窎橋王炳者出村，見土地祠中出一美人，顧盼甚殷。試挑之，歡然樂受。狎昵無所，遂期夜奔，炳因告以居址。至夜果至，極相悅愛。問其姓名，固不以告。由此往來不絕。時炳與妻共榻，美人亦必來與交，妻亦不覺其有人。炳訝問之。美人曰：「我土地夫人也。」炳大駭，亟欲絕之，而百計不能阻。因循半載，病憊不起。美人來更頻，家人都見之。未幾，炳果卒。美人猶日一至，炳妻叱之曰：「淫鬼不自羞！人已死矣，復來何為？」美人遂去，不返。
窵橋有個叫王炳的人，出村時，看見土地祠裡走出一個美人，頻頻向他投來熱切的目光。他試著上前挑逗，她欣然接受。兩人沒有地方親熱，便約定讓她夜裡來，王炳把自己的住處告訴了她。到了晚上，她果然來了，兩人十分歡愛。王炳問她的姓名，她堅決不肯說。從此，她不斷前來。王炳和妻子同睡一張床時，美人也一定會來跟他同房，妻子卻絲毫察覺不到旁邊還有人。王炳覺得奇怪，便問她。美人說：「我是土地夫人。」王炳大驚，急著想斷絕往來，卻想盡辦法也擋不住她。這樣拖了半年，他病得精疲力竭，臥床不起。美人來得更加頻繁，家裡人也都看見了她。不久，王炳果然死了。美人仍舊每天來一次，王炳的妻子呵斥她說：「你這個淫鬼，自己不覺得羞恥嗎！人已經死了，還來幹什麼？」美人這才離去，再也沒有回來。

Wang Bing of Diaoqiao was going out of his village when he saw a beautiful woman come out of the Earth God's shrine. She kept glancing at him, very warmly. He tried flirting with her, and she welcomed it gladly. They had nowhere to be alone together, so they agreed that she would come to him at night, and Wang told her where he lived. That night she came, as promised, and they took great delight in each other. He asked her name, but she firmly refused to tell it. From then on she came and went without a break. Wang shared a bed with his wife, yet the beauty would still come and lie with him, and his wife never noticed that anyone was there. Astonished, Wang asked her about it. “I am the Earth God's lady,” she said. Wang was terrified and wanted to break it off at once, but nothing he tried could keep her away. Things dragged on like this for half a year, until he was so worn out with illness that he could not get up. The beauty came more often than ever, and the whole household saw her. Before long, just as might be expected, Wang died. Still the beauty came once a day. Wang's wife cursed her: “You lewd ghost, have you no shame? The man is dead. What do you keep coming for?” At that the beauty left and did not come back.
