The next morning, the three of them got up and settled the bill with the innkeeper. Then, they mounted their horses and galloped towards Jianye City.
They arrived at Jianye City before long and found an inn to stay in.
The next day, the three of them rode horses and began to tour Jianye City. First, they came to Mount Qingliang.
The main gate of Qingliang Mountain was a three-arch archway. The words "Qingliang Mountain" on the middle gate were written by Gong Xian, the Lord of the Ye Sweeping Tower. On Mount Qingliang, scenic spots and historical sites could be found everywhere, such as "Zhumapo","Nantang Ancient Well","Qingliang Temple","Chongzheng Academy" and "Sweeping Leaf Tower".
The plaque of Deqing Hall was personally written by Li Yu, the Latter Ruler. Every summer, the Latter Lord Li often stayed here. Dong Yu's dragon painting, Li Houzhu's eight-point script, and Li Xiaoyuan's cursive script were all collected in the temple, which were collectively known as the "Three Wonders" of the temple. There is a well in the temple, named "Baodaquan".
According to legend, the monks in the temple used this well water. Although they were old, their hair and beard were not white, so it was also called "Huanyang Well". On the back slope of Qingliang Mountain, Zhuge Wuhou was stationed at Mapo. Legend had it that Zhuge Liang had once personally gone to Jingkou to talk with Sun Quan in order to ally with Wu against Cao Cao. When he passed by Moling, he had made a short stay and rode a horse to observe the landscape of Moling. He had also left behind a famous saying," Zhong Fu and Long Pan, Shi Cheng and Hu Ju, it is truly the residence of an emperor."
There was a stone wall in the west of Mount Qingliang. It was twenty feet long and twenty feet wide, and it was full of holes and bumps. Because the stone was mainly made of gravel, it was red in color, with purple and black rocks in the middle. It looked like a ferocious " ghost face ", so it became Ghost Face City. It was said that in the past, this rock was as smooth as a mirror.
Once, a mountain troll from Mount Qingliang came out to harm the people. It was discovered by an immortal who specialized in eliminating demons in the human world, so he chased after it relentlessly. The mountain demon had nowhere to hide after escaping to this place, so it hid itself in the cliff. The immortal used the Demon Revealing Mirror to shine on it, revealing the ghost face. The smooth mountain wall became like this today. In order to prevent the mountain troll from escaping, the immortal placed a mirror in front of the cliff, which later turned into a pond.
Zhumapo
Zhumapo was the earliest site of Mount Qingliang, and the earliest saying about the "tiger and dragon" came from Zhuge Liang. Back then, Cao Cao led a fleet of thousands of miles to force Liu Bei, who had been selling straw sandals, into a corner. It was all thanks to Zhuge Liang's timely visit to Jiangdong to persuade Sun Quan that Sun Quan and Liu Bei, who were slightly weaker in terms of military strength, were able to form an alliance and defeat Cao Cao, creating the wonderful Battle of Red Cliff.
According to historical records, Zhuge Liang once passed through Moling (now Jianye) and rode a horse to carefully investigate the terrain of Nanjing at that time. He saw the mountains led by Mount Zhong (Purple Gold Mountain), winding like a dragon in the southeast, and the mountains ending at Mount Stone (Qingliang Mountain), like a tiger sitting on the bank of the Yangtze River. Such natural scenery made him sigh,"Mount Zhong is a dragon coiling, and the stone city is a tiger crouching. This is the residence of an emperor."
Therefore, he went back to persuade Sun Quan. Sun Quan moved the capital here and built a "Stone City" on the foundation of Jin Ling. Therefore, Mount Qingliang was called "Stone Mountain". According to historical records, Zhumapo was located in the east gate of Qingliang Mountain. Here, there was a stone carving of "Zhumapo" written by the famous calligraphy and painting master Liu Haisu.
qingliangsi
Qingliang Temple, also known as Stone Qingliang Taoist Temple and Qingliang Zhi Temple, was located on Qingliang Mountain in the west of Nanjing Urban area.

The Latter Ruler Li of the Southern Tang Dynasty often came here to meditate and chant Buddha, so it was also called the "Summer Palace".
In the first year of Shengyuan of Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Jing stayed here to avoid the heat and cool.
