Genuinely skillful storytelling right there. Humanizes the character and involves the audience. What would your first reaction to a ghostly encounter in a cave be..probably not falling to your knees shouting "oh god, my god"..right, lol? Mo does what most of us would do. He is afraid and uncertain. He's not entirely credulous. He's also a modest man, bless his heart, and so his lowly human chattel have to declare his value and worth to him.
This all helps to establish that the story is authentic, and that the protagonist is credible, and the message worthy. By the transitive property of shitlogic that means Mos thought droppings in magic book are authentic, credible, and worthy.
