Yan Canglan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Since we are here, it is fate. Just accept it. I hope this jade pendant can bring you good luck."

The shepherd boy hesitated for a moment, but finally took the jade pendant and said gratefully: "Thank you, I will definitely cherish this jade pendant."

The sun gradually sank to the west, and the sunset glowed red on half the sky. Yan Canglan, Yan Shuqin and the shepherd boy sat on the hillside, chatting while looking at the beautiful scenery.

Yan Shuqin gently brushed the hem of her skirt and asked curiously, "Hey, little brother, do you come here to herd cattle every day? The scenery here is so beautiful, you must be enjoying it."

The shepherd boy nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, the scenery here is really beautiful. I come here every day, herding cattle while enjoying the beautiful sunset. Time flies, and it feels like a dream."

Yan Canglan smiled and interrupted: "The scenery here is indeed intoxicating. Shuqin, what do you think?"

Yan Shuqin blinked and replied, "Well, the scenery here reminds me of the garden at home, but it's more natural and more spacious. I think the scenery here has a unique charm."

The shepherd boy suddenly asked curiously, "You are from the city, right? You look very different. What does your family do?"

Yan Canglan smiled slightly and said, "We are from the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion. Our family is mainly responsible for defending the Western Wei Dynasty. My father is the Loyal and Brave Marquis, and he has been fighting outside for many years and has not returned."

The shepherd boy widened his eyes and said in surprise: "So you are from the Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion! I have heard of the Zhongyong Marquis. He is brave and good at fighting, and he has won every battle. Then you must be very powerful!"

Yan Shuqin smiled shyly and said, "Although we are from a marquisate, not everyone is as brave as my brother. I am more ordinary and I like poetry and songs."

Yan Canglan patted Yan Shuqin on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Although Shuqin is ordinary, her poetry and songs are unique. Many literati and scholars praise her talent."

The shepherd boy looked at Yan Shuqin with admiration and said, "I see. I must learn from you in the future."

At this time, a group of wild geese flew across the sky. Yan Shuqin pointed at them and said, "Look, those wild geese are arranged in such an orderly manner. They must have gone south for the winter."

Yan Canglan looked up at the wild geese and said with emotion: "Yes, the seasons change and the wild geese fly south. This is a natural law. We humans should also follow nature and cherish every beautiful moment."

The shepherd boy nodded and said, "I understand. Then let's enjoy this beautiful sunset here today and spend this wonderful moment together."

At this time, Yan Canglan suddenly remembered something and said to the shepherd boy: "Brother, do you know? In fact, we came to Luoxia Village this time for another very important matter."

The shepherd boy shook his head and asked curiously, "What is it?"

Yan Canglan smiled mysteriously and said, "This matter concerns the future of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion, and even the safety of the entire Western Wei."

The shepherd boy's eyes widened, his face full of surprise: "Ah? Such an important matter is actually related to me?"

Yan Canglan nodded and said seriously: "That's right, little brother, you are the key. We came to Luoxia Village this time to find something, and this thing is hidden in the stone cave behind your house."

The shepherd boy was even more surprised, and couldn't help but pinch the corner of his clothes nervously: "The stone cave in the mountain behind my home? But I have been playing there since I was a child, how come I didn't find anything special there?"

Yan Canglan patted the shepherd boy on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, this thing is hidden very deep, and it is indeed difficult for ordinary people to find it. However, we have clues, and I believe that as long as we find that cave, we can find the treasure."

At this time, Yan Shuqin came over and asked curiously: "Brother, what exactly is that treasure? Why is it so important?"

Yan Canglan smiled slightly, looked into his sister's eyes, and said slowly: "That treasure is called 'Qian Kun Mirror'. It is said to have been made by a divine craftsman in ancient times. It can see into people's hearts and predict the future. The fate of our Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion is in the hands of this mirror."

Yan Shuqin's eyes widened, her face filled with shock: "Qian Kun Mirror? There is such a magical thing?"

The shepherd boy was also listening intently and couldn't help but interrupt, "Then how do we know that the mirror is in the cave behind my house?"

Yan Canglan said: "This matter started when my father was young. At that time, he accidentally learned the whereabouts of the Qiankun Mirror, but due to various reasons, he had never been able to find it. Until recently, my father got the exact news from an old man, saying that the Qiankun Mirror was hidden in a stone cave in the back mountain of Luoxia Village."

After hearing this, the shepherd boy became more determined: "Let's go find it quickly! I'll take you there."

Yan Canglan nodded and looked at the shepherd boy gratefully: "Thank you for your help, little brother. However, this cave is hidden very deep. We need to be careful and not let anyone find it."

The shepherd boy patted his chest and said confidently: "Don't worry, I know every corner of that forest very well. I promise to take you to the cave."

The four of them came to the back mountain together and walked along a winding path. Along the way, Yan Canglan and Yan Shuqin kept asking the shepherd boy about the situation in the mountain, and the shepherd boy kept talking about the interesting things he had in the forest.

After walking for a while, the shepherd boy suddenly stopped and pointed to a cliff in front of him and said, "That's it. The cave is behind that cliff."

Yan Canglan and the others followed the shepherd boy and carefully came to the stone cave. The entrance of the cave was not big and was covered by dense vines. It was difficult to find it without careful observation.

Yan Canglan took out a dagger and carefully cut the vines, and the four of them went in together. The cave was dark and damp, and there was an ancient smell all around. They walked along the narrow passage and soon came to a spacious cave.

In the center of the cave, there is an antique box inlaid with various gems, sparkling with charming light.

Yan Canglan walked forward and carefully opened the box. Inside the box, there was a crystal clear mirror with the words "Qian Kun Mirror" engraved on the back of the mirror.

Yan Shuqin ran over excitedly, picked up the Qiankun Mirror, and exclaimed: "This mirror is so beautiful. I didn't expect that we really found it."

The shepherd boy smiled sheepishly and said, "I didn't expect that I could help you. But I'm curious, what's so magical about this mirror?"

Yan Canglan picked up the Qiankun Mirror, gently stroked the mirror surface, and said: "This mirror can see into people's hearts and predict the future. As long as we use our hearts to sense it, we can know everyone's inner thoughts and even predict their future destiny."

Yan Shuqin said excitedly: "Then let's go back quickly and tell mother the good news."
