, take some tobacco for the road! - Thanks.
Don't forget to ask about the apple tree!
Gesundheit!
Receive my spear!
No! He will return! He'll return!
Listen, raven - you fly great distances, have you seen the stormy sea?
Don't laugh raven. I stayed true to the path. I did not turn off anywhere!
You laugh too soon, raven! I will keep going straight!
Goodbye, raven! I found the stormy sea!
- Tell me, grandfather... - I know why you came here.
- I'm looking for the old wise man! - You've found the one you were looking for...
Help me, old wise man.
Please reveal to me how to defeat the dragon.
Listen, young man,
You need to know two secrets to defeat it.
The first secret is in the emerald.
In it lies all the strength of the dragon.
If you obtain the emerald, the dragon will perish.
And the second secret?
The second secret you must discover yourself.
Go now! Hurry!
What else do have you in your heart? Tell me.
I'd like help a poor man. His apple tree has become barren.
Leaves do not grow, when roots can not grow...
Young man...
an easy path will only open for him who has walked the path of hardship.
Here it is, the second secret.
Lu San!
Look!
This is no ordinary apple, Pak.
It will give you heroic strength!
Pak! Pak!
Farewell, Lu Si.
If I return, we will celebrate a most festive marriage.
If I don't return, then let them speak well of me!
Come out to fight!
Look behind you, Pak!
