Yes, に can come directly after the dictionary form of a verb in **many**
situations. It's hard to generalize.

It may be best to memorize each pattern without thinking too much. But in case
you're curious, に was an [archaic conjunctive particle](https://www.hello-
school.net/haroajapa010017.htm) similar to modern と/ので/のに, and it is still
surviving in some constructions of modern Japanese. In addition, there was no
nominalizer の/こと in archaic Japanese. In modern Japanese, sometimes the
dictionary-form (or, to be exact, attributive-form) of a verb can act as a
noun in certain proverbs and idioms. See
[this](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/64661/5010).
