The moonlight is hazy. On the river surface outside Yueyang Tower, the night wind blows gently, causing ripples, rippling waves appearing under the moonlight. There are a trace of white mist rising on the river surface, hazy, like the gauze on the body of a goddess, with lights dotted on the river surface, which are fishing boats and fishing fires...

Eat the mountains and eat water. Yunmeng Daze River and lakes intersect. Most people living here make a living by fishing. Yueyang City is built on the water. Under the tower of Yueyang is the Linjiang Wharf, which is also a place for fishermen to gather. Fishing boats sing at night and lights are bright! Even at night, it seems very lively. On the river surface in the distance, fishing fires are like stars dotted on the river surface. They are some fishermen who fish at night, but they generally don’t go too far because fishing at night is very dangerous. There are people-eating monsters in the river water, which are especially frequent at night. Even if you fish at night, you will not go deep into the river, but you will only be in a certain space around the dock.

By the window, Ning Caichen drank and drank by himself, not hearing the noise and excitement around him, but just enjoying the moonlight and river view outside Yueyang Tower.

The moon is bright and the fishing fire is like stars. This picture is beautiful. Ning Caichen likes beautiful things and has a more love for the beautiful scenery. He feels that this will calm himself down and relax his whole body and mind. This is a very beautiful enjoyment, just like being completely immersed in his own world and not being disturbed by the outside world.

In fact, the third floor is very lively, with a glass of wine and music, and most of them are literati, either pushing cups and drinking, flattering each other, or showing off their literary talent. This seems to be a common problem for literati. When you get together, you always have to recite poems and essays and make friends with poetry. If people who don’t understand these rashly insert them, they will definitely not be welcomed!

It was bustling, and only Ning Caichen seemed a little abrupt. She sat quietly by the window, a little out of place with the bustle here, like a forgotten person. In fact, Ning Caichen, whom everyone here noticed, because Ning Caichen was really eye-catching, handsome, elegant, and elegant. Even if she sat there without making a sound, people would unconsciously notice that someone wanted to come over and say hello to Ning Caichen, because Ning Caichen's dress and temperament made them sure that Ning Caichen was not an ordinary person, and was mostly a son of a big family. However, when Ning Caichen drank and drank, he seemed to enjoy the tranquility of this moment, many people gave up their thoughts, fearing that they would disturb Ning Caichen's disgust.

"one!"

The night was getting darker and it was still very lively. Ning Caichen sat by the window, and no one came to disturb him. He spitted out two words, as if he was talking to himself or counting, but his voice was very light and no one noticed it.

"two!"

After a while, Ning Caichen spit out two more words and drank the wine in the glass, but his eyes were looking at a place on the river in the distance. At this time, if someone observes carefully and follows his gaze, he will find that the fishing fires on the river have extinguished two.

"Three, four...eight!"

Ning Caichen read a few numbers in a row. It was the farthest part of the river, and the fishing fires of several fishing boats were extinguished.

"Is this brother counting?"

Finally, someone noticed Ning Caichen, a man who was close to him, dressed in a blue Confucian shirt and dressed in a literary style. He looked in his twenties, with a pair of beautiful eyes, dark and bright eyes, and looked at Ning Caichen curiously. In fact, he noticed it from the beginning when Ning Caichen counted, but he didn't hear it clearly. Until Ning Caichen counted two, and then eight, he couldn't help but feel a little curious. Ning Caichen was counting what he was counting. He followed Ning Caichen's gaze and looked at the river in the distance. The fishing fires were dotted, but he didn't see anything strange!

The others next to him were also attracted by the words of the prince in blue. They looked at Ning Caichen and saw Ning Caichen looking at the river. They followed Ning Caichen's gaze curiously, but found nothing.

"I'm counting, and there are several fishing boats that have sunk like a river."

Ning Caichen smiled and said, everyone present was stunned. The young man in the green Confucian shirt also looked at the river in a conditional manner, and saw a calm wave, then smiled-

"This brother is joking. How could the fishing boat sink into the river? Is there any big storm?"

"What if there is something in the river?" Ning Caichen continued, then his eyes moved and he looked at a place on the river: "Ninth!"

"Things" The young man in a green Confucian shirt looked up. When he heard the ninth person in Ning Caichen's mouth, his face changed, and his eyes also looked in the direction of Ning Caichen's gaze. He saw that the river was pitch black and the young man's eyes changed slightly because he vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a fishing boat just now, but now the fishing fire has disappeared. He remembered a little unclear if it was like this: "Brother, I mean there is a monster!"

"Monster!" "No, what monster dares to come to my Yueyang City to be presumptuous!" "This, probably won't..."

When they heard the word "monster", the people on the third floor changed their faces and were a little surprised and confused.

"It's getting closer!" Ning Caichen said to himself, ignoring these people, because he had already felt a demonic aura, slowly approaching from Jiangzhong: "The tenth...the eleventh...the fifteenth..."

Ning Caichen counted several more. Many people next to him had not seen clearly yet, but looked at the young man in green Confucian shirts in a daze. His face changed. He was very careful and kept paying attention to Ning Caichen's gaze. Just when Ning Caichen looked at him, he also looked at him with his eyes. Others didn't know what Ning Caichen counted, but he knew and could see clearly. On the distant river, six fishing fires suddenly went out, with less than one breathing time between front and back. One fishing fire represents a fishing boat, and six fishing fires are six fishing boats.

After a quick glance, the young man in the green Confucian shirt stood up suddenly. At this moment, he believed Ning Caichen's words seven times.

"Seventeen...Nineteen...Twenty...Come here!"

Ning Caichen spoke again. At this time, the others around him also saw that on the river in front of Yueyang Tower, several fishing fires were extinguished in a straight line coming to this side from a distance. Almost a number fell from Ning Caichen's mouth, one fishing fire was extinguished. This was so weird and obviously abnormal!

It seemed like something came from the river toward this side. Wherever you passed, all the fishing fires were extinguished. On the third floor, most literati were ordinary people. Even if there was moonlight and the distance was far away, they could only vaguely see the fishing fires extinguished, and the others could not be seen clearly. However, Ning Caichen could see clearly that fishing boats were dragged directly into the river by something!

"It's not really a monster."

A timid man's face turned pale. Although he had not seen clearly what it was, he couldn't help but feel scared when he saw the fishing fires extinguished so strangely.

At this time, the fishing people on the river seemed to have noticed the situation and realized the danger. Fishing fires gathered from the docks in all directions. There were more and more lights on the docks, and there were more and more people. It was noisy. You could vaguely hear someone shouting "Danger" and "Come back quickly" at the river!

"What's really wrong!"

The people on the third floor also became turbulent. Monsters are synonymous with terror to ordinary people. Monsters eat people and have been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

"It disappeared again, it disappeared again..."

Someone pointed at the river tremblingly, and several fishing fires disappeared. They were fishing boats that gathered from a distance. However, because they were too far away from the wharf, they landed at the end, and several fishing fires were extinguished again.

"bump!"

The water splashed everywhere, and it was a large splash of water splashed on the water several miles away from the pier. This time, many people saw clearly that a fishing boat was dragged directly into the river by something and never came out again.

"Monster! Monsters eat people!" On the third floor, several timid literati were so scared that their faces turned pale.

"Go and notify the prefect." Someone said, "It was the young man in a green Confucian shirt. At this time, his face changed, but he was calm and his mind was very clear. He thought of notifying the prefect at the first time.

"Yes! Yes! Go and notify the prefect..."

Immediately someone catered to him and ran downstairs quickly. When he saw someone informing the prefect, the young man in green breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was a little literary, he was just an ordinary person. If he was really a monster, he could not do anything. He looked at Ning Caichen when he had time and found that Ning Caichen was still drinking and drinking, looking light and cloudless, and his eyes couldn't help but show a strange look.

"Escape! The monster is here!" "Come back quickly, dangerous!" "..."
