Judy let out a cry of fear and woke up from her dream. Her clothes were soaked with sweat. Judy has seen all kinds of storms in her life, but she never thought that she would be so frightened by nightmares. I hurried to the minister to interpret my dream, and the minister told me that the demon in my dream was the strict "enemy of red Yan" of Tibetan Buddhism. Pictured: Zhu
According to legend, the enemy of Red Yamaraja is a demon in hell, and Judy dreamed that the enemy of Red Yamaraja would kill him because of excessive war. In the battle of Jingnan, Judy usurped the position of her nephew, and her hands were covered with innocent blood. Therefore, the minister suggested that Judy let Thangka, the enemy of Yan Luowang embroidered by craftsmen, hang in the palace and order monks to recite scriptures day and night, which might solve this problem.

Judy took the minister's advice, and after successfully drawing Thangka, the enemy of Red Yamaraja, the nightmare was slightly alleviated. But not long after, I had the same nightmare again and tortured it all night. Finally, Judy had to listen to the minister's suggestion and invited the fifth Karmapa Deshin Shekpa from * * * *. At this time, Deshin Shekpa was only 22 years old, but he was already the king of France. Pictured: Red Yamaraja enemy
In the fifth year of Yongle (1407),1October 25th, Deshin Shekpa finally arrived in Nanjing after two years' trek. Judy personally greeted Deshin Shekpa at the door. A year later, Deshin Shekpa bid farewell to Judy and returned to * * *. The red statue of the great enemy of Yamaraja was given to Deshin Shekpa by Judy. After Deshin Shekpa left, Judy never dreamed of the enemy of Red Yamaraja, and that nightmare never appeared again. Pictured: Deshin Shekpa
In a blink of an eye, hundreds of years have passed, and Deshin Shekpa, Judy and others have already become history, but this photo of Thangka, the enemy of Red Yamaraja, was exiled to Sikkim and has been treasured by Sikkim. 1940, Sikkim presented this Thangka to British Ambassador to Sikkim Henry.

194 1 year, Henry brought Thangka back to London and put it at home. After Henry's death, his grandson Johnson put Thangka on the table as a tablecloth for four years. 1976, Johnson invited friends to dinner at home. One of my friends who came to dinner is a history student, and I saw this beautiful Thangka at a glance. Pictured: Henry
Johnson's friend appreciated this beautiful Thangka and asked to sell it to him. Finally, he bought it for 500 pounds. 1977, a friend of Johnson put Thangka up for auction. The expert insisted that it was a handicraft, so he took it away for 7500 pounds. Pictured: The enemy part of red Yamaraja.
20 14, 1 1, the experts took it back to Christie's in Hong Kong for auction. After the auction began, collectors from Japan, Britain, Hong Kong and other places made fierce bids, and the price once soared to more than 200 million. In the end, Chinese mainland collector Liu Yiqian bought it at a sky-high price of HK$ 348 million. Pictured: auction site
As a result, Thangka, the enemy of Red Yamaraja who drifted for more than 600 years, returned to China again. The legend of Yongle's sky-high Thangka came to an end. Pictured: Close-up of Red Yamaraja's opponent.
