話說何清躺在公子臥室，時有二鼓，聽外面一陣狂風。何清本不會捉妖，心中暗自擔驚，心裡說：「真要是妖精一來，若這道符不管事，我趁早踹窗戶逃走。」正在思想之際，聽外面有「咯噠咯噠」木頭的聲音，由外面進來一個女人，長得千嬌百媚，萬種風流。怎見得，有贊為證：

Now, He Qing lay in the young master’s bedroom. It was the second drum of the night, and he heard a wild gust of wind outside. He Qing had never really known how to catch demons, and he was secretly afraid. “If a demon really does come,” he said to himself, “and this talisman is no use, I’ll kick out the window and run for it while I can.” Just as he was thinking this, he heard a wooden clack-clack outside, and in came a woman with a thousand charms and a hundred graces, alluring in ten thousand ways. What did she look like? There is a verse of praise to prove it:
一陣陣香風撲面，一聲聲燕語鶯啼。妖滴滴柳眉杏眼，嫩生生粉臉桃腮。櫻桃口內把玉排，粉面香腮可愛。身穿藍衫可體，金蓮香裙可蓋；恰似嫦娥降玉台，猶如神仙下界來。
一阵阵香风扑面，一声声燕语莺啼。妖滴滴柳眉杏眼，嫩生生粉脸桃腮。樱桃口内把玉排，粉面香腮可爱。身穿蓝衫可体，金莲香裙可盖；恰似嫦娥降玉台，犹如神仙下界来。
Gust on gust, a fragrant breeze blows in your face;note on note, the twitter of swallows and the song of orioles.So dainty, so dewy, her willow-leaf brows and almond eyes;so soft, so fresh, her powdered face and peach-blossom cheeks.In her cherry mouth a row of jade is set;her powdered face and fragrant cheeks a joy to see.She wears a blue gown that fits her close,and her fragrant skirt just covers her golden lotuses;Just like Chang’e come down from her jade terrace,like an immortal descending to the world below.
何清一看，心說：「敢情這就是妖精。」就聽這婦人說：「什麼人膽大，敢來到仙姑的臥室？」說著話就往裡走。剛一走進裡間屋門，只看見那道符顯出一道金光繚繞，直射那婦人。那婦人「哎呀！」一聲，撥頭便走。何清趕過去一刀，剁下一隻紅繡鞋，鮮血淋淋，何清就說：「拿住妖精了。」王員外有許多的家人俱在別的屋裡伺候，點著燈，聽何清一嚷：「拿住了。」

He Qing took one look and said to himself, “So this is the demon.” He heard the woman say, “Who is so bold as to come into the Immortal Lady’s bedroom?” Talking as she came, she walked on in. She had just stepped through the door of the inner room when the talisman gave off a ray of golden light that wreathed and swirled and shot straight at her. With a cry of “Aiya!” the woman turned round and fled. He Qing rushed after her and struck with his blade, and off came a red embroidered shoe, dripping with fresh blood. “I’ve caught the demon!” said He Qing. Squire Wang had a great many servants waiting in the other rooms with the lamps lit, and they heard He Qing shout, “Caught it!”
