○零陵何仙姑者。幼行山中。逢呂仙出桃食之遂不飢。家異之作樓以居。呂仙常過之。仙姑逆知世人未然事。狄青南征優智高。問仙姑曰。是行可克否。姑曰。癤破膿出。既而左校孫節陷陳再戰而破之。著作佐郎焦浚明以仕宦不達奏章自訴。一夕得幅紙。有十六字不可識。持問姑。姑曰。天篆也且亟歸家。浚明叩之。姑曰。受金五兩折壽十年。枉殺二人死後處分。浚明至家即死。士夫過零陵者日至門訪災祥。仙姑厭之。乃盛服坐化。著靈源志。言修養事。行於世（湖南永州）。

> Immortal Maiden He of Lingling walked in the mountains when she was young. She met the immortal Lǚ, who gave her peaches to eat, and thereafter she never felt hunger. Her family found this extraordinary and built a upper-story pavilion for her to dwell in. The immortal Lǚ often visited her. The immortal maiden foresaw the future affairs of worldly people. When Di Qing campaigned in the south against Nong Zhigao, he asked the immortal maiden, "Will this expedition be victorious?" The maiden said, "The boil will break and pus will flow." Soon afterward, the left commander Sun Jie fell in battle, but in a second engagement \[Di Qing\] broke them. When Jiao Junming, an assistant editorial director, was frustrated in his official career, he submitted a memorial to complain \[to Heaven\]. One night he obtained a sheet of paper with sixteen characters that could not be recognized. He brought it to ask the maiden. The maiden said, "This is heavenly seal script; go home immediately!" Junming pressed her. The maiden said, "Accepting five taels of gold took ten years from your lifespan; wrongfully killing two people will be judged after death." When Junming reached home, he died immediately. Scholar-officials passing through Lingling came daily to her gate to inquire about good and bad fortune. Disgusted by this, the immortal maiden dressed in formal attire and died while seated. She composed the Lingyuan zhi (Record of the Numinous Source), which discussed self-cultivation practices and circulated in the world. (In Yongzhou, Hunan).
